[RESOLVED] Problem in using ftp_choose_dir.php with CentOS 5.4, PHP 5.2.11

[Nuxwin]

Hello motokochan ;

No, it's not a problem with PHP5.3.

Code:

[root@ispcp etc]# php -v
PHP 5.1.6 (cli) (built: Apr  7 2009 08:00:04)
Copyright (c) 1997-2006 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v2.1.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2006 Zend Technologies
[root@ispcp etc]#

For testing, I performed a fresh install of Centos 5.4 in strict compliance with the procedure described in the howto comes with ispCP and the same hostname as rexsham for the panel access.

As I could reproduce the error, I will now correct the problem.

   

EDIT:

I found the source of the problem.

That is just an FTP authentication issue due to a mistakes in the proftpd configuration file. To fix it, edit your "/etc/proftpd.conf" and change the line:

Code:

AuthOrder                  mod_sql.c mod_auth_pam.c* mod_auth_unix.c

To

Code:

AuthOrder                  mod_sql.c mod_auth_pam.c mod_auth_unix.c

Note: Here, we are simply removed the asterisk (*) after the module name because ispCP dot use PAM. So, the module "mod_auth_pam.c" should not be authoritative. See http://www.proftpd.org/docs/directives/l...Order.html for more information about this issue.

And then, restart your Proftpd server:

Code:

# /etc/init.d/proftpd/restart

Note: For the record : The fact that the template variable is not be replaced does not come from a PHP error. It is simply because when the FTP authentication fails ( I will not go into the details here ), the script stops before the variable is replaced.
