#1 - Upgrade. The current cvs is 2.2.99. MORAL: If you're going to track the cvs, then track it and keep current.
Do I think there are any fixes for your problems? No. But I've got zero interest in even thinking about a 2 month old cvs version... #2 - Did you READ HowTo ask for help??? If you give us information, we'll try and help us. If you think you're smart enough not to give the information we ask for, well, then you're smart enough to fix your own problem... The stuff we ask for is based on long experience answering questions - it's the stuff we normally need. Yeah, it's a lot of data. And while it may be too much, but it's rarely too little unless you're really into squirrelly problems. If you had provided the information, I wouldn't be asking the usual questions: ARE THERE ANY LOG MESSAGES? WHAT DO THEY SAY??? ARE THERE ANY CONSOLE MESSAGES WHEN YOU RUN??? WHAT TO THEY SAY??? HOW DID YOU CONFIGURE AND BUILD NTOP? Did you run make && make install -- OR ARE YOU TRYING TO RUN FROM THE BUILD DIRECTORY? (There's a docs/FAQ entry on JUST THAT TOPIC - look for the one "What is the function of the 'ntop' script in the build directory") 98% of the help we can offer is already in docs/FAQ - I've built that file based on 2 years of answering the same questions, time and time and time again. It's all in there... but it can be hard to find if you don't already know ntop. As for init scripts, there are a couple of versions of init scripts floating around. The one I use and support is in the packages/RedHat/ntop.init file (or something quite similar to that name). The others all work fine too. -----Burton > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Kevin > Phillips > Sent: Wednesday, February 04, 2004 2:44 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: [Ntop] RE:NTOP and RRD > > > Ok let me try this way...
