Did you try to connect to the server while capturing the debug output?

[krzd]

Even before I can connect:
Can't grab 0.0.0.0:21 with bind

[kilburn]

Sorry, can you rewrite your last message? I haven't understood it.... :S

[krzd]

The output of nc -l -p21 after starting is immediatly:
Can't grab 0.0.0.0:21 with bind.

//edit: oh, it's because i had proftpd running, ok nc stops without any output, while the ftp client stops with:
Status: Verbinde mit 84.23.64.192:21...
Status: Verbindung hergestellt, warte auf Willkommensnachricht...
Fehler: Zeitüberschreitung der Verbindung
Fehler: Herstellen der Verbindung zum Server fehlgeschlagen
Translation: connecting with 84.23.64.192:21; connection established, waiting for welcome message; connection time-out; establishing connection to the server failed

[kilburn]

So there's no connection issue (I've previously missed that in the ftp procotol the server "speaks first"). I think that we must be missing something in the proftpd log. Could I connect to your vserver through ssh to see if I catch something else? We can use "screen" if you want to follow what I'm doing

[krzd]

OK, do you have got an IM? So it would be very useful to use that.

//edit: Problem found, MySQL password is not correct (by regenerating config files i copied this from the old config). Also PMA says, that the PMA controluser can't connect.
//edit2: I set new passwords for both and now it works. Seems to be an error in auto-generating passwords.
