I reformatted and reinstalled Linux (SuSE X) and ISPConfig 220. After setting up one of my websites and starting ispconfig_server start, I see a long error message: Code: linux:/share/install_ispconfig # /etc/init.d/ispconfig_server start shell-init: error retrieving current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: Onbekend bestand of map Starting ISPConfig system... shell-init: error retrieving current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: Onbekend bestand of map /root/ispconfig/httpd/bin/apachectl startssl: httpd (pid 2728) already running shell-init: error retrieving current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: Onbekend bestand of map shell-init: error retrieving current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: Onbekend bestand of map shell-init: error retrieving current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: Onbekend bestand of map shell-init: error retrieving current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: Onbekend bestand of map shell-init: error retrieving current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: Onbekend bestand of map shell-init: error retrieving current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: Onbekend bestand of map FreshClam is already running! ISPConfig system is now up and running! You have new mail in /var/spool/mail/guido linux:/share/install_ispconfig # "Onbekend bestand of map" means: Unknown file or directory Every 30 minutes I receive a mail notification: Code: Warning: service ftpd not running (server: linux)! What do I have to do to solve this problems?
This happens because you're still in the install_ispconfig directory which doesn't exist anymore. Go to another directory, and you'll see the warnings are gone. Is your FTP server running? Please post the output of Code: netstat -tap

When I installed ISPConfig, the setup tells me that it had found an FTP daemon. I remember the name vsftpd. But I am not sure. Where can I find this?
No, in /etc/init.d is neither vsftp nor vsftpd. Maybe vsftpd is not installed?? Why does ISPConfig setup say that it found vsftpd?
When I start YaST and search for ftp, YaST will find vsftpd installed yet (it is marked). What do I have to do now?
When I start to search ftp, vsftpd is found in /etc/pam.d /etc/pam.d/vsftpd start results in a "Access denied".
Here is the result: Code: linux:/etc/pam.d # ls -la /etc/xinetd.d/ totaal 96 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 608 2006-03-14 21:46 . drwxr-xr-x 85 root root 7856 2006-03-15 19:16 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 293 2002-10-22 14:02 chargen -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 313 2002-10-22 14:02 chargen-udp -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 256 2005-09-12 23:08 cups-lpd -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 293 2002-10-22 14:02 daytime -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 313 2002-10-22 14:02 daytime-udp -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 285 2002-10-22 14:02 echo -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 304 2002-10-22 14:02 echo-udp -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 358 2005-09-09 17:59 fam -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 880 2005-09-09 19:11 imap -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 428 2005-09-13 04:45 nagios-nrpe -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 492 2006-01-31 17:57 netstat -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 191 2005-09-09 20:50 qpopper -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 207 2005-09-13 02:40 rsync -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 337 2005-09-13 04:23 sane-port -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 312 2002-10-22 14:02 servers -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 314 2002-10-22 14:02 services -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 277 2005-07-20 12:43 swat -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 536 2005-09-09 18:06 systat -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 492 2005-09-09 18:28 tftp -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 319 2002-10-22 14:02 time -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 313 2002-10-22 14:02 time-udp -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2338 2006-03-13 07:53 vnc linux:/etc/pam.d #
I suggest you remove vsftpd with yast and install ProFTPd, as described here: http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_setup_suse_10.0_p5 Afterwards, please check the settings in ISPConfig: Managmement -> Server -> Settings -> FTP.
In the given document I read to add some lines for security reasons. Did I have to do that? After the command Code: /etc/init.d/proftpd start I stopped. I think /etc/init.d/proftpd is the config file which I have to put into the settings of ISPConfig, isn't it?
Where do I have to define the users who may use FTP for their website? In ISPConfig or in the FTP program?
Add an (email) user in ISPConfig. If the administrator checkbox is activated the user will have FTP access to the complete website. Then use this username and password in your FTP client.
I am sorry, but I don't understand it. On website www.domain.com I created a user with the administrator checkbox activated. What are the correct settings for the FTP client? ftp.domain.com ?? or IP-address?
Either you use your domain domain.com or www.domain.com or the IP address. If you want to use ftp.domain.com, dont forget to make a DNS A-Record for ftp.domain.com pointing to your server IP.
