I have the same problem...

Unfortunately it still exists.

I installed Debian 3.1 (Perfect Setup Howto) and ISPconfig yesterday on a local server from zero - Result: FTP online, connection with client and WebFTP possible
I installed the same today on my production server (again), where I start with a minimal Debian 3.1 Image and continue then too with Perfect Setup Howto - Result: FTP offline, connection with client possible, with WebFTP: "Could not connect to localhost."

You already have

SocketBindTight on

in your /etc/proftpd.conf, right?
Can you add this:

<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1>
        DefaultRoot             ~
        AllowOverwrite          on
        Umask                   002
</VirtualHost>

right before

Include /etc/proftpd_ispconfig.conf

and restart ProFTPd?

Thanks, but:

I added the lines, I stopped proftpd (netstat showed no more ftp running), then I restarted ISPconfig_server which itself started proftpd (netstat now showed ftp listening on both: domain and localhost) ...
but WebFTP still could not connect to localhost *sigh*

Do you see any error messages in the log files when you try to connect with Web-FTP?

I managed to stolve my similar problem by adding this directive to my proftpd.conf or proftpd_ispconfig.conf file (in the server section)

Bind localhost
