Hello Peter,

I am not sure if it's a typo or if it's the real file name, but shouldn't "ntop.start" be "ntopng.start"?

I've followed the instructions in the nprobe manual to get it running as a daemon on system start, but I can't get ntopng to do the same thing.

I've got /etc/ntopng/ntopng.conf configured, and it works ok if I run sudo ntopng /etc/ntopng/ntopng.conf.

/etc/ntopng/ntop.start exists, but ntopng doesn't start on boot. What's wrong?

Here's the ntopng.conf file contents:

-G=/var/run/ntopng.pid
--daemon=
-i=tcp://192.168.0.222:2055
-w=3050
-F="mysql;localhost;ntopng;flows;root;admin"
--local-networks="192.168.0.0/23,192.168.2.0/24,192.168.3.0/24,192.168.6.0/24,192.168.7.0/24,192.168.30.0/24,192.168.60.0/24,192.168.32.0/24,192.168.62.0/24,192.168.33.0/24,192.168.63.0/24,192.168.37.0/24,192.168.67.0/24"

Yes, just a typo!

I've now found that I should look in /var/log/syslog for clues about why ntopng won't autostart on boot. I found entries like this:
ntopng[1134]: * Starting ntopng
ntopng: [MySQLDB.cpp:624] ERROR: Failed to connect to MySQL: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2) [localhost:root]
ntopng: [MySQLDB.cpp:624] ERROR: Failed to connect to MySQL: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2) [localhost:root]
ntopng: [MySQLDB.cpp:78] ERROR: Unable to connect: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)
ntopng: [main.cpp:279] ERROR: Unable to create database schema, quitting.
ntopng[1134]: ...done.
root: ntopng stop
ntopng[1516]: * Stopping ntopng

I assumed that meant that it couldn't start because mysql hadn't started yet, so I altered /etc/init.d/ntopng to add mysqld to this line:
# Required-Start: $local_fs $remote_fs $network $syslog $pf_ring mysqld

I'm no longer getting the mysql errors in the log, but it's still not starting. Now I just get these entries:
root: ntopng start
ntopng[1130]: * Starting ntopng
ntopng[1130]: * Unable to start ntopng
ntopng[1130]: ...fail!
(There are other non ntopng entries I haven't shown among those.)

Running /etc/init.d/ntopng start after bootup works fine. What else can I try to diagnose this?
