Tutorial: The Perfect Server – Ubuntu 11.10 [ISPConfig 3] pureftpd issue

[madlars]

Hello,
when I try the "/etc/init.d/pure-ftpd-mysql restart" command
I get this error message: "Starting ftp server: /usr/sbin/pure-ftpd-wrapper: invalid configuration file /etc/pure-ftpd/conf/tls: No corresponding directive"

It's driving me insane I've been trying to figure it out all day.
for as far as I can tell I did it exactly as in the guide.

CHEERS! Lars.

What are the results when you run as root: cat /etc/pure-ftpd/conf/TLS

I followed the instructions in Step 16 ("Install PureFTPd") of "The Perfect Server - CentOS 6.2 x86_64 With Apache2 [ISPConfig 3]" and have confirmed that PureFTPd is working correctly:

[eric@ispconfig-1 ~]$ grep -B1 -A2 -i tls /etc/pure-ftpd/pure-ftpd.conf 
# This option can accept three values :
# 0 : disable SSL/TLS encryption layer (default).
# 1 : accept both traditional and encrypted sessions.
# 2 : refuse connections that don't use SSL/TLS security mechanisms,
#     including anonymous sessions.
# Do _not_ uncomment this blindly. Be sure that :
# 1) Your server has been compiled with SSL/TLS support (--with-tls),
# 2) A valid certificate is in place,
# 3) Only compatible clients will log in.

TLS                      1

[eric@ispconfig-1 ~]$ sudo /etc/init.d/pure-ftpd restart
Stopping pure-ftpd:                                        [  OK  ]
Starting pure-ftpd:                                        [  OK  ]

[eric@ispconfig-1 ~]$ sudo /etc/init.d/pure-ftpd status
pure-ftpd (pid  1888) is running...

Please include the relevant portion of the PureFTPd configuration file.

If I run that command it says it could not find the file.
If i run it without the "cat" on the command it says :
bash: /etc/pure-ftpd/conf/TLS : Toegang geweigerd <<means access denied.

Ok I will try those instructions, how do i get to the configuration file?

Sorry - I just realized that there is a fundamental difference between the way that Ubuntu/Debian packages PureFTPd+MySQL and the way that Centos/RH packages PureFTPd+MySQL:

1. There is no pure-ftpd-mysql init script in Centos/RH, and;
2. There is no pureftpd-wrapper script in Centos/RH.

Yes, the instructions you followed are somewhat the same, but just the part im having trouble with is different from your version.

The first command will produce more concise output. The second command requires less typing:

grep -B1 -A2 -i tls /etc/pure-ftpd/pure-ftpd.conf

...or...

cat /etc/pure-ftpd/pure-ftpd.conf

same message as before "file or folder does not exist"

Sorry - I should have adjusted for the Ubuntu/Debian way of doing things.

Please include the directory listings of /etc/pure-ftpd/ & /etc/pure-ftpd/conf and the contents of the files /etc/pure-ftpd/conf/pure-ftpd.conf & /etc/pure-ftpd/conf/TLS.
