Creating directory structures (and appropriate permissions) is usually part of the binary package (e.g. .rpm).
You can send them to me either on or off list as I maintain the FAQ. -----Burton -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Lech Pankowski Sent: Wednesday, November 30, 2005 6:12 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Ntop] GDBM open failed Subject: RE: [Ntop] GDBM open failed > Read docs/FAQ - That message almost always has the cause listed in the > log, further explained in docs/FAQ... > -----Burton 1. What user is this being run as? 2. Is /usr/local/var/ntop owned by that use? James Not a nice solution, but a workaround is to delete all the *.db files in the /usr/local/var/ntop/ directory... Scott Hi, Thanks to everybody for all your hints and suggestions. All the matter appeared to be fairly simple: I didn't have var/ntop subdirectory in /usr/local. I knew about it, but because the compilation proces (as well as the attempt to start ntop) was running by root, I supposed that all the file structure necessary to run ntop was already created. After a few days of efforts with ntop I also have a few remarks maybe worth to include somwhere to the ntop html pages. I hope them to be helpful to the future ntop users and a bit reduce the number of questions coming to the list. Where to send such remarks? To this list (maybe some of you maintain it) or somewhere else?
