Please use proftpd-1.3.1 instead of proftpd-1.3.1rc3.

Ah, ok. Till reported the same problem on OpenSUSE 11. I think he used vsftpd instead. We'll publish the "Perfect Server" for OpenSUSE 11 in a few days.

Hello,

I have exactly the same problem.
I also tried to compile the unstable version of proftpd (1.3.2rc1) but it also failed a bit farther in the make.

For information :
srv-web:/tmp/proftpd-1.3.2rc1 # make
cd lib/ && make lib
make[1]: Entering directory `/tmp/proftpd-1.3.2rc1/lib'

Since there is no available yast package for proftpd i am really annoyed.
I'm blocked with my ISPConfig's installation if you have a hint even before the release of the new Perfect Server OpenSuse 11.
I'm interested in any suggestion.
By the way thanks for the very helpful Perfect Server OpenSuse 10.3 tutorial.

Regards,

ISPConfig doesn't support SUSE 11 yet; a new ISPConfig version (suuporting SUSE 11) will be released in a few days, and then we will as well publish the Perfect Server for OpenSUSE 11.

[valter]

Hi,

I have the same problem. The proftpd installation is the same as on SuSE 10.3, so nothing is changed. Any help would be appreciated as we are stuck on Proftpd installation...

Hello,

You can install the new version 1.3.2rc1.
It works on both OpenSuse 10.3 and 11.0 but to compile it you need to first install libcap and libcap-devel.

By the way, the new OpenSuse 11 perfect server setup (http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-opensuse11-p5) mention to use this 1.3.2rc1 version of proftpd
