And yes, mysql is working. pure-ftpd tries to access database with 'root' user, while it should be using 'ispconfig'?

I don't know what else to do, reinstalling doesn't seems to change anything.

Please help,

Thanks!

THE SOLUTION:
pkill pure-ftpd
configure your /etc/pure-ftpd/db/mysql.conf .. already head
/etc/init.d/pure-ftpd-mysql start

and connect your server via FTP
