So it's not listening on port 21.
pure-ftpd-control start doesn't do anything. There's no obvious errors in any logs, no mention of pureftp in syslog or messages...

Is this a vserver?

[ilja]

yes it is, debian lenny

[till]

I guess you installed debian updates too and not just a ispconfig update. Your problem is that the debian update installed a pure-ftpd version with capabilities enabled and this is incompatible with the vserver solution (openvz or virtuozzo) that is used on your server.

Please recompile pure-ftpd as you did initially as you installed the server.

Hi till,
I reinstalled as tutorial says again and now I have this problem:

Status: Connecting to 12.43.x.x:21...
Status: Connection established, waiting for welcome message...
Error: Connection timed out
Error: Could not connect to server
Status: Waiting to retry...

Thanks,
tony

Please enable debugging in pure-ftpd and post the lines from the log file.

You have to disable name resolving in pure-ftpd:

Fixed,
Thanks,

I have the same problem as the first post.

But I don't understand what you mean with "Please recompile pure-ftpd as you did initially as you installed the server."

I'm using Ubuntu 9.10.

Could my problem be the same?

Please make always a new thread as in almost all cases, the reason for your problem is not the same. And include a detailed error description and the error messages from the mail log file in your new thread.
