Pure FTPd not running

[andreasnrb]

First I followed the install instructions here:http://www.ispconfig.org/docs/INSTALL_UBUNTU_8.04.txt
I skipped myDNS since I don't need that.

My problem is I can't seem to get pure ftp to run.
ISPConfig says FTP-server is offline and this:

I've googled and googled but can't seem to find an answer.
Thx in advance.

Is this a vserver?

[andreasnrb]

if you by vserver mean VPS then yes.
Cant use the quota stuff on it, but I dont think lack of quota interferes with the FTP.
Could also add that ISPConfig says MySQL is not running but its running fine.
When I followed an instruction for ISPConfig 2 and used ProFTPd the FTP worked but couldn't login into it.

Then you most likely use a vps based on openvz or virtuozzo, some providers do not have capabilities enabled which causes pure-ftpd not to start. There are 2 options:

1) enable the capabilities (this has to be run on the host system and not within the vps):

VPSID=101
for CAP in CHOWN DAC_READ_SEARCH SETGID SETUID NET_BIND_SERVICE NET_ADMIN SYS_CHROOT SYS_NICE CHOWN DAC_READ_SEARCH SETGID SETUID NET_BIND_SERVICE NET_ADMIN SYS_CHROOT SYS_NICE
do
vzctl set $VPSID --capability ${CAP}:on --save
done


2) Recompile purefpt without capability support:

http://www.howtoforge.de/howto/pureftpd-ohne-capabilities-unter-debian-lenny-selbst-bauen/

These instructions are only available in german, but you might be able to follow them.

[andreasnrb]

Yeah they have OpenVZ
Thanks for solution, I can read german so no problem there.
Have to say I learn a lot trying to config nix setup.
Is it required to use Pure or could I use another FTP server instead?

[till]

Only pure-ftpd is supported.

[andreasnrb]

Ok thx.
Cant get apt-get source to work however. Only got two sources listed in my sources.list file.
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy main restricted universe
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy-updates main restricted universe

Which repository do I have to add to get apt-get source pure-ftpd to work?
[EDIT]
Nevermind found it =).

[andreasnrb]

Well seems I can't use that method.
After fixing all the dependency crap I get

Can't exec "debian/rules": Permission denied at /usr/bin/dpkg-buildpackage line 477.
dpkg-buildpackage: failure: debian/rules clean failed with unknown exit code -1

when running dpkg-buildpackage -uc -b

I have done chmod +x debian/rules but denial persists.

[andreasnrb]

It was a noexec so thats why the permission denied happened.
The german instructions worked.
Thx for the help Till.
