Use the cvs. ONLY the cvs.
Any belief that you have a working copy from snapshot means you have a very
old piece of crap, because that's the last time snapshot's files were NOT
corrupt: 19June2003....

Ok I get it.. But i do infact have a running copy of ntop from the
snapshot. The official version does not work for me on on slackware so I

As usual, entries are in no particular sequence. However, there is an
overall flow, starting with very general questions, then questions about
specific features, then questions about specific platforms.
What structure there is in this FAQ is that of a dialog with a bright 7
year
old. The response to every answer is "Why". Keep reading until you get
too detailed for your needs.
If you actually read through this FAQ and don't find yourself saying
"Oh,
Bother", at least twice, and then go read Winnie the Pooh.
At the very end are "HowTo Ask For Help" and a "GDB ultraMini-tutorial".
Read them. Before posting to the mailing list.
Note that some of this FAQ is based on the entries people have
contributed
to the community FAQ at http://snapshot.ntop.org. Lots more are based
on
messages to the ntop and ntop-dev mailing lists.
Post 2.3 release entries will have a author/date stamp, at the end:

Q. Where can I find ntop?
A. The official website can be found at http://www.ntop.org/.
Q. Where do I get the source?

I don't know about you but when i read the question what is a snapshot
i don't think to myself "hmm, i wonder if the diffinition for a snapshot has
changed, i better read that".. Thats just me..
</joke>
A great idea would be to put it in the readme file.. most people at
least take a look there.

BROKEN, INCOMPLETE, UNUSABLE - you pick the work... It's already there in
docs/FAQ:Q. What is "a snapshot" or "the snapshots"?A. A snapshot is a dump
of the ntop cvs structure, automatically generated every day at 5 minutes
after midnight (Pisa time). Snapshots are named with their creation date,
in the form of ntop-yy-mm-dd.tgz. Snapshots are neither polished nor
even "releases". They contain any update(s) checked into the cvs during
the prior day. No more, no less. cvs checkins (commits) are usually
tested by the developer, but perhaps only in one (limited) environment.
Occasionally a file is missed or a typo occurs and a snapshot won't
compile. Snapshots frequently introduce bugs that aren't apparent on a
quick review. Snapshots are basically a point-in-time capture of the
moving development environment. No more and no less. With release 2.2,
rapid development occurred after general release and using the latest
snapshot was your best bet. With 2.3 we will release incremental versions
(e.g. 2.3a) if necessary. If the 2.3 release doesn't work, drop by the
mailing lists and check the back traffic to see if this is a common
problem. If it's not, try the latest snapshot or ask for a recommendation
of which version is the best to use. Unfortunately, with release 2.3, we
will added a branch to allow for 2.3a/b/c releases while 2.4 is being
developed (2.3.1, 2.2.2, etc.). Note that the ntop_2_2_patches branch
broke the snapshot extract script, so snapshots ARE NO LONGER RECOMENDED
OR SUPPORTED. I can add it up front in docs/FAQ, and make it a little more
explicit, but there's not much else I can do. -----Burton -----Original

hahahah.. you sound mad.. relax everybody makes mistakes.. also i
did see that but i already have a running copy of it.. remember not
everybody is using a frame based browser on there server. Since that is were
I downloaded it from it could only see one frame and selected download.
Today, I saw the message when i was sitting at my pc. Since the message was
about curruption and the tarball i had was not currupt then i figured i
would use it. Pherhaps you could pick a better word then corruption, that
way people who have a tarball already and it passed a crc check will not
assume they got a good copy of it.
Later, Ben

Snapshot? If you're not using a file from
http://snapshot.ntop.org, then tell us where & how you obtained ntop, what
version, etc..
If you ARE using a file from http://snapshot.ntop.org, then
<FLAME>
If you had read the news on the front page of that site, or
looked at the checkout log, you would have seen that there are ERRORS in the
checkout.
I've said it MANY, MANY times, INCLUDING THIS FRONT PAGE NEWS
ITEM AT http://snapshot.ntop.org:
09/07 2003 Don't use the snapshot (tgz) files
They seem to be corrupt again. If you're interested in the
bleeding edge development, then 1) join and read ntop-dev mailing list and
2) use the cvs checkout directly. I'm sorry, but I can no longer recommend
using these snapshots - there are too many problems with changes in the cvs
tree corrupting Nicolai's automated process. Please, PLEASE, continue to
post FAQ items. -----Burton
So, once more for everyone, loudly and in red (for those reading
this in html):
DO NOT
(under ANY circumstances)
USE THE SOURCE FILES FROM http://snapshot.ntop.org!!!!!
</FLAME>

automatically generated every<BR> day at 5 minutes after midnight (Pisa \
time).</FONT></SPAN></PRE><PRE><SPAN class=578183915-24102003><FONT face=Arial \

class=578183915-24102003><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2> Snapshots \
are neither polished nor even "releases". They contain any<BR> update(s) \
checked into the cvs during the prior day. No more, no \
less.</FONT></SPAN></PRE><PRE><SPAN class=578183915-24102003><FONT face=Arial \
color=#0000ff size=2> cvs checkins (commits) are usually tested by the \
developer, but perhaps only<BR> in one (limited) environment. \
Occasionally a file is missed or a typo occurs<BR> and a snapshot won't \
compile. Snapshots frequently introduce bugs that aren't<BR> apparent on \
a quick review. Snapshots are basically a point-in-time capture<BR> \
of the moving development environment. No more and no \
less.</FONT></SPAN></PRE><PRE><SPAN class=578183915-24102003><FONT face=Arial \
color=#0000ff size=2> With release 2.2, rapid development occurred after \
general release and using<BR> the latest snapshot was your best bet. With \
2.3 we will release incremental<BR> versions (e.g. 2.3a) if \
necessary.</FONT></SPAN></PRE><PRE><SPAN class=578183915-24102003><FONT face=Arial \

mailing lists and check the back<BR> traffic to see if this is a common \
problem. If it's not, try the latest<BR> snapshot or ask for a \
recommendation of which version is the best to use.</FONT></SPAN></PRE><PRE><SPAN \
class=578183915-24102003><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2> \
Unfortunately, with release 2.3, we will added a branch to allow for \

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>hahahah.. you sound mad.. relax everybody
makes mistakes.. also i did see that but i already have a running copy
of it.. remember not everybody is using a frame based browser on there
server. Since that is were I downloaded it from it could only see one
frame and selected download. Today, I saw the message when i was
sitting at my pc. Since the message was about curruption and the
tarball i had was not currupt then i figured i would use it. Pherhaps
you could pick a better word then corruption, that way people who have
a tarball already and it passed a crc check will not assume they got a
good copy of it. </FONT></DIV>
