-b is the short form of disable-decoders (a performance option). It doesnt take a parameter, so ntop doesnt recognize localhost:4000 as anything but the garbage it is.
Try reading a CURRENT man page what you are trying to do has been out of ntop for years. -----Burton _____ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Renzo Alejandro Clavijo Romero Sent: Friday, May 04, 2007 7:38 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [Ntop] ntop3 + mySQL (Correction) Sorry ... When I wrote "nagios", I meant "ntop" ... i'm a bit tired .... Cheers ... ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Renzo Alejandro Clavijo Romero <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: 03-may-2007 17:05 Subject: ntop3 + mySQL To: [email protected] Hi all .... I've just installed an ntop3.2 suite on a FC4 server. I got the source from http://fresh.t-systems-sfr.com/unix/src/misc/ntop-3.2.tgz and followed the installation instruccions as described in BUILD-NTOP.txt. However, I have not could bring up the TCP-IP connection between nagios and listening socket mySQLserver.pl. I start nagios in this way: /usr/local/bin/ntop -P /usr/local/share/ntop -b localhost:4000 but this error comes up: Thu May 3 17:09:12 2007 NOTE: Interface merge enabled by default Thu May 3 17:09:12 2007 Initializing gdbm databases FATAL ERROR: Unrecognized/unprocessed ntop options... localhost:4000 run /usr/local/bin/ntop --help for usage information Common problems: -B "filter expressions" (quotes are required) --use-syslog=facilty (the = is required) In fact, when I write "ntop --help" the "-b" option does not seem to be a valid option to send information to a listening socket .... I have already read a lot of documents, but the problem still exists. Do you know if I am doing something wrong? I also read the "./configure --help" to see if there was any option regarding mySQL compliant ... but there is no one.
