RE: [Ntop] Newb Question - adding protocols and filtering them

[Tim Weid]

Title: Message

The service is already installed.  It installs when you run the .exe.  Not seeing where I have a choice on this.  So if it is running as a service, I cannot change the stored parameters?  If I shut down the service I can’t even get to the web page to display or manage.    From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Burton Strauss Sent: Thursday, March 31, 2005 7:27 AM To: ntop@Unipi.IT Subject: RE: [Ntop] Newb Question - adding protocols and filtering them   REMEMBER: there are TWO ways to run ntop, one as a service, one 'interactively' (/c)  Right?   They are totally separate.  Just because you ran ntop w/ interactively with some parameter set, doesn't affect the stored parameter set for the service... that's what /i does - INSTALL ntop as a service (possibly with parameters).   So it did exactly what you told it to do...   -----Burton     From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tim Weid Sent: Thursday, March 31, 2005 8:04 AM To: ntop@Unipi.IT Subject: RE: [Ntop] Newb Question - adding protocols and filtering them After the change I could not get the service to restart manually, but it did after a reboot but none of the changes are there.   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tim Weid Sent: Thursday, March 31, 2005 6:52 AM To: ntop@Unipi.IT Subject: RE: [Ntop] Newb Question - adding protocols and filtering them   Ok got it to read by shutting the service down manually (there is only one instance running) and then putting in the ntop /c –p qcsi.list   Now it is saying unknown protocols.  I thought it was a format problem but the process I used to create the list was to copy the services.list and edit and rename it to qcsi.list   Error is:  PROTO_INIT: unknown protocol ‘ftp      21/tcp                           ‘. It has been ignored.   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Burton Strauss Sent: Thursday, March 31, 2005 6:43 AM To: ntop@Unipi.IT Subject: RE: [Ntop] Newb Question - adding protocols and filtering them   Yes.   gdbm is a one-write OR multiple-reader db.  That message indicates that another process has the database file open or it can't be created.  If you look at docs/FAQ there are two choices:    * Another ntop already running  * Some sort of file system problem (non-existent directory, permissions, etc.)   So either -P is wrong, OR another ntop is running.  Hence why I suggested you check to make sure that the service is stopped before you run interactively (ntop /c).   -----Burton     From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tim Weid Sent: Thursday, March 31, 2005 7:30 AM To: ntop@Unipi.IT Subject: RE: [Ntop] Newb Question - adding protocols and filtering them Am I missing something? Or is this a bug and you can’t add protocols with the WIN32 version.  The /c switch should do the restart correct?   Tried to rename my existing file to qcsi.list, put it in the ntop-win32 directory and ran ntop /c –p qcsi.list and it get the same error.  Put the file at the root of C: and tried ntop /c –p c:\qcsi.list and get the error as well   ***FATAL_ERROR***… open of C:\program files\ntop-win32/prefcache.db failed: can’t be writer   Possible solution: please use ‘-P <Directory>       From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Burton Strauss Sent: Wednesday, March 30, 2005 2:55 PM To: ntop@Unipi.IT Subject: RE: [Ntop] Newb Question - adding protocols and filtering them   Yes - read the docs/FAQ file, it shows the values. ------Burton   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tim Weid Sent: Wednesday, March 30, 2005 9:09 AM To: ntop@Unipi.IT Subject: RE: [Ntop] Newb Question - adding protocols and filtering them Problem is there is no Protocols.list file in the Win32 version.  Is the default list compiled in the app?   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of jacengel Sent: Wednesday, March 30, 2005 8:53 AM To: ntop@Unipi.IT Subject: RE: [Ntop] Newb Question - adding protocols and filtering them   rename the file to protocol.list (seems it does not accept  .txt ) and run   Ntop /c -p c:\protocol.list  Place the file protocol.list in  Ntopwin32  directory and run   Ntop /c -p protocol.list   cheers Jac -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tim Weid Sent: woensdag 30 maart 2005 15:35 To: ntop@Unipi.IT Subject: [Ntop] Newb Question - adding protocols and filtering them Just bought NTOP and need to add some protocols.  I have tried using the list but I get syntax errors.  I really need to track streaming protocols, and MAPI clients.   I use:   Ntop –p c:\lists.txt   And all I get is the error   What is the correct syntax and where is the default folder location?
