Perhaps because Monkey's don't read?
man ntop:
" -w |
--http-server
-W |
--https-server
ntop offers an embedded web server to present the information that has been so painstak- ingly gathered. An external HTTP server is NOT required NOR supported. The ntop web server is embedded into the application. These parameters specify the port (and option- ally the address (i.e. interface)) of the ntop web server. For example, if
started with -w 3000 (the default port), the URL to
access ntop is
http://hostname:3000/. If started with a full specification, e.g. -w 192.168.1.1:3000, ntop listens on only that address/port combination. If -w is set to
0 the web server will not listen for http:// connections.
-W operates
similarly, but controls the port for the https://
connections.
Some
examples:
ntop -w 3000 -W
0 (this is the default setting) HTTP requests on port 3000 and no
HTTPS.
ntop -w 80 -W
443 Both HTTP and HTTPS have been enabled on their most common
ports.
ntop -w 0 -W 443
HTTP disabled, HTTPS enabled on the common port.
Certain
sensitive, configuration pages of the ntop
web server are protected by
a
userid/password. By default, these are the user/URL administration, filter, shutdown and reset stats are password protected and are accessible initially only to user admin with a password set during the first run of ntop. Users can
modify/add/delete users/URLs using ntop itself - see the Admin
tab.
The passwords,
userids and URLs to protect with passwords are stored in a database
file.
Passwords are stored in an encrypted form in the database for further security. Best practices call for securing that database so that only the ntop user can read it. There is a
discussion in docs/FAQ about further securing the ntop
environment."

installation. I was able to get ntop up and
running error free But,,,, No web
interface I went to http://xxx.xxx.xxx And
nothing…. Ok, maybe it needs apache
running? Got the apache default page up just
fine, but no ntop web interface. Let’s check the
README! Nothing Let’s check the man
pages! Nothing Found a file called
ntop.html Pointed apache to
it Got the man pages for ntop up
