    Hi Feronso,

    Did you followed word to word with the the guide?

    So I am assuming that you were insatalling debian-5(Lenny perfect Server Guide) from this Link.

    I think you missed the edit part of /etc/inetd.conf.
    Make the changes like this.
    Then restart the service inetd
    Then further follow the FTP with TLS part.

    Hi Srijan,

    Thank you for reply,

    I have not missed any part and word. searching about pure-ftpd-mysql with ISPConfig i found thousands of peoples already have the similar issue with pure-ftpd-mysql and specially with ISPConfig.

    in replacement of this, i have decided to install vsftpd and use default Linux user/group authentication.

    Thats quite funny as there is no common issue with pure-ftpd. I install ispconfig servers daily for our customers and never had a problem and there are more then hundred thousand servers worldwide that use ispconfig with pure-ftpd, so you can rest assured that it works fine. The reason for your problem is most likely a installation problem on your server or something similar, no need to install vsftpd which will not fully work with ispconfig.

    Either your pure-ftpd to connect to pam instead of mysql and pure-ftpd does not seem to run in standalone mode.

    Another option is that you used a wrong username, are you sure that the full username is joed? ISPConfig adds a prefix to the user as usernames have to be unique, so normally the username is something like c1joed or defaultjoed, take a look at the ftp user list in ispconfig, the username is there displayed incl. prefix.

    The text file you used is for Debian 5 only, it does not apply to newer debian versions. Do you really use a debian versin that is so old? If not, then you used a wrong installation guide. The guides for recent debian versions can be found here:

    One more thing:
    Try to check if the correct version of pure-ftpd is running with
    Code:
    ps acux | grep pure
    If it doesn't show "pure-ftpd-mysql" then the non-mysql version is running, which can be easily solved by doing apt-get install pure-ftpd-mysql
