The link you provided tutors using a source. Anyhow, I can copy and paste the ntop.conf. Also there is a small change in the init script for ntop in /etc/init.d

No, I did not install from source. The instruction says to install from source but I installed by doing yum install ntop.
I am still not sure what the problem is - the sys messages.

Any idea on what the errors say is wrong?
Thanks

Can you see what service ntop start gives you?

The last pidof tells that ntop is running. You can check the messages file in /var/log to check the logs.

Isn;t it bad that it can't open those .dat files?

Can you go to http://<your-ntop-ip:3000?
Till then I will look why the errors?

Hi
No, there is no access on those sites but then I am accessing using a WAN IP. I cannot access using the localhost as it is a command line linux box.

The firewall is open
-A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 3000 -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT

I tried the redownload fix and that did not work:

Is there an alternative to ntop because the install is clearly not working well - it doesn;t give me confidence in the software

Awatto · 11-08-2010, 11:30 AM

ntop is a popular tool to do what you wish to do. Don't be so quick to give up on things.

If you downloaded these files, did you uncompress them? where did you put them? A quick google search shows they might belong in /usr/local/share/GeoIP but I'm not currently with access to a machine that has ntop so I can't verify.

Feel free to look for other software if you'd like.

You could install darkstat network sniffing and reporting tool. This is in the Ubuntu repositories.
http://dmr.ath.cx/net/darkstat/
I installed it when I read this thread. It's been running for several hours and I got some nice reports.

It (may have to) run on a network router to see all of the network traffic. It's hard to tell on my home LAN over a few hours. Not much traffic, especially when I'm on a service call so not using the LAN.

How did you get the reports?
I have oit installed and running, but when I go to my WAN IP on the webs erver it just says "hello"

Just figured it out, you have to run it with the -p option and use a port number to access it through a browser.
It doesn't seem to give the usage per IP address though and current usage per IP address.
