FTP-Server: Offline

After installing ISPConfig on my SuSE 9.0 with
Apache2
ProFTP - standalone
postfix
Courier-...
Everything works perfekt except of FTP server... it works but not from ISPConfig and is reported offline in services.

Have tryed to add

Code:

SocketBindTight on

but it din't help. It now restarts with the following messages:

Code:

Shutting down ProFTPD Server:                                                                               done

Starting ProFTPD Server:  - warning: "ProFTPD" address/port (192.168.0.100:21) already in use by "ProFTPD Default Installation"

{my_url}.com - SocketBindTight in effect, ignoring DefaultServer

                                                                                                            done

Code:

netstat -tap | grep ftp

follows:

Code:

tcp        0      0 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:21       0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      19100/proftpd: (acc

tcp        0      0 192.168.0.100:21        0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      19100/proftpd: (acc

As I can see, it's not listenning on localhost, could that be a problem?
If yes, how to fix my config files?

Please add

Code:

<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1>

        DefaultRoot             ~

        AllowOverwrite          on

        Umask                   002

</VirtualHost>

to /etc/proftpd.conf, right before

Code:

Include /etc/proftpd_ispconfig.conf

and restart ProFTPd.

Done and my ProFTPd is now listenning on localhost, but (after proftpd restart):

1. Error message on restart stays

Code:

Shutting down ProFTPD Server:                                                                               done

Starting ProFTPD Server:  - warning: "ProFTPD" address/port (192.168.0.100:21) already in use by "ProFTPD Default Installation"

{my_url}.com - SocketBindTight in effect, ignoring DefaultServer

2. ISPConfig still reports service FTP-Server: Offline

--edited: first line - changed "is not listenning" to "is now listenning" - was my terrible misstake :(

What does /etc/proftpd.conf look like right now?

Code:

# This is a basic ProFTPD configuration file (rename it to

# 'proftpd.conf' for actual use.  It establishes a single server

# and a single anonymous login.  It assumes that you have a user/group

# "nobody" and "ftp" for normal operation and anon.

Include /etc/proftpd_ispconfig.conf

--edit: added "Include /etc/proftpd_ispconfig.conf" line (I messed it while coppying)

Why's the

Code:

Include /etc/proftpd_ispconfig.conf

line missing at the end?

oops...
it is there, I just missed it on copy/paste...
still need suggestions on my problem.

What does

Code:

netstat -tap

look like now?

ProFTPd is running on localhost. Is ISPConfig still showing FTP as offline?
