error messages after ispconfig_server start

[guidovanh]

I reformatted and reinstalled Linux (SuSE X) and ISPConfig 220.
After setting up one of my websites and starting ispconfig_server start, I see a long error message:

Every 30 minutes I receive a mail notification:

What do I have to do to solve this problems?

This happens because you're still in the install_ispconfig directory which doesn't exist anymore. Go to another directory, and you'll see the warnings are gone. :)

Is your FTP server running? Please post the output of netstat -tap

Which FTP daemon have you installed, proftpd?

Please try to run:

/etc/init.d/proftpd start

[guidovanh]

Which FTP daemon have you installed, proftpd?

Please try to run:

/etc/init.d/proftpd start

When I installed ISPConfig, the setup tells me that it had found an FTP daemon. I remember the name vsftpd. But I am not sure. Where can I find this?

[falko]

Does the file /etc/xinetd.d/vsftp exist? What's in it?

[guidovanh]

Does the file /etc/xinetd.d/vsftp exist? What's in it?
No, in /etc/xinetd.d/ is no file vsftp or something similar.

[falko]

Does /etc/init.d/vsftp or /etc/init.d/vsftpd exist?

[guidovanh]

Does /etc/init.d/vsftp or /etc/init.d/vsftpd exist?
No, in /etc/init.d is neither vsftp nor vsftpd.
Maybe vsftpd is not installed?? Why does ISPConfig setup say that it found vsftpd? :)

[guidovanh]

No, in /etc/init.d is neither vsftp nor vsftpd.
Maybe vsftpd is not installed?? Why does ISPConfig setup say that it found vsftpd? :)
When I start YaST and search for ftp, YaST will find vsftpd installed yet (it is marked).
What do I have to do now?

[guidovanh]

When I start to search ftp, vsftpd is found in /etc/pam.d
/etc/pam.d/vsftpd start results in a "Access denied".

Please post the output of ls -la /etc/xinetd.d/

I suggest you remove vsftpd with yast and install ProFTPd, as described here: http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_setup_suse_10.0_p5
Afterwards, please check the settings in ISPConfig: Managmement -> Server -> Settings -> FTP.

In the given document I read to add some lines for security reasons. Did I have to do that? After the command
/etc/init.d/proftpd start I stopped.

I think /etc/init.d/proftpd is the config file which I have to put into the settings of ISPConfig, isn't it?

They are optional, but they don't hurt. ;)

Where do I have to define the users who may use FTP for their website? In ISPConfig or in the FTP program?

Add an (email) user in ISPConfig. If the administrator checkbox is activated the user will have FTP access to the complete website. Then use this username and password in your FTP client.

I am sorry, but I don't understand it.
On website www.domain.com I created a user with the administrator checkbox activated.
What are the correct settings for the FTP client? ftp.domain.com ?? or IP-address?

[till]

Either you use your domain domain.com or www.domain.com or the IP address. If you want to use ftp.domain.com, dont forget to make a DNS A-Record for ftp.domain.com pointing to your server IP.

[guidovanh]

sorry, duplicate posted. So I erased it now.
