Hi I have just now installed ISPConfig and ProFTPD. I have created a site and an FTP account in the ISPConfig control panel but when I try to login to the FTP account using my FTP client it just says "login incorrect". Does someone know what I can do to find out what is wrong?
ISPConfig requires pure-ftpd and not proftpd. Please see installation tutorials here on how to prepare your server to install ispconfig: http://www.ispconfig.org/ispconfig-3/documentation/
Which tutoriald did you use to prepare your server for the installation of ispconfig and is this a virtual server?
Yes it is a virtual server, OpenVZ. I used this guide: http://library.linode.com/web-applications/control-panels/ispconfig/debian-6-squeeze And then I complemented with this for the FTP: http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-debian-squeeze-ispconfig-2-p5
The guide from linode seems to be quite incomplete, many required packages and settings are missing. I recommend to uninstall ispconfig with the uninstall.php script from the ispconfig tar.gz, then redo all steps from the official ispconfig tutorial starting with step 8: http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-debian-squeeze-with-bind-and-courier-ispconfig-3-p3 The pure-fpd package from Debian does not work on openvz by default as capabilities in openvz are disbaled. To install it, use this guide form ispconfig faq: http://www.faqforge.com/linux/contr...irtual-machines-without-capabilities-enabled/ do this right after you finished step 13 of the perfect server guide.
Ok now I got problems again. When I follow this guide: http://www.faqforge.com/linux/contr...irtual-machines-without-capabilities-enabled/ It seems that I have downloaded a newer version of pureftpd so the file names in the commands is wrong for me. So far I have figured out that the version I have downloaded is 1.0.28. So I thought that I just change the commands. But there is one command that doesn´t work when I change it, this: dpkg -i pure-ftpd-common_1.0.21-11.4_all.deb pure-ftpd-mysql_1.0.21-11.4_i386.deb I tried to change it to: dpkg -i pure-ftpd-common_1.0.28-11.4_all.deb pure-ftpd-mysql_1.0.28-11.4_i386.deb But that didn´t work, I guess the -11.4 is supposd to be something else for my version but I don´t know what to change it to?
Run: ls -la command in the direcotory after you compiled pure-ftpd and then install the .deb files that start with pure-ftpd-common and pure-ftpd-mysql that you find there.
Ok I am new a this so I think I need more explanation because I can´t get it to work. All I get is "command not found".
The ls command is part of any linux shell, so it must be there. Execute this exact command: ls -la and post the output.
Now it worked, this it the output: total 104 drwxr-xr-x 10 root root 4096 Oct 26 2010 . drwxr-xr-x 20 root root 4096 May 11 16:21 .. drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 36864 May 11 16:42 bin drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Feb 8 2011 games drwxr-xr-x 43 root root 4096 May 11 16:42 include drwxr-xr-x 55 root root 20480 May 11 16:42 lib lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 May 11 16:20 lib64 -> lib drwxrwsr-x 10 root staff 4096 Jul 8 2010 local drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 12288 May 11 16:37 sbin drwxr-xr-x 100 root root 4096 May 11 16:42 share drwxrwsr-x 3 root dip 4096 May 11 16:41 src

When it is about to install the second package I get this error message: invoke-rc.d: initscript pure-ftpd-mysql, action "start" failed. dpkg: error processing pure-ftpd-mysql (--install): subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 252 Errors were encountered while processing: pure-ftpd-mysql
