ftp problem

[mikej]

Having a problem after creating an FTP user it is not allowing it to log in.

This is a Virtual server
this is from the auth log.

Jul 22 15:32:02 web sshd[1988]: input_userauth_request: invalid user wolfordrealty [preauth]
Jul 22 15:32:02 web sshd[1988]: pam_unix(sshd:auth): check pass; user unknown
Jul 22 15:32:02 web sshd[1988]: pam_unix(sshd:auth): authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty=ssh ruser= rhost=10.1.15.2
Jul 22 15:32:05 web sshd[1988]: Failed password for invalid user wolfordrealty from 10.1.15.2 port 1861 ssh2
Jul 22 15:32:05 web sshd[1988]: fatal: Read from socket failed: Connection reset by peer [preauth]


I checked in the databse ftp users and the user is there.

I tried deleting and remaking the user in ispconfig and still same results.

Are you talking about ftp or ssh? As you can see, the log entries are reported by your ssh deamon.

We;; ot seems the ftp server won;t even start , here is the error when I try and restart the service



root@web:/# service pure-ftpd-mysql restart
Restarting ftp server: /usr/sbin/pure-ftpd-wrapper: Invalid configuration file /etc/pure-ftpd/conf/DEADJOE: No corresponding directive
root@web:/#

[Ben]

What did you already do to solve the error? E.g. checking what the error message "No corresponding directive" means and afterwards what's inside the file "/etc/pure-ftpd/conf/DEADJOE".

well after lookin at that file a second time, first time i did not see what it shows now, it seems that was just a file made from a bad session. So I removed the file. but now I am getting this error in the syslog.


Jul 24 07:28:16 web pure-ftpd: (?@?) [ERROR] Sorry, but that file doesn't exist: [/etc/ssl/private/pure-ftpd.pem]


checked on it and it is there. I had put in the free SSL from startcom and linked the pure-ftpd.pem to the main .pem file like the instructions said.

What's the output of

ls -la /etc/ssl/private/

?
