      Hi all,

      I'm new to pfSense and it's my first post ;)

      I installed a pfSense (1.2.3) for my company using a multiwan connection and I have the same problem. Ntop die quickly. I tried to remove "bandwidthd" and reinstall ntop package, but it doesn't work.

      I try the chmod/chown method, but it doesn't work neither.

      But, perhaps I found something, in the webgui, when you start ntop, you can select the interface to scan. If I select the 3 (2 wan, 1 lan), there's the problem, ntop die. But when I select only the 2 wan, or when I select only the lan, it seems that ntop doesn't crash (usually ntop crash before 10 minutes, with that configuration ntop doesn't crash in one hour).

      So, If someone have an idea to solve that in another way …

      Cheers.

      Gilles.

        why do you want Ntop running on the WAN???
        LAN should have all the info you need

          @jimp:

          I committed a fix for the permissions to the ntop package just now, but I didn't do a version bump yet. If it turns out to work for everyone, I may do that just to signal to people there has been a change.

          There were commands in there before that should have fixed the permissions, but the command wasn't specified with the full path so it may have been failing. I'd be curious if anyone who is experiencing the crashes would try to reinstall the ntop now (or rather about 5 minutes from the time of this post to be sure the commit is live on the package server).

          I have one server I will be trying this one, where ntop would die quite often.

          jimp

          do you know if your fix is in the a new ntop package yet???

          Thanks

            That post is from almost a year ago, and it was committed at the time I posted the message. If you have problems, please start a new thread instead of hijacking a thread that has been dead for many months.
