Virtual Hosting With Proftpd And MySQL (Incl. Quota)

Hi!
I, as a newbie, have been working on this one for two days now, but it time for some help 'cause it's driving me mad.

I did exactly as the tutorial told me, but when I try to log in with FlashFXP it cuts me of immediatly saying:

[R] Connecting to Example op S***m Server -> DNS=*****.dyndns.org IP=24.132.***.*** PORT=21
[R] Connected to Example op S***m Server
[R] Connection failed (Connection lost)

This is my /etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf:

DefaultRoot ~


# The passwords in MySQL are encrypted using CRYPT
SQLAuthTypes Plaintext Crypt
SQLAuthenticate users* groups*


# used to connect to the database
# databasename@host database_user user_password
SQLConnectInfo ftp@localhost proftpd ********


# Here we tell ProFTPd the names of the database columns in the "usertable"
# we want it to interact with. Match the names with those in the db
SQLUserInfo ftpuser userid passwd uid gid homedir shell

# Here we tell ProFTPd the names of the database columns in the "grouptable"
# we want it to interact with. Again the names match with those in the db
SQLGroupInfo ftpgroup groupname gid members

# set min UID and GID - otherwise these are 999 each
SQLMinID 500

# create a user's home directory on demand if it doesn't exist
SQLHomedirOnDemand on

# Update count every time user logs in
SQLLog PASS updatecount
SQLNamedQuery updatecount UPDATE "count=count+1, accessed=now() WHERE userid='%u'" ftpuser

# Update modified everytime user uploads or deletes a file
SQLLog STOR,DELE modified
SQLNamedQuery modified UPDATE "modified=now() WHERE userid='%u'" ftpuser

# User quotas
# ===========
QuotaEngine on
QuotaDirectoryTally on
QuotaDisplayUnits Mb
QuotaShowQuotas on

SQLNamedQuery get-quota-limit SELECT "name, quota_type, per_session, limit_type, bytes_in_avail, bytes_out_avail, bytes_xfer_avail, files_in_avail, files_out_avail, files_xfer_avail FROM ftpquotalimits WHERE name = '%{0}' AND quota_type = '%{1}'"

SQLNamedQuery get-quota-tally SELECT "name, quota_type, bytes_in_used, bytes_out_used, bytes_xfer_used, files_in_used, files_out_used, files_xfer_used FROM ftpquotatallies WHERE name = '%{0}' AND quota_type = '%{1}'"

SQLNamedQuery update-quota-tally UPDATE "bytes_in_used = bytes_in_used + %{0}, bytes_out_used = bytes_out_used + %{1}, bytes_xfer_used = bytes_xfer_used + %{2}, files_in_used = files_in_used + %{3}, files_out_used = files_out_used + %{4}, files_xfer_used = files_xfer_used + %{5} WHERE name = '%{6}' AND quota_type = '%{7}'" ftpquotatallies

SQLNamedQuery insert-quota-tally INSERT "%{0}, %{1}, %{2}, %{3}, %{4}, %{5}, %{6}, %{7}" ftpquotatallies

QuotaLimitTable sql:/get-quota-limit
QuotaTallyTable sql:/get-quota-tally/update-quota-tally/insert-quota-tally

RootLogin off
RequireValidShell off

For some reason I can log in with the unedited proftpd.conf file and my debian user account and pass... So the routing is okay, I presume.

Please help!

 

Did you try both active and passive transfers in your FTP client?

 

Re:

Hi Falko,
Thanks for your reply!
Jup, but unfortunally without any progress. It keeps cutting me of right at the beginning.
Have you any other suggestions? The .conf file is okay you think?

My best.

 

Installed PureFTD

Once again hi!

Did a PureFtp install (with the Falko 'how-to': thanks!) without any troubles so I've the problems are solved.
