Install on CentOS 6.5

[David Taylor]

Just wondering if anyone has had some luck installing FlowViewer 4.3 on Centos 6.X with Silk.

The guide I've followed is for a much older version of FlowTools though I haven't had much luck finding a better one. http://titdara.wordpress.com/2010/12/20/install-netflow-on-centos/

As it stands when I attempt to run ./flowtracker_restart start

I get a lot of errors, at first I thought it might have been a typo in my config however I got the same with the default config as well.

----------Error sample -------------------
[root@lsflow01 tools]# ./flowtracker_restart start

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi David,

It sure looks like a minor error in mods to the config file. Can you post your FlowViewer_Configuration.pm file, or look closely at the modifications to your @ipfix_devices, etc. around line 96?

HI Joe,
Firstly thanks for getting back so quickly. As it stands I've resolved the issue with a rebuild as per the instructions I linked to and it worked correctly so I'm guessing a typo on my behalf.
