[HiJacker]

/etc/default/pure-ftpd-common

# STANDALONE_OR_INETD
# valid values are "standalone" and "inetd".
# Any change here overrides the setting in debconf.
STANDALONE_OR_INETD=standalone

# VIRTUALCHROOT:
# whether to use binary with virtualchroot support
# valid values are "true" or "false"
# Any change here overrides the setting in debconf.
VIRTUALCHROOT=true

/etc/pure-ftpd/db/mysql.conf

This is connecting to non-local server, user is correct, password working, and it is connecting to same db which is on that server, and user has access from outside.

Any ideas ?

When i add new user named ftp_user, it still doesnt work

Might be a problem with your firewall. Try both, active and passive FTP.

[HiJacker]

It says Login auth failed ... I have no firewall

Please enable debugging in pure-ftpd and then post the exact messages from the log.

[HiJacker]

Restarting ftp server: /usr/sbin/pure-ftpd-wrapper: Invalid configuration file /etc/pure-ftpd/conf/VerboseLog: "‘yes’" not convertible to true or false

This is really strange ..

[till]

Edit the file /etc/pure-ftpd/conf/VerboseLog and remove the '.

[HiJacker]

I have another question, there absolutny no config file for basic cvars (like on proftpd /etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf) , pureftp has nothing like that, so please, how can I change port ?

[till]

You can set all these vars in pure-ftpd too, they are just split to different files. Just take a look at the pure-ftpd configuration and on the examples that we posted on www.faqforge.com
