    -1 means "Unlimited" in ISPConfig.
    What's the web space of the complete web site?

    Any errors in the FTP log?

    Hi falko,

    The webspace is set to -1 as well....

    Space MB: -1 [​IMG]
    Traffic MB: -1
    [​IMG]


    There doesnt seem to be any error in the message log....
    All i can really see is a whole lot of open and closed sessions

    /var/log/messages

    seems like every 30 minutes exactly a session from 127.0.0.1 is opened and closed striaght away....

    and someone that it think is trying to gain access....

    regards

    Hi All,

    This is weird to me but i just tried to upload using the servers internal ip address to upload files and it works and it goes real fast....

    Im wondering why it wont upload or or disconnect using www.baktim.com
    and it flies like a bat out of hell when i use the internal ip address for the server. ??? :confused:


    If i this about it logically this would tell me that there nothing wrong with the setup of proftpd on the server if it upload really quickly using the internal ip address but i jst cant think of what wiould be the issue where it doesnt allow me to upload all files using the www.baktim.com ????

    (flies like a bat out of hell = really fast) <---- for those that arnt culturally from australia :D

    regards

    Did you try to connect from inside your local network (where your server is located too) with your domain that points to your external IP?

    This might be blocked by your router, if the router has a spoofing filter.

    Also FTP is known to have problems to connect trogh a router. Please try active and passive FTP mode.

    This looks like a connection from the ISPConfig script that checks if the FTP server is online.

    FTP uses more ports after the initial connection. Have you tried bot, active and passive FTP, as i suggested?

    Looks like your network address translation buffer was full. I suggest to ask your router manufacturer what might cause this.

    Hi after a little reading and diagnosis with a app called
    router connection manager 1.7.6 - This app watches the NAT table with all the incomming and out going and i sat there watching it while a upload to the web folder and at certain points i would say when the buffer memory is full it freezes the ftp upload which causes the ftp to disconnect.

    To be honest i really put it down to a bad choice of router for a server anyway maybe ill look at a something like a cisco 871W sometime soon.

    But thankyou for your help on this one....

    regards

    worked for me too

    This worked for me after reinstalling Centos 5 (x86_64 btw) over top of itself after an easily recoverable (I lucked out) crash on the system drive. Thanks for the info, saved me a lot of headache!

    simpler

    Hello,

    I found simpler solution for this prob.

    Just:

    Code:
    ln -s /etc/pam.d/proftpd /etc/pam.d/ftp
    (CentOS 5.2 x86_64)
