      Hi,

      I've been using ntopng comunity edition for one year now.

      We are running pfsesse on 2.4.5-RELEASE-p1 (amd64).

      I have performed an upgrade to the lastest release following this article :

      https://parkercs.tech/upgrading-ntopng-on-pfsense-to-latest-version/

      The upgrade did not success as espected, however even if deinstalling and reainstalling the standard comunity pachage, I am no able anymore to start ntopng services even if the standard package installed succesfully.

      I was wondering you could help me.

      Ivan

            That's the installation part - with no issues on the horizon.

            I installed ntopng.

            I saw during the install sequence :

            .....

Message from freetype2-2.10.1:

--
The 2.7.x series now uses the new subpixel hinting mode (V40 port's option) as
the default, emulating a modern version of ClearType. This change inevitably
leads to different rendering results, and you might change port's options to
adapt it to your taste (or use the new "FREETYPE_PROPERTIES" environment
variable).

The environment variable "FREETYPE_PROPERTIES" can be used to control the
driver properties. Example:

FREETYPE_PROPERTIES=truetype:interpreter-version=35 \
	cff:no-stem-darkening=1 \
	autofitter:warping=1

This allows to select, say, the subpixel hinting mode at runtime for a given
application.

If LONG_PCF_NAMES port's option was enabled, the PCF family names may include
the foundry and information whether they contain wide characters. For example,
"Sony Fixed" or "Misc Fixed Wide", instead of "Fixed". This can be disabled at
run time with using pcf:no-long-family-names property, if needed. Example:

FREETYPE_PROPERTIES=pcf:no-long-family-names=1

How to recreate fontconfig cache with using such environment variable,
if needed:
# env FREETYPE_PROPERTIES=pcf:no-long-family-names=1 fc-cache -fsv

The controllable properties are listed in the section "Controlling FreeType
Modules" in the reference's table of contents
(/usr/local/share/doc/freetype2/reference/site/index.html, if documentation was installed).

Message from ntopng-3.8.d20191111,1:

--
ntopng runs a web interface service by default, it is suggested to protect
such network accessible services with packet filters or TCP wrappers.

ntopng requires to connect to a redis server to work. Please install redis
server from databases/redis or use -r option via ntopng_flags to specify a
remote one.

ntopng supports IP geolocation, to enable this you should use the
ntopng-geoip2update.sh script to update the maxminddb geolocation
data to the latest version.

To pass a configuration file to ntopng, which overrides any command
line arguments, add something like the following to rc.conf:

ntopng_flags="/path/to/file.conf"

Message from redis-5.0.7_2:

To setup "redis" you need to edit the configuration file:
      /usr/local/etc/redis.conf

      To run redis from startup, add redis_enable="YES"
      in your /etc/rc.conf.
>>> Cleaning up cache... done.
Success
....

            Readings such thing makes me thing : "the right package for me !!" (hours of tinkering, trying settings, documentation, searching ahead.)
            If something needs to be done manually, I guess this forum should mention it - somewhere.

            I also saw this right afterwards in the logs :

            416bcd61-fd76-4e67-b03f-07e6c2627bae-image.png

            Did you saw these lines ?
            Dono what port "3000s" means.
            On my system, port "3000" (tcp ? udp ?) isn't used by any other process.

            The "remove package" works well ;)

              NTOP-NG has a web ui server that uses TCP 3000 as connect port
              I have no idea why they write 3000s

              If you find my answer useful - Please give the post a šŸ‘ - "thumbs up"

                I know.
                The errors in the log are very clear.
                It's TCP - as a part of the NTOP thing uses its own web server.

                But if the literal "3000s" which is not an integer, was used as a port number then I can understand the listen(3000) fails.
                I hope it's a wrong setting, somewhere in a config file - or even in the pfSense GUI => NTOP settngs.

                The "3000s" - the s part, is probably a formatting error while writing the error text string

                  Hi,

                  I can't see any setting related to 3000s under pfSense GUI = NTOP settings. However I was wonder if you could provide me the NTOPNG file setting with I could look into to check whether or not there is a wrong configuration regading related port.

                    I'm not using NTOPNG myself as I have no use for it @work.
                    I could install it at my @home pfSense and see what's up - but for that I have to get home first. A rare thing these days.

                      Hi Gertjan,

                      please consider that I can't see any of the error logs you provide me in some previous reply . Once I try to start service, I can't receive any arror at all on the system log file.
