I had the same problem. I think it have something to do with cookies because the page show up when I'm using
lynx or a browser without cookies. Since few people have this bug, I guess it's because we have cookies for the
ntop server domain. I also have the same problem with the lastest Debian package but I have not test the lastest
upstream version.

had the same problem when visiting http://localhost:3000 - was able to work around it by going to http://127.0.0.1:3000
