 |
|
hello there i try to start the service "/etc/init.d/ntop start" but i get the following | Code: | root@ ~ > /etc/init.d/ntop start
* Service ntop starting
Mon Jul 6 02:26:29 2009 NOTE: Interface merge enabled by default

* ERROR: ntop failed to start
|
whereas if i start it using "ntop -u root -i eth0" it starts just fine...what is wrong with that?? my /etc/conf.d/ntop looks like | Code: | # Set preferred options here
NTOP_OPTS="--http-server 3000 --https-server 0 --interface eth0"
# suggestions from bug #136983 (use it in case you experience ntop hangs)
#NTOP_OPTS="u ntop -P /var/lib/ntop --disable-schedyield --http-server 3000 --https-server 3001"
NTOP_OPTS="-u root -P /var/lib/ntop"
|
the thing is that it used to start just fine until a couple of months ago and now that i needed to start it again i came confronting this problem...any help would be greatly appreciated...thanks in advance... |

Hmm, no ideas sorry. Try strace -ing the startup and look for strange errors:
| Code: |
strace -fo/tmp/strace.out /etc/init.d/ntop restart
less /tmp/strace.out |

Dpetka2001, have you been able to solve your problem? I have had similar issues and I have been able to address the issue by looking at /var/log/messages.
Cheers! |
