FTP cannot open remote folder!?!

I'm using Dreamweaver to access first web site on an ISPConfig Fedora 9 server but I can't access it via ftp. I would rather use Dreamweaver than the ISPConfig web ftp.
After fiddling around with the settings here is what the remote site info for one individual site looks like in Dreamweaver:

Access: FTP
FTP host: I put in my server's public IP even though I can access it on my local network.
Host directory /var/www/
Login: web7_admin That's my user for the site so i assumed this would be my login.
Password: my user's password

When testing the connection I get the error:
cannot open remote folder /var/www/.
Access denied. The file may not exist or there could be a permission problem.

The firewall has port 21 open. Proftpd is working because ISPConfig has it online and enabled, and the Web-FTP on ISPConfig's panel can see the folders. Under the services it does say that the Web-server is offline and restarting it doesnt help. This is confusing though because if the webserver really is offline, how come I get an ISPConfig landing page when going to my domains from other computers in my home network, and am able to access ISPConfig?

Other attempts with putting in different ftp addresses into Dreamweaver (like ftp.domain.com) had a loading bar attempting to connect but then halfway through gave a very general error message with every possible thing that could be wrong. So I think just putting in my static Public IP is all right, as it just says that the folder can't be found.

The user web7_admin has administrator privelages under that site.

What settings do I need to have to access my site with FTP?

 

*cough* use scp not ftp *cough-security-cough*

 

Tried it, and there was no change.

 

Woops I meant that to the first post, not the scp. Unless scp can fix my problem, Id like to first get my sites functioning and then worry about security...

 

Well in my opinion it would be easier to implement SFTP vs FTP anywau. And if you decide to work with SFTP you don't need to go through the effort to implement FTP (which is an insecure protocol). Just my 2 cents.

 

But my problem is that I can't find or access any of the folders on my server. So would using SFTP really change anything?

 

You cannot access /var/www because that's outside web7_admin's home directory. I guess the right path is /var/www/web7.

 

Exactly so if you create a link from /var/www/[folder name] to /home/[username]/www you will be set.

Or, use the apache/lighttpd directive that maps home directories to the domain, IE: www.example.com/~username

Then you use SFTP to transfer files, and if desired create a jail for that user then allow SSH access for administration as well. There are many options, I just like to frown away from FTP as it seems to be a old, insecure protocol.

 

I can't access /var/www/web7 either. I looked on my server and in /var/www/ there is a folder for www.mydomain.com but its a shortcut to /var/www/web7/ so I think the thing you were talking about linking is already done. (web7 is the username that ISPConfig assigned the specific site)

It has to be something on my server computer blocking access but I can't tell what. Could it be something to do with the fact that i am trying to access it in the same local network? Maybe since I'm typing in the public static IP address its messing up? I checked the firewall and the port forwarding for port 21 and both appear to be in order. I'm really at a loss to what the problem is, because these appear to be all the right settings, it just doesn't work.

 

Have you tried both active and passive FTP in your FTP client?

What's the output of

Code:

ls -la /var/www

? Are there any errors in your logs?

 

Code:

lrwxrwxrwx  1 apache     web2   13 2008-09-28 12:02 www.uniquecontentcreation.com -> /var/www/web2

so winrowinc.com is the web7 one I am trying to access.

Yes, I have tried both regular and passive ftp with Dremweaver.

 

Which error log should I look at in /var/log? Theres one called boot.log-20081005 which I think was my last bootup but it is empty.

Looking in /var/log/httpd I see a lot of different logs. One called ipsconfig_access_log-20081005 just has a lot of stuff about googlebot trying to get favicon or robot.txt obviously nothing to do with ftp. I can't find any error logs with my sites name, just old domains I tried but deleted under ispconfig.

I seem to recall there being a virtualhost error showing when the computer was saying which services it was starting, the last times I booted up.

Now my website has the default Apache start page, rather than the ispconfig one. I assume this is because the webserver is shown as offline under ispconfig.

Would it be best to just reinstall ispconfig? I don't have any data to lose if I do...

 

What's the output of

Code:

ls -l /var/log

?

Is your Vhosts_ispconfig.conf file included at the end of the main Apache configuration?

Where can I find my main apache configuration? Is it the httpd.conf file in /root/ispconfig/httpd/conf? I couldn't find anything with "vhost" in there so I assume it isn't.
I don't have an /etc/apache2 folder so I assume all of apache is in the ispconfig folder right?

 

Okay so when I added Include "Vhosts_ispconfig.conf" to the previously mentioned httpd.conf, I restarted, it said that Vhosts_ispconfig.conf couldn't be found and that httpd couldn't be started. There is a httpd.conf file in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf. Should I try the include with that? Since the service didnt start during the bootup I assume the httpd.conf that was used was in the ispconfig directory that I edited.

 

What's in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf?

Please check /var/log/messages for FTP errors.

Thats a sample of that my var/log/messages file. Basically its a lot of ftp turning off and on even though i haven't done anything with the computer tonight (aka I haven't tried to interact with ftp when these errors occurred)
Here's my /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf. This is the one I think isn't in use.

Code:

#
# This is the main Apache server configuration file.  It contains the
# configuration directives that give the server its instructions.
# See <URL:http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/> for detailed information.
# In particular, see
# <URL:http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/directives.html>
# for a discussion of each configuration directive.
#
#
# Do NOT simply read the instructions in here without understanding
# what they do.  They're here only as hints or reminders.  If you are unsure
# consult the online docs. You have been warned.  
#
# The configuration directives are grouped into three basic sections:
#  1. Directives that control the operation of the Apache server process as a
#     whole (the 'global environment').
#  2. Directives that define the parameters of the 'main' or 'default' server,
#     which responds to requests that aren't handled by a virtual host.
#     These directives also provide default values for the settings
#     of all virtual hosts.
#  3. Settings for virtual hosts, which allow Web requests to be sent to
#     different IP addresses or hostnames and have them handled by the
#     same Apache server process.
#
# Configuration and logfile names: If the filenames you specify for many
# of the server's control files begin with "/" (or "drive:/" for Win32), the
# server will use that explicit path.  If the filenames do *not* begin
# with "/", the value of ServerRoot is prepended -- so "logs/foo.log"
# with ServerRoot set to "/etc/httpd" will be interpreted by the
# server as "/etc/httpd/logs/foo.log".
#

### Section 1: Global Environment
#
# The directives in this section affect the overall operation of Apache,
# such as the number of concurrent requests it can handle or where it
# can find its configuration files.
#

#
# Don't give away too much information about all the subcomponents
# we are running.  Comment out this line if you don't mind remote sites
# finding out what major optional modules you are running

#
# ServerRoot: The top of the directory tree under which the server's
# configuration, error, and log files are kept.
#
# NOTE!  If you intend to place this on an NFS (or otherwise network)
# mounted filesystem then please read the LockFile documentation
# (available at <URL:http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mpm_common.html#lockfile>);
# you will save yourself a lot of trouble.
#
# Do NOT add a slash at the end of the directory path.
#
ServerRoot "/etc/httpd"

# identification number when it starts.

#
# KeepAlive: Whether or not to allow persistent connections (more than

### Section 2: 'Main' server configuration
#
# The directives in this section set up the values used by the 'main'
# server, which responds to any requests that aren't handled by a
# <VirtualHost> definition.  These values also provide defaults for
# any <VirtualHost> containers you may define later in the file.
#
# All of these directives may appear inside <VirtualHost> containers,
# in which case these default settings will be overridden for the
# virtual host being defined.
#

#
# ServerAdmin: Your address, where problems with the server should be
# e-mailed.  This address appears on some server-generated pages, such
# as error documents.  e.g. [email protected]
#
ServerAdmin [email protected]

#
# ServerName gives the name and port that the server uses to identify itself.
# This can often be determined automatically, but we recommend you specify
# it explicitly to prevent problems during startup.
#
# If this is not set to valid DNS name for your host, server-generated
# redirections will not work.  See also the UseCanonicalName directive.
#
# If your host doesn't have a registered DNS name, enter its IP address here.
# You will have to access it by its address anyway, and this will make 
# redirections work in a sensible way.
#
#ServerName www.example.com:80

#
# UseCanonicalName: Determines how Apache constructs self-referencing 
# URLs and the SERVER_NAME and SERVER_PORT variables.
# When set "Off", Apache will use the Hostname and Port supplied
# by the client.  When set "On", Apache will use the value of the
# ServerName directive.
#
UseCanonicalName Off

#
# DocumentRoot: The directory out of which you will serve your
# documents. By default, all requests are taken from this directory, but
# symbolic links and aliases may be used to point to other locations.
#
DocumentRoot "/var/www/html"

#
# Each directory to which Apache has access can be configured with respect
# to which services and features are allowed and/or disabled in that
# directory (and its subdirectories).

# First, we configure the "default" to be a very restrictive set of 
# features.

#
# UserDir: The name of the directory that is appended onto a user's home
# directory if a ~user request is received.
#
# The path to the end user account 'public_html' directory must be
# accessible to the webserver userid.  This usually means that ~userid
# must have permissions of 711, ~userid/public_html must have permissions
# of 755, and documents contained therein must be world-readable.

#ErrorDocument 404 "/cgi-bin/missing_handler.pl"
#ErrorDocument 402 http://www.example.com/subscription_info.html
#

#
# Putting this all together, we can internationalize error responses.
#
# We use Alias to redirect any /error/HTTP_<error>.html.var response to
# our collection of by-error message multi-language collections.  We use 
# includes to substitute the appropriate text.
#
# You can modify the messages' appearance without changing any of the
# default HTTP_<error>.html.var files by adding the line:
#
#   Alias /error/include/ "/your/include/path/"
#
# which allows you to create your own set of files by starting with the
# /var/www/error/include/ files and
# copying them to /your/include/path/, even on a per-VirtualHost basis.

### Section 3: Virtual Hosts
#
# VirtualHost: If you want to maintain multiple domains/hostnames on your
# machine you can setup VirtualHost containers for them. Most configurations
# use only name-based virtual hosts so the server doesn't need to worry about
# IP addresses. This is indicated by the asterisks in the directives below.
#
# Please see the documentation at 
# <URL:http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/vhosts/>
# for further details before you try to setup virtual hosts.
#
# You may use the command line option '-S' to verify your virtual host
# configuration.

#
# Use name-based virtual hosting.
#
NameVirtualHost *:80
#
# NOTE: NameVirtualHost cannot be used without a port specifier 
# (e.g. :80) if mod_ssl is being used, due to the nature of the
# SSL protocol.
#

#
# VirtualHost example:
# Almost any Apache directive may go into a VirtualHost container.
# The first VirtualHost section is used for requests without a known
# server name.
#
<VirtualHost *:80>

Include /etc/httpd/conf/vhosts/Vhosts_ispconfig.conf

 

On the restart of the server, it said that ISPConfig couldn't be started because there was something wrong with SetupOutputFilter...

I added the Include Vhosts_ispconfig.conf like to the ISPConfig's httpd.conf in the root/ispconfig/conf/ directory. Previously I just had Include Vhosts_ispconfig.conf but I changed it to "Include /etc/..."aka the full path of that file.

 

I'm thinking that a fresh install of fedora will solve some of my problems, so I'll reprort back if this issue still persists.
