Hello, i am new in linux world, but i have followed the The Perfect Server - CentOS 5.5 x86_64 [ISPConfig 3], it seemed to me that everything installed fine, i followed the suggestions that were made even if the install wasn't working from the comments bellow... anyways I have an issue the the pureftpd and ispconfig 3.... using FileZilla, i am able to log in as root onto the server with ftp.... the minute i care a user on the ispconfig 3 for ftp... it does not work... it keeps saying authentication failed.... my though is that the directorys do not match for the username and passwords with pureftp/myphpadmin/ispconfig, am I on the right track? or way off please help Thank you
Sorry that directory does not exist... the thing is i have tried logging in as root and it did work... I can not create users in ISPConfig 3, they do not authenticate...
Did you try both active and passive transfers in your FTP client? Is SELinux disabled? Is this a physical server or a virtual machine?
Did you try both active and passive transfers in your FTP client? --> yes i have tried both (its give me authentication error) Is SELinux disabled? --> yes it is disabled Is this a physical server or a virtual machine? It is a physical server... to me it seems like the ISPconfig 3 and the pureftd are looking a different directory for username and password.... I am not sure how to check if the are looking at the same files... Thanks
sure thing.... this happens when i log in a root with ftp filezilla: Status: Connecting to 555.555.555.555... Response: fzSftp started Command: open "[email protected]" 22 Command: Pass: ******** Status: Connected to 555.555.555.555 Status: Retrieving directory listing...

Yes it is Active... its checked as default Where would i find Authentication log file? in ispconfig3 under monitor Logfiles this is what i find... * Show Mail Queue * Show Mail Log * Show Mail Warn-Log * Show Mail Error-Log * Show System-Log * Show ISPC Cron-Log * Show Freshclam-Log * Show Clamav-Log * Show RKHunter-Log * Show fail2ban-Log no Auth log please let me know how i can check the auth log thanx and ill let you know what it says.... Thank You
I have checked pureftpd.log file and it was nothing there.... and these are all the log files under that directory.... and no authentication log.... should i look at any other log files? acpid / ispconfig / rpmpkgs.1 anaconda.log / ispconfig_install.log / rpmpkgs.2 anaconda.syslog / lastlog / rpmpkgs.3 anaconda.xlog / mail / samba audit / maillog / scrollkeeper.log boot.log / maillog.1 / secure boot.log.1 / maillog.2 / secure.1 boot.log.2 / maillog.3 / secure.2 boot.log.3 / mcelog / secure.3 btmp / messages / setroubleshoot clamav / messages.1 / spooler conman / messages.2 / spooler.1 conman.old / messages.3 / spooler.2 cron / mysqld.log / spooler.3 cron.1 / pm / squid cron.2 / ppp / tallylog cron.3 / prelink wtmp cups / pureftpd.log / Xorg.setup.log dmesg / rkhunter.log / yum.log fail2ban.log / rkhunter.log.old / yum.log.1 faillog / rpmpkgs httpd
Hey there, I´m having the exact same problem as Breezer here. I have created an ftp user under a client and that user is marked as active. When I try to connect via filezilla, I get the same error messages as posted earlier in this thread. I can however connect as root, even though root is present in ftpusers under /etc Here is what pops up in the auth.log: sshd[18060]: Invalid user **** from 192.168.255.3 sshd[18060]: Failed none for invalid user **** from 192.168.255.3 port 53982 ssh2 sshd[18060]: pam_unix(sshd:auth): check pass; user unknown sshd[18060]: pam_unix(sshd:auth): authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty=ssh ruser= rhost=192.168.255.3 So obviously the ftp does not recognize the user I created in ISPConfig, so the question is why not?
I have checked there there is no authentication log... but there was pureftpd.log i have checked it out and there is nothing there...
yes i did this is what it was showing when i was trying to log in with the user that i created through ispconfig 3 Feb 9 09:30:02 server1 pure-ftpd: ([email protected]) [INFO] New connection from 127.0.0.1 Feb 9 09:30:02 server1 pure-ftpd: ([email protected]) [INFO] Logout.

I've been doing little bit of research... and i have came across this Then, you have to run the pure-ftpd command with '-l mysql:' (it's an 'ell' not a 'one') followed by the path of that configuration file. Here's an example with tcpserver: tcpserver -DHRl0 0 21 /usr/local/bin/pure-ftpd -l mysql:/etc/pureftpd-mysql.conf & You can mix different authentication methods. For instance, if you want to use system (/etc/passwd) accounts when an account is not found in a MySQL database, use -l mysql:/etc/pureftpd-mysql.conf -l unix now is it possible that ftp is not pointed into the appropriate directory, as in its only pointed to mysql and not etc/passwd so thats why i can only log in with my root sql password... ? if so how can i fix this so its pointed to both directories.... if NOT disregard this thought...
This may have already been said but I didn't read all the post completely. Your user name you are log in in with might be the problem, I also had this problem until I figured it out. So when you create a client lets say "Website1" then next step is the FTP-user "ftp1" under websites. So the log in name should be "website1ftp1" for the log in to work. You will see [clientname]"username" on the ftp user name screen. So I put them together and it worked for me Zach
No that is not the issue... I have already tried that and made sure that i am using the full name ie website1ftp1, and the right password... also tried the different transfer settings : default / active / passive and none of them work. I get the same response all the time Response: fzSftp started Command: open "[email protected]" 22 Command: Pass: ******** Error: Authentication failed. Error: Critical error Error: Could not connect to server thats why it makes me think that the pureftpd is not looking at the same folder that the the ispconfig creates the usernames and passwords for ftp.
