NTOP configuration [Solved]

Resolved

I'm in need of some help. I've installed ntop per the instructions listed at

http://www.clearfoundation.com/docs/howtos/bandwidth_reporting_with_ntop

I'm running ClearOS Community release 6.5.0 (Final)

The install went as I'd expect, but I can't browse to ntop's interface.

Per thread at http://www.clearfoundation.com/component/option,com_kunena/Itemid,232/catid,40/func,view/id,63158/
the output of netstat -ntlp | grep ntop is...
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:3000 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 2310/ntop
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:3001 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 2310/ntop

Browsing to the server's IP on port 3000 just times out on every browser on multiple machines. Tried opening the port in the firewall just for fun; no change. No proxy involved.

I'm confused and clueless. May I request suggestions?

Thanks, Tim. You were absolutely right. I'm a newb.

For reference, after correcting the configuration, I received the "Please enable make sure that the ntop html/ directory is properly installed" error referenced at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ntop#Please_enable_make_sure_that_the_ntop_html.2F_directory_is_properly_installed

This was on Firefox 34, but switching to IE made it viewable. Oh well, I needed IETab for other things anyway.

Thanks a bunch, Tim! I'm off to beg for help on another subject.

I think you have to specify which interface it will listen on, edit /etc/ntop.conf and change the following line with your local IP. Or comment it out so that it listens on all interfaces

--http-server 127.0.0.1:3000 --https-server 127.0.0.1:3001
