    Hi all I solved the problem, first I found that the ispconfig user is gone, I do not know how but I will figure it out, so simply I add the ispconfig user again and the password that I gave to the user I took it from "/usr/local/ispconfig/server/lib/classes/db_mysql.inc.php" -->$conf['db_password'] = 'longstring';
    the steps are:
    • mysql -u root -p
    • create user 'ispconfig'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'longstring';
    • grant all on dbispconfig.* to 'ispconfig'@'localhost';
    try to connect ftp server and it works :)
    Thanks

    Semi-Ancient post but in 3.1.12 (not sure how far back this is the case)
    Code:
    nano /usr/local/ispconfig/interface/lib/config.inc.php
    You will find the password here (ubuntu).
