Another problem now, didn't know if I should make a new post or use my last one but here goes anyway. After creating a user for my newly created site, I cannot login with the user account (tested using ftp). I notice that the record in isp_isp_user for the user I created has a blank user_passwort field. Is this normal ? I have tried changing the password but no luck Please help !
Yes. For security reasons the passwords are only stored in /etc/shadow. Have you checked the FTP checkbox for this website? If yes, check your /etc/passwd file if the user has been created there by ISPConfig.
Thanks for the quick reply. Yes FTP is enabled for the site (via the checkbox) test:x:10007:10008:Test:/home/www/web8/user/test:/bin/false another:x:10005:10008:Another Test:/home/www/web8:/bin/false appear in the passwd file. Passwords appear for both in the shadow file too.
Can you send emails with these users? Maybe you have a problem with FTP as already some others had in this forum (with Fedora Core 4).
Yes I used the email addresses Even more strange, I CAN login using web-ftp Tried restarting ftp, tried rebooting, tried another ftp client.
can you post the output from the command: netstat -tap Maybe your FTP Daemon listens only on localhost. Have you installed an additional firewall?
What's the exact error message you get from Uebimiau? Maybe this thread is related to your ftp problem: http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=196
tcp 0 0 *:ftp *:* LISTEN 25663/proftpd: (acc I guess that means listen on all interfaces ? FTP client tries to connect but gets invalid username or password Firewall, I am using Ispconfig firewall and definitely no others.
Falko, your /etc/pam.d/ftp file fixed it ! Perfect, thanks. Also the webmail appears to be working now, I am guessing that I typed the password incorrectly earlier. Thanks Falko/till
