Installed ISPconfig on SUSE 9.2 box, configured with your how-to's and everything installed great. I can log in but the management menu on the left side of the web page does not work, the error is HTTP 404 - File not found Internet Explorer . I am using https://xxx.xxx.xxx:81 to log in. Should I uninstall, then re-install and use http instead of https? Thank you for your help.
The left page is rendered with Javascript, check in your browser settings if javascript is enabled or try to add your server to the thrusted sites. If this does not help, try to reinstall ISPConfig: 1) run this command as root user on the shell to uninstall ISPConfig: /root/ispconfig/uninstall 2) Then install it again. It should work with https as well as with http Till
Still not working Thank you for the very fast response. I made corrections as you stated and the menu is still not working. I know thats a problem with Microsoft Internet Explorer, because it works on my Macintosh. I uninstalled and reinstalled and everything is working except the proftpd. Message log states: unable to create ipbind 'xxx.xxx.x.51:21 already bound to 'ProFTPD Default Installation' I have three ip's xxx.xxx.x.50, 51, 52 the errors only show up on the ip's 51 and 52 and the service won't start. ISPConfig shows offline and will not restart. The other question I have is everytime I make change on the management screen I have to re-login. Other question should I make a contribution or do you prefer the purchase of your commercial product. You guys need to be paid for all this!! Thank you.
This looks if there proftpd already has an active default configuration. Here is a minimal proftpd.conf that works well with ISPConfig. ##### BEGIN proftpd.conf ################ ServerName "FTPServer" ServerType standalone DeferWelcome off ShowSymlinks on MultilineRFC2228 on DefaultServer on ShowSymlinks on AllowOverwrite on TimeoutNoTransfer 600 TimeoutStalled 600 TimeoutIdle 1200 DisplayLogin welcome.msg DisplayFirstChdir .message LsDefaultOptions "-l" MaxInstances 30 <Directory /*> Umask 022 022 AllowOverwrite on </Directory> DefaultRoot ~ IdentLookups off UseReverseDNS off ServerIdent on "FTP Server ready." Include /etc/proftpd_ispconfig.conf ##### END proftpd.conf ################ Have you enabled cookies? Is the URL in the variable: $go_info["server"]["server_url"] in the ISPConfig configuration file correct for your server? The path of the config file is: /home/admispconfig/ispconfig/lib/config.inc.php This project has no donation button yet. It will be kind if you could tell other poeple about our project Till
Still problems after uninstall and reinstall of ISPconfig Proftpd does not start with the last line in the proftpd.conf: Include /etc/proftpd_ispconfig.conf If I comment out the line proftpd starts. The error is: notice: 'FTPServer' (192.168.0.50:21) already bound to 'FTPServer bindings.c:880: notice: unable to create ipbind '192.168.0.50': Address already in use notice: 'FTPServer' (192.168.0.51:21) already bound to 'FTPServer bindings.c:880: notice: unable to create ipbind '192.168.0.51': Address already in use notice: 'FTPServer' (192.168.0.52:21) already bound to 'FTPServer bindings.c:880: notice: unable to create ipbind '192.168.0.52': Address already in use Proftpd did start before the uninstall and reinstall In ISPConfig status shows offline for ftp server. Thanks for your help.
1) Have you stopped proftpd before changing the configuration? You can try a "killall proftpd" before you start it. 2) Is the file /etc/proftpd_ispconfig.conf there and what is the content of the file. 3) Are there any other FTP daemons running on your Server?
Commands entered "killall proftpd" proftpd: no process killed server1:/ # /etc/init.d/proftpd start Starting ProFTPD Server: - warning: "ProFTPD" address/port (192.168.0.50:21) already in use by "FTPServer" failed Yes, proftpd_ispconfig.conf is at /etc/proftpd_ispconfig.conf Contents of proftpd_ispconfig.conf: ################################### # # ISPConfig proftpd Configuration File # Version 1.0 # ################################### <VirtualHost 192.168.0.50> DefaultRoot ~ AllowOverwrite on Umask 002 </VirtualHost> <VirtualHost 192.168.0.51> DefaultRoot ~ AllowOverwrite on Umask 002 </VirtualHost> <VirtualHost 192.168.0.52> DefaultRoot ~ AllowOverwrite on Umask 002 </VirtualHost> no other ftp server is running, if I comment out the proftpd_ispconfig.conf line then the ftp service starts and I can ftp into the server. Also remember this is on a re-install of ispconfig, I had no errors with ftp on the first install. Thanks for all your help.
Can you check if the line Code: Include /etc/proftpd_ispconfig.conf is included more than once in /etc/proftpd.conf?
As far as I can see there is not 2 instances of the line in proftpd.conf. Here is my proftpd.conf file. I commented out the original file created by ispconfig and copied over the post from earlier to test proftpd.conf. I had to comment out the line #LsDefaultOptions "-l" because there was an error when proftpd started. # This is a basic ProFTPD configuration file (rename it to # 'proftpd.conf' for actual use. It establishes a single server # and a single anonymous login.

Yes I have rebooted the server 3 times. Do you think there is anything in SuSEconfig that could cause problems? Should I uninstall and reinstall ISPConfig again, if so should I do anything after I run the uninstall routine.
yes, maybe. Are you shure vsftpd is not installed beside proFTPD? No, that would not help. This is not a problem of the ISPConfig setup. The problem is that there are other processes running that are bound to the FTP ports. You have to identify the programs that are bound to the ports and stop them, before you can start the proftpd daemon. If you want me or Falko login to your server and have a look at your setup, please contact me via email: t.brehm [at] ispconfig [dot] org
Proftpd worked before I re-installed ISPConfig. All I did was uninstall ISPConfig then reboot the server, then install ISPConfig with the same setup I had before. I chose the complete uninstall option. I used expert mode to use suexec for cgi as per the documentation. ISPConfig worked before with proftpd then I reinstalled and everything works except proftpd. Thanks for all your help.
Problem solved The ProFTPD on SuSe needed the following additional directive in the proftpd.conf cofiguration file: SocketBindTight on to start correctly with an virtual IP configuration. We added this to the Tutorial on Howtoforge too. Explanation from the proFTPD vHosting Howto: http://www.castaglia.org/proftpd/doc/contrib/ProFTPD-mini-HOWTO-Vhost.html .... There is one last configuration directive about which an administrator should know: SocketBindTight. By default, the proftpd daemon will listen on all addresses, port 21, for the connection requests of remote clients. Sometimes, the administrator may wish to have the proftpd daemon listen only on the IP addresses for which it has been configured, and not every address. To accomplish this, simply use the SocketBindTight configuration directive: SocketBindTight on This configures the daemon to "bind tightly" only to those IP addresses to which it has been configured to listen, rather than every address. By default, the proftpd daemon will listen to every address on the host machine. .... Intersting thing: On e.g Debian or Mandrake this directive is not nescessary, maybe its related to the newer ProFTPD version. Till
proftpd offline, 'already bound' I had the same problem on SuSE 9.3, spent quite a while chasing it -- What worked once was to kill both proftpd AND ispconfig, edit the proftpd.conf, and THEN run /etc/init.d/ispconfig start. Thought I had it solved, then had the same problem again. It's working now, problem seems to be that I'd installed proftpd to start at boot, then ispconfig was trying to start it again. PS - Thanks for this project. Before I found it, I spent way too much time trying to configure a control panel project, written in perl, which has "gone professional". This is better code and better attitude.
