[SOLVED] proftpd is not even giving a welcome message

[FraggDieb]

When i try to connect to my Server, the proftpd debugger says

v1435.ncsrv.de (84.62.29.235[84.62.29.235]) - USER ftp@iw-hosting.de (Login fail ed): Invalid shell: '/home/www/virtual/iw-hosting.de'

User and Password are right

thanks! that was the problem. i used "autogenerate" in the installation script. there should be some prevention for this.

thanks!

PS: where can i change the vftp-password, so ispcp knows about the new password in case it creates new configfiles? ispcp.conf doesn't contain it.

edit:
@FraggDieb: add this 2 your proftpd.conf:

Quote:RequireValidShell off

Code:

/home/www/virtual/iw-hosting.de

This is not the default Path /home. Did you changed to this ?

No Problem!

We know about it and we try to change it.

It is only set in the proftpd.conf

youdomain.tdl/pma
Login with root and the Password of the root

Go to "rights" in german "Rechte" and change the password of the user vftp.

Change the news Passwort in the proftpd.conf

That was it

@BeNe: okay. that sounds fine. thanks again.

@FraggDieb: i know i did so ...just wanted to know, if i'd need to add the new password in some ispcp-config. gl with you problem.
the required shell-thingy i postet should work.

hm, this ain't a shell, maybe a homedir (if you use /home/www instead of /var/www/) - so, if this still is the case have a look in the database table ispcp.ftp_users and see if there the homedir and shell are in the right fields. If this is ok, then maybe the line

Code:

SQLUserInfo                             ftp_users userid passwd uid gid homedir shell

in proftpd is not correct...
