[Ntop-dev] ntop error when starting

Sat Jun 24 21:55:01 CEST 2006

How about providing a few snips of info?  See the FAQ for "How To Ask for
Help"...

Your real problem is this:

Tue Jun 13 11:08:25 2006  **ERROR** INITWEB: binding problem - 'Address
already in use'(98)
Tue Jun 13 11:08:25 2006  Check if another instance of ntop is running 
Tue Jun 13 11:08:25 2006  or if the current user (-u) can bind to the
specified port 
Tue Jun 13 11:08:25 2006  **FATAL_ERROR** Binding problem, ntop shutting
down...

But still, we need the diag info to figure out why it's not shutting down
cleanly...

Subject: [Ntop-dev] ntop error when starting

hey all,

When I run ntop I receive this error -

Tue Jun 13 11:08:25 2006  CLEANUP: Freeing device eth0 (idx=0)
*** glibc detected *** free(): invalid pointer: 0x080ddc94 *** Aborted

I tried to search around seeing if anyone else has gotten this error but I
havn't found any information.  Any help would be appretiated.  Here is the
complete log for ntop -
