      I noticed this too, it seems rrdtool wasnt being installed which is required for ntop to run, I managed to install this manually and ntop now works fine.

      regards

            Still having issues. I installed rrdtools via "pkg_add -r rrdtool", installed ntop from the gui, and still no access what so ever.

            I have made sure that the firewall rules allow access to port 3000 on the LAN, have set ntop settings appropriately (LAN, password entered), and have rebooted following installation. Netcating the port shows that the connection to 3000 is timing out instead of showing open, even on a firewall with all rules set to open access. Logs show nothing related to netcat apart from installation and I have reinstalled both the package and the gui from pfsense's gui.

            To johnpoz, did you install rrdtool before installing ntop or after?

                Most excellent, freeradius trick was the fix. Thank you.

                  Yeah I had freeradius already installed, so the rrdtools fixed it for me.

                    I was having issues myself after installing NTOP and no NTOP site - what I had to do was reset my NTOP password to "normal" characters - uppercase, lowercase, numbers combo and NOT the weird characters I was intially using.

                        Hi All,

                        For some reasons for me the ntop 3.3.8 doesn't work after upgrading from 1.2.1-RC4 to the 1.2.1 release (upgrade with full .gz). It refuse to start. After troubleshoot for a while and no luck i decided to install with fresh cop of pfsense. Backup the config file and reinstall, everything works like charm!

                        Thanks,

                        CQ

                          For me, installing the Freeradius package fulfilled whatever dependencies were missing. That being said, I ceased using NTOP while still in 1.2.1. No idea if the problem was fixed by the time 1.2.2 was released. We're moving to a centralized network monitor anyway and will probably rely on SNMP traps for making pretty charts from now on.
