Ok, thanks.
What does contrib non-free means?

Thanks!

I would like to secure my server even more by changing default port for FTP.
I've searched thru the forums here and found this post
http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/sho...Pure-FTPd+port

But I don't have /etc/pure-ftpd.conf on my server?

On Debian Lenny, the configuration is split up in many small files that are in the /etc/pure-ftpd/ directory and its subdirectories.

I have to admit it was confusing on how to change the default port.

This might help someone in the future all I did was this:
echo "55555" > /etc/pure-ftpd/conf/Bind
which creates new file Bind inside /etc/pure-ftpd/conf with port 55555 inside that file then I restarted pure-ftpd.

I'm not sure why this is happening but I can't open any of email options:
All what I did is changed default FTP port.

Message: Unknown runtime error
Line: 65
Char: 4
Code: 0
URI: http://www.xxxxxxx.com:8080/index.php

also ever since I've changed default FTP port it says that server is offline but its actually working?

Does this happen only in Internet Explorer, or in other browsers as well?

[micko_escalade]

It happens with both IE8 and firefox 3.6.
IE8 shows above error, FF does not display any error. In FF each tab in Email Accounts gets highlighted but nothing happens.

ISPConfig tests for a ftp service on the FTP port. If you used a non standard port, ispconfig is not able to monitor FTP and will show it as offline.

Ok, that makes sense but could it be as a new feature in future versions where you can set the port to something else other then default?
