Bad user - no biscuit. What is the actual 'problem'? Is ntop crashing? How do you know?? Is it just not responding to the web server? How do you know? How did you run ntop? etc. See "HowTo Ask for Help" in docs/FAQ...
Couple of random thoughts... Given that this is RH8, have you upgraded to an nptl set of glibc? If so, the --disable-sched-yield option is pretty much required. You didn't do something stupid like run with -w 0 -W 0 (that last one is the default, but the combo turns off the web server)? Or if you used -w 1234, make sure you're looking for the web server on port 1234... Run with -t 4 to see ALL the messages. If in fact ntop is crashing, the next standard step is to figure where is it crashing. Run ntop under gdb - instructions are in docs/FAQ - and capture the bt full output. -----Burton > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Mike > McCarty > Sent: Wednesday, December 17, 2003 11:01 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [Ntop] I just don't understand > > > Any help I can get on this would be very appreciated.
