A probably stupid question

I just installed ntop, as a complete noob, and have a quick question:

I installed on a fresh ubuntu 64-bit 9.04, and installed doing a
"apt-get install ntop -y" as root.

Set the admin password, restarted the service the service with "ntop -u
ntop -d"

Browsed to the address at port 3000, and it's there.

It seems to be accumulating host, but when I go to summary/hosts, I get
a blank page, the same with network traffic, and several others.

Is there a permissions issue? Do I need to create a user called ntop on
my ubuntu server and do some kind of chown?

Or am I just foolish?

Thanks

Kyle

Re: A probably stupid question [In reply to]

I'd run it root first, easier. If it works as root then likely a perms issue.

Re: A probably stupid question [In reply to]

No joy.

Did “/etc/init.d/ntop stop”, then “ntop –u root”. Still getting a white screen of nothingness when I go to ntop via IE or Firefox, and go to summary/hosts.

I’m certain I have done something stupid.

Re: A probably stupid question [In reply to]

FYI.

On the home screen, it shows eth0, but no speed and a sampling rate of 0.

It is grabbing information from eth0 however. And it sees 660 “Active End Nodes”, which is about accurate.

Re: A probably stupid question [In reply to]

Hmmmm. THAT is a very interesting question.

On the desktop? Older Java. I’ll try on another computer with a more recent Java iteration.

Re: A probably stupid question [In reply to]

Don't know then - maybe someone with Ubuntu 64 can help? If it goes
much further I'm sure someone will ask you to get the latest release
from SVN. You never know what porters did / didn't do.
