Sounds like ntop is already running...
 
Read the man page - esp. the -w command and the writeup on -u.  If that's not enough, there is more in docs/FAQ on these topics.

Subject: [Ntop] Error open of /var/ntop/prefsCache.db failed. Can't be awriter

Hi,

I have enocuntered this error:

Error open of /var/ntop/prefsCache.db failed. Can't be a writer

when running ntop. In my config file, I have set -P /var/ntop and set chmod 666 prefsCache.db but still the error occurs.

There is also another error I enocuntered:

***ERROR*** INITWEB: Binding problem - 'Address already in use'
Check another instance of ntop is running or if the currewnt user (-u) can bind to the specific port.

How do I check or which port should i bind the userid to and how to resolve these two errors?

There is no packets captured when viewing from the web GUI.

Greatly appreciate your help!!

Regards,
Annie
