ftp problem

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:/#

 

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

Code:

ls -la /etc/ssl/private/

?

 

Here is the info

drwx--x--- 2 root ssl-cert 4096 Jul 21 08:59 .

What's the output of

Code:

ls -la /usr/local/ispconfig/interface/ssl/

?

 

Here is the info

The file is empty.

 

so i reset up the pem file and now am getting this error

I redid the pure-ftpd.pem sym link and now getting this error


Aug 3 22:42:19 web pure-ftpd: (?@?) [ERROR] Sorry, but that file doesn't exist: [/etc/ssl/private/pure-ftpd.pem]

 

removed all my mistakes again and redid the pure ftp sym link here is the outputs

and the error in syslog

Aug 3 22:52:19 web pure-ftpd: (?@?) [ERROR] Sorry, but that file doesn't exist: [/etc/ssl/private/pure-ftpd.pem]

any help appreciated.

 

Still having issue if anyone has any advice

 

I'm sorry, but I have no more ideas...

 

I received the "PEM_read_bio:no start line" error when I did not include the private key in the pure-ftpd.pem file.
Pure FTP expects the pem file to be named pure-ftpd.pem and to include the private key. Mine uses the following format with a Digicert public certificate:
-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
<the private key that you created for pure-ftp>
-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
<server certificate>
-----END CERTIFICATE-----
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
<Digicert Intermediate CA (DigicertCA.crt)>
-----END CERTIFICATE-----
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
<Root CA (TrustedRoot.crt)>
-----END CERTIFICATE-----
Probably too late for this thread, but hope this helps others.

 

Old thread but the problem is with ispserver.pem file as I had this too, mine problem was one line:
-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY----- -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
I just added one enter and then it worked fine:
-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----

 

Really old thread I know but Google led me here.

I too was getting (?@?) [ERROR] Sorry, but that file doesn't exist: [/etc/ssl/private/pure-ftpd.pem] after installing an updated cert on my RPi and eventually realised it was a formatting error within the file itself.

I create my PEM like this (and the symlink to '/etc/ssl/private/pure-ftpd.pem'):

sudo bash -c 'cat /etc/ssl/certs/comodo/domain.key /etc/ssl/certs/comodo/domain.crt /etc/ssl/certs/comodo/domain.ca > /etc/ssl/certs/comodo/domain.pem'

However for some reason this resulted in the cert and ca cert starting and ending on the same line:
-----END CERTIFICATE----------BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
Once I put a return between them and restarted Pure FTP, everything was fine.
