i can no longer use my ftp client as it will not connect to my server. If i try a restart on /etc/init.d/proftpd restart this happens Code: server1:~# /etc/init.d/proftpd restart Stopping ftp server: proftpd. Starting ftp server: proftpd - warning: unable to determine IP address of 'server1.myhost.com' - error: no valid servers configured - Fatal: error processing configuration file '/etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf' failed! server1:~# the ip address is192.168.2.4 of my server and everything else is using this ip address fine. now i have been mucking about with postfix as some who have read my other threads may know to get my emails working. Could there be a link as there seems to be in /etc/default/sasauthd and i have changed some settings in there please can anyone help
Solved ok when i did hostname Code: server1.myhost.com hostname -f Code: unknown host so i checked my hosts file and low and behold an extra "." had appeared and it looked like this PHP: server1.myhost.com.myhost.com server1 i removed the "." and hostname -f returned Code: server1.myhost.com all is now well and back up and running fine. the strange thing is this has happened since the 8/12/2011 as the ftp log shows all well till then, no i hadf been messing with postfix settings last week so it seems strange this extra "." has appeared from nowhere.
