Hallo,
I would like to ask for advice concerning the following problem:
Trying to run 'ntop' I have fetched the code and compiled it according to
description at
http://www.ntop.org/ntop.html (Aurox 11 environment)
The only warning during compilation was:
" WARNING: One or more items required for the xmldump plugin are missing:
libxml2.so or libxml2.a...yes
gdome.h...no
libgdome.so or libgdome.a...no
glib.h...no
libglib.so or libglib.a...no
glibconfig.h...no
.............
ntop will run just fine without this plugin..."
Unfortunately, after '# ./ntop' there is a
message:
NOTE: Interface merge enabled by default
Initializing gdbm databases
**ERROR** ....open of /usr/local/var/ntop/prefsCache.db failed: File open
error
Possible solution: please use '-P <directory>'
**FATAL_ERROR** GDBM open failed, ntop shutting down...
CLEANUP[t3086252576]: ntop caught signal 2
THREADMGMT[t3086252576]: ntop RUNSTATE: SHUTDOWN(7)
CLEANUP[t3086252576] catching thread is MAIN
CLEANUP: Running threads
CLEANUP: Locking purge mutex (may block for a little while)
CLEANUP: Locked purge mutex, continuing shutdown
CLEANUP: Continues
PLUGIN_TERM: Unloading plugins (if any)
CLEANUP: Clean up complete
THREADMGMT[t3086252576]: ntop RUNSTATE: TERM(8)
===================================
ntop is shutdown...
===================================
I don't know what to do. Should I install database server at my host? Make
some changes in ntop configuration? At first I just wanted to listen to the
network traffic without making any complicated statistics etc.
Many thanks in advance for every remark,
L. Pankowski
