Hi all I'm a new user to linux. however I managed to install Fedora 7 LAMP server with ISPConfig by using the Howtos short manual published in howtoforge.com. Everything installed and configured properly. no errors occured during the installation. With ISP config I created a site "officeinfo.lk.de" with the access of ftp. I created a user "web1_suraj" and assined him to the site. With the ISPconfig Web-FTP its working fine. I could upload documents and the site is working perfectly. The problem is when I connect from a different PC via ftp to this site (ftp://officeinfo.lk.de) the login information box apear which means the ftp connectivity is fine. But the same user "web1_suraj" which used in ISPconfig Web-FTP does not accept at this point. I used IE, Firefox even Microsoft FrontPage but it did not work. Can someone help me to solve this issue please? Thanks.
Dear Till Thank you very much for your reply. I tried both active and passive ftp. no luck. please find the requested information. netstat: iptables: Do you think is there a problem with Proftpd. Because i saw something similar in forum. but in my case i could upload files via Web-FTP within ISPconfig perfectly.
Im actually having exactly the same problem, installed ISPConfig with ProFTPd. When i create a new site with any username/password combination it won't accept the credentials when i try to login. The installation was done according to the manual posted on this site for FC7(The perfect server), i tried reinstalling twice. The output of netstat -tap is: http://pastebin.ca/875743 and iptables -L: http://pastebin.ca/875744 Any input would be greatly apreciated. Regards, J. van Vierzen EDIT: Actually i found the answer on this very forum http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=196&page=2&highlight=ftp+login+failed Thanks, worked flawlessly!
proftpd is running on your server and there is no firewall. Are you sure that you used the correct login details. The FTP username has the form web[ID]_user and is created on the user & email tab of the site. Do not mix it up with the client login details.
Indeed I used the same user name to login outside the ISPConfig. you could see the links below. Web-FTP is working fine with ISPConfig with the same username and password. But from a different PC it denies the same username password.

Thanks Suraj
@surajlk: Please post the output of the commands: netstat -tap and: iptables -L (the output is missing in your post above.)
netstat: http://picasaweb.google.com/suraj.wellala/TechPics/photo#5160387818920988978 iptables: http://lh6.google.com/suraj.wellala/R51hY2IJ0UI/AAAAAAAAAOo/TiI0RKRmU-4/iptables.gif.jpg
Looks ok. Did you try both active and passive FTP? Is your server behind a router? If so, did you forward the ports 20 and 21 to your server?
I tried both active and passive it didn't work. However I saw in one of the threads that by re-installing proftpd it worked. so removed proftpd and re-installed now its working. I'm not sure what exactly went wrong but the problem is solved for the moment. I'm also planing to deploy webmail I hope it will also go smoothly. Thank you all your guys helping me out and I'm really adopting to linux. its a brilliant platform. Thanks once again.
