From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mukom TAMON Sent: Tuesday, August 19, 2008 9:22 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Ntop] Error Loading Shared libraries:libntopreport-3.3.7.so:while Starting ntop for First Time Thanks James, I rand sudo ldconfig and then executed the initial command. [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ /usr/local/bin/ntop -A -u ntop -P /usr/local/var/ntop i am now getting this error Tue Aug 19 05:18:11 2008 NOTE: Interface merge enabled by default Tue Aug 19 05:18:11 2008 Initializing gdbm databases Tue Aug 19 05:18:11 2008 **ERROR** ....open of /usr/local/var/ntop/prefsCache.db failed: File open error Tue Aug 19 05:18:11 2008 Possible solution: please use '-P <directory>' Tue Aug 19 05:18:11 2008 **FATAL_ERROR** GDBM open failed, ntop shutting down... Tue Aug 19 05:18:11 2008 CLEANUP[t3076114624]: ntop caught signal 2 [state=2] Tue Aug 19 05:18:11 2008 ntop is now quitting... Any ideas? With ntop, when in doubt, always check permissions ;) Does user "bigbrother" have permission to write to /usr/local/var/ntop? I've always found it best to run ntop as root the first run, set the admin pass, then go back and change permissions to match the user you plan to run ntop as. I run ntop as "nobody", so here's my perms for /usr/local/var/ntop: drwxr-xr-x 4 nobody nobody 4096 2008-05-21 18:39 /usr/local/var/ntop/ keep in mind that ntop also stores the html in /usr/local/share/ntop: drwxr-xr-x 3 nobody nobody 4096 2008-05-21 14:45 /usr/local/share/ntop/ Hope that helps. James
