FTP not working

[marcuz]

Hi,

I have reinstalled ispCPOmega 3 times and still the same. When creating FTP users and trying to connect it, it always ends up in "unable to retrieve directory listing."

I re-installed ispCPOmega fresh this time and I saw this.
Followed all steps and this occur in step 4.

Code:

aptitude install $(cat ./docs/Debian/debian-packages-`lsb_release -cs`)

Code:

Setting up proftpd-basic (1.3.3a-6squeeze4) ...
grep: /etc/inetd.conf: No such file or directory

I am using debian 6 32bit in a xen platform with 512ram.
I am thinking that this part has something to do about this situation..

Code:

Warning: The home dir /var/run/proftpd you specified can't be accessed: No such file or directory
Adding system user `proftpd' (UID 108) ...
Adding new user `proftpd' (UID 108) with group `nogroup' ...

`/usr/share/proftpd/templates/welcome.msg' -> `/home/ftp/welcome.msg.proftpd-new'
Starting ftp server: proftpd.

But I do not know how to solve it.

Thanks for your help!

What about your configuration ?
IspCP configured the proftpd. Did you remove the config files or did you install proftpd after installing ispCP or what happened there ?

[marcuz]

clean install and nothing taken out.

trying to re install it this time and inserted

Code:

#apt-get install proftpd

before step 2

update!!!

just completed step 4 and this is what I got this time:

Code:

Starting postfix greylisting daemon: postgrey.
Setting up proftpd-mod-mysql (1.3.3a-6squeeze4) ...
Setting up rkhunter (1.3.6-4) ...
[ Rootkit Hunter version 1.3.6 ]
File created: searched for 161 files, found 126
Setting up sasl2-bin (2.1.23.dfsg1-7) ...
update-rc.d: warning: saslauthd stop runlevel arguments (0 1 6) do not match LSB Default-Stop values (1)
To enable saslauthd, edit /etc/default/saslauthd and set START=yes ... (warning).

cross fingers and doing the entire process now.


update!!!

just finished all steps and so far so good. no error or warning.

hm not exactly what i meant .. anyway. Linux != Windows. You can fix things in here most of the time without reinstalling everything...

[marcuz]

at the end still the same.

I have not any update with proftpd or in any conf files

Problems with ftp need the following:

stop proftpd
run proftpd with the following command
proftpd -n -d 5
(you can choose a higher loglevel than 5, the -n makes that you see the log directly on the screen...)

then try to connect... and then tell us what's written o the screen when you get the "unable to retireve directory listing"....

/J

[marcuz]
