Good day to you...you would normally initiate first time it from a command line prompt (since you need to manually offer the admin
password)
 
"When ntop is installed at the first time, you MUST set the administration

password for ntop (user 'admin'). You do that by running ntop with the option

-A (or --set-admin-password) as root.



# ntop --set-admin-password



It will prompt you for the password and then exit. Now start the ntop

daemon.



# /etc/init.d/ntop start



Note that you can not run ntop as a user as it need full access to the

devices and only root have such access. After it has got that access it

will change user to ntop or whatever you have configured it to. You have

to make sure that the user have access files in /var/lib/ntop. This is

normally fixed by the installation script but it may fail.



Ntop will be started at every reboot when the admin password has been set."


 
Once it's started then you can configure it using the web interface.
 
i normally move it to non 3000/3001 unless you have a strong firewall and also run ssl mode (remember to open that/those ports)
