FTP-Server: Offline

[sandman_ua]

Yes

P.S. and is it ISPConfig sending me an e-mail every half an hour with this context:

To: root@xxxx
Subject: WARNING: services not running
From: root@xxx (root)

Warning: service ftpd not running (server: moria)!

The same problem persists for me. As we already discussed in this thread.

Even after "SocketBindTight on" and adding Localhost manually to proftpd.conf, FTP Service shows "offline" and WebFTP doesn't work. Client FTP works without problems

Falko, if you want to look for yourself, just let me know.
I made a clean install today (again ) and can give you full root access.

Evaluating further I'm now almost sure, that this is not a proftpd problem.

On my local machine I also get the start-message
warning: "ProFTPD" address/port (192.168.0.123:21) already in use by "Debian"
but in ISPconfig the Service is online and connection with WebFTP is possible.


When I run proftpd in debug mode (proftpd -nd6) and connect through WebFTP, the local server gives me a bunch of messages of this type:
athena.myhost.tld (localhost.localdomain[127.0.0.1]) - dispatching auth request "getpwnam" to module ...

On the problem server I get not a single message, when I try to connect with WebFTP. The proftpd server is simply not reached, even though he's listening on his IP and on localhost

If you don't need anonymous FTP, you can simply uncomment the line

Include /etc/proftpd_ispconfig.conf

in /etc/proftpd.conf and restart Proftpd. Is it working then?

[sandman_ua]

sorry I just can't get the meening of your post....
could you explain?
(I have "Include /etc/proftpd_ispconfig.conf" in my proftpd.conf file and uncommenced)

[falko]

Sorry, I meant, comment it out:

# Include /etc/proftpd_ispconfig.conf

[till]

Falko meaned this:

Replace the line:

Include /etc/proftpd_ispconfig.conf

with:

# Include /etc/proftpd_ispconfig.conf

in your proftpd.conf file. Then execute:

/etc/init.d/proftpd restart

[Raffnix]

Solved ! ! !

Sorry for that ...

At least for my behalf it seems, that the problem is solved:

As I said, it was not a problem of proftpd nor it's configuration.

In my hosts-File, the part

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts

read instead

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1 localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts

(this was created by that Debian Image I started from)

Since I removed the "localhost", FTP is "online" and WebFTP is working.

Right before, I found another workaround for the "Offline"-Problem:
I changed the check_FTP in the check_services and check_services_adm Plugins from "localhost" to "127.0.0.1" and from then FTP was online and the server was maneagable from within the interface. Maybe this helps out, if someone else's problem is not located in the hosts-File
