      Would you mind checking the sum on ntopng.inc please?

      The command is this: sum /usr/local/pkg/ntopng.inc

      The expected output is this: 51966 12 /usr/local/pkg/ntopng.inc

      Thanks

      This is output of sum:

      51966 12 /usr/local/pkg/ntopng.inc

      As kesawi mention I also have certificate at place and it's regenerating.

        Regeneration of the ssl certificate every time you save settings or reboot is expected.

        r_e_d_b_a_r_o_n, can you post the unmodified content of /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ntopng.sh please?

        And can you clarify the version of pfSense you are running as well?

        Thanks

          So I uninstalled package and checked that every file belonging to ntopng is deleted and reinstalled;

          Output from sum is: 59748 12 /usr/local/pkg/ntopng.inc (so previosly file was modified by me);

          ntopng-cert.pem is avalable in /usr/local/share/ntopng/httpdocs/ssl;

          Contents of /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ntopng.sh:
          #!/bin/sh

          This file was automatically generated

          by the pfSense service handler.

          rc_start() {
          /usr/local/bin/redis-server –dir /var/db/ntopng/ --dbfilename ntopng.rdb &
          /usr/local/bin/ntopng -d /var/db/ntopng -G /var/run/ntopng.pid -s -e -w 0 -W 3000
              -i 'vmx1' -i 'vmx2' --dns-mode '0'  --local-networks '192.168.0.0/16,172.16.0.0/12,10.0.0.0/8' &

          }

          rc_stop() {
          /usr/bin/killall ntopng redis-cli redis-server

          }

          case $1 in
          start)
          rc_start
          ;;
          stop)
          rc_stop
          ;;
          restart)
          rc_stop
          rc_start
          ;;
          esac

          pfSense vewrsion I am running is:

          2.3.2-RELEASE (amd64)
          built on Tue Jul 19 12:44:43 CDT 2016
          FreeBSD 10.3-RELEASE-p5

            My output is different:

            59748 12 /usr/local/pkg/ntopng.inc
            

            Also my  /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ntopng.sh:

            #!/bin/sh
            # This file was automatically generated
            # by the pfSense service handler.

                            /usr/local/bin/redis-server --dir /var/db/ntopng/ --dbfilename ntopng.rdb &
                    /usr/local/bin/ntopng -d /var/db/ntopng -G /var/run/ntopng.pid -s -e -w 0 -W 3000

            }
            
            rc_stop() {
                    /usr/bin/killall ntopng redis-cli redis-server
            
            }
            
            case $1 in
                    start)
                            rc_start
                            ;;
                    stop)
                            rc_stop
                            ;;
            esac
            
            

            I notice I have -H in the rc_start.

            When I manually launch ntopng.sh

             /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ntopng.sh start

            I modified ntopng.sh to remove the line break before the -H and then ran it manually, and the script started without error, but still received [HTTPserver.cpp:503] ERROR in the log files.

              @r_e_d_b_a_r_o_n:

              Yep, that's the old version of ntopng.inc.

              The problem is in the repository. There are three branches in the repository that are pertinent, devel, 2_3, and 2_3_2. As you would expect, development happens in the devel branch, and changes are then back-ported as appropriate to the other branches. The changed files (Makefile, ntopng.inc) are in devel, and were ported to 2_3 (currently seen as the 2.3.3 test distribution), but the port to 2_3_2 was incomplete. The Makefile change is there, but the ntopng.inc change is not.

              There is a new PR to update the version number. I don't believe that the build server will be updated until Monday or possibly Tuesday. In the meantime, you can apply the following patch:

              /usr/local/pkg: diff ntopng.inc.old ntopng.inc.new
              149c149
              < $http_args = "-w 0 -W 3000\n";
              –-

              $http_args = "-w 0 -W 3000";
              152c152
              < $http_args = "-w 3000\n";


              $http_args = "-w 3000";

                Made the changes, saved the configuration through the GUI, still getting the error.

                  Okay, let's start over following these steps:

                  1. Confirm the sum of ntopng.inc. It should be 51966.

                  2. Save the configuration on the ntopng settings page.

                  3. Post the contents of /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ntopng.sh as generated. Please use a code section to ensure that there are no changes in posting.

                  4. Post the entire output from ntopng startup (including the error message).

                      I have the same problem. It's caused by an error to build the ssl certificate /usr/local/share/ntopng/httpdocs/ssl/ntopng-cert.pem

                      If you edit this file you have to change line between the certificate and the private key from
                      –---END CERTIFICATE----------BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----
                      to
                      -----END CERTIFICATE-----
                      -----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----

                      So you have to add the newline with enter key.

                      Now works fine.

                          Odd that your CERT doesn't have a new line at the end. Easy enough to fix. Where did the certificate originate from? Was it generated or imported?

                            My CERT is imported.
                            Where I find it in PFSense to add newline?

                            Thanks

                              Unfortunately once a cert is imported, you cannot edit it. You can edit CAs, but not certs.

                                I imported mine as well. Certificate works fine on the pfSense WebGUI

                                When importing a certificate into pfSense, the key and the certificate are pasted into separate form fields, so if the new line is skipped, it would be something to do with the way pfSense processes the data.

                                  pfSense takes the pasted data exactly as is, so it means that the certificated when pasted didn't end in a newline. What you would see in the input box is that after the paste the cursor is at the end of the line that says "–---END CERTIFICATE-----" rather than on the next line.

                                  My guess is that the certificate originated on a Windows system which sometimes omits the newline on files.

                                      Version 0.8.4_4 has the fix for the missing newline at the end of the certificate.

                                        I have the same problem. It's caused by an error to build the ssl certificate /usr/local/share/ntopng/httpdocs/ssl/ntopng-cert.pem

                                        If you edit this file you have to change line between the certificate and the private key from
                                        –---END CERTIFICATE----------BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----
                                        to
                                        -----END CERTIFICATE-----
                                        -----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----

                                        So you have to add the newline with enter key.

                                        Now works fine.

                                        This tip save my day!!! :D

                                        Thanks!!!!
