problem with proftpd 1.2.10 installation

[Pulkvedis]

Hi!

I download proftpd 1.2.10 and tray to install it...
when i write comand "make"
it's say "make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop."

What i do wrong?

[Leszek]

Did You run:

./configure

first ?

[Pulkvedis]

yes i run it a the write

linux:~/proftpd-1.2.10 # ./configure
checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
checking host system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
checking target system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
checking for gcc... no
checking for cc... no
checking for cc... no
checking for cl... no
configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH
See `config.log' for more details.

OK i find a problem. I install gcc pack and now it's ok ;)

[Leszek]

You don't have any C compilers installed.
You need to install gcc.

[Pulkvedis]

yes i install it now.

and next problem: How can i start this server?

[Leszek]

I depends on Your distribution.
For example in Debian:


/etc/init.d/proftpd start

It is similar in different distributions.

[Pulkvedis]

yes i tray but result ir bad :(

linux:~ # /etc/init.d/proftpd start
Starting ProFTPD Server: failed

how i understand this file "proftpd" in this init.d. directory i must create my self manualy yes? first time when i create it un tray start server result was:

linux:~ # /etc/init.d/proftpd start
bash: /etc/init.d/proftpd: Permission denied

then i in permission check field execuatable i do wrong?

[Leszek]

This file should be created automatically and must be exacutable.

chmod u+x /etc/init.d/proftpd

[Pulkvedis]

linux:/ # chmod u+x /etc/init.d/proftpd
chmod: cannot access `/etc/init.d/proftpd': No such file or directory

what now?

[Leszek]

My /etc/init.d/proftpd looks like this:


#!/bin/sh

# Start the proftpd FTP daemon.

PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin
DAEMON=/usr/sbin/proftpd
NAME=proftpd

then
PIDFILE=/var/run/proftpd.pid

Maybe You can find this file in the directory where You unpacked Proftp to compile and install it ? Then You should copy it in the right place (/etc/init.d/).

[Pulkvedis]

yes thanks now its works. i just copy this proftpd file from this folder where i extract it to init.d and now its work. TNX very much ;)

[Leszek]

Your welcome :)
