vsftpd showing Offline

Ok, see attached file, its the same as the one I posted in this thread, just with Falko's changes added to it.!

 

What's the output of

Code:

netstat -tap

?

 

Below is the output:

 

What's in /etc/hosts?
What's the output of

Code:

telnet localhost 21

?

 

This is getting a bit like Deja Vu:

hosts:

Telnet:

 

Where do these lines come from?

What's the output of

Code:

iptables -L

?

 

Standard Debian sarge 3.1 entry.

As you mentioned in this Thread, I should comment out this line and add the corrected localhost entry.!
Which was done.

IPTables output:

 

What happens if you turn off the firewall?

 

Has no effect.
The firewall is the Bastille which is "mit installiert" with ISPConfig.

Your log also just says:

When trying WebFTP which also does not say much.

Could you explain a little bit how the WebFTP tryes to connect to the FTP, maybe in detail? It might help!

 

It uses the standard PHP FTP functions...

I guess I'm at my wit's end then...

 

Oh, dont give up now, we have gone too far now to just give up

Question:
Could we amend the FTP connection in ISPConfig to look at a specific IP address and NOT localhost?

This already works when directing an FTP client to my Servers IP, its just the "Localhost" thats having trouble.

 

Hi till, I think you miss-understood me, I know that the Localhost connect is hardcoded into the PHP scripts, thats the reason why I asked if the script can be changed to connect to an IP and not localhost.

I am not asking for a feature change, I just would like to know which script to amend...

 

The Web-FTP scripts are located in /home/admispconfig/ispconfig/web/isp_file.

 

Ok, I will have a look if I can make this work thanks.

If in the mean time, you have any ideas, please let me know.

 

Do you use SuSE or Fedora on your system?

 

No, Sarge.

 

Hm, I thought that maybe SELinux or AppArmor could be the reason for your problems, but there is no SELinux or AppArmor on Sarge...

 

Strange but I started to receive System EMails today referance my FTP server being down...even though its up!

Can you tell me how to de-activate the Admin Mail for the Services, or if possable, just the ftpd Mail?

 

Make sure that your FTP server is listening also on 127.0.0.1. You can check with

Code:

netstat -tap

You can change this under Management -> Server -> Services -> Monitoring.
