ntop 3.0 in daemon mode not working

[matt virus]

Installed ntop 3.0 today, edited the ntop.sh shell script and when I run 
the script ntop launches and I can connect to the webserver interface. 
The frame cross the top loads, but when I click ANY link to look at the 
reports, i get a popup window that is blank.

Ntop load --> top frame only loads -> click link -> new blank window 
pops up.


Now -- if i just run  /usr/local/bin/ntop  (via a ssh session)
ntop runs in interactive mode -- perfectly

I thought "a ha, that shellscript is just messed up"

so i run ntop with this:

/usr/local/bin/ntop -d    (as a daemon)

and i get the same behavior as the shellscript - blank windows and empty 
new windows.

Revert to  /usr/local/bin/ntop  (interactive)
and it works perfectly again

Anybody have suggestions???
