Well, it means exactly what it says. ntop can't write to that file/directory.
It's typically either a permissions problem, or an non-existent directory. One of the common causes is forgetting to tell ntop (via the -P parameter) to use a non-default path. -----Burton -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, September 12, 2005 4:05 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [Ntop] Can not start Ntop Hi, can anyone help me ?
