FTP server is offline in ISPConfig I got this error when installing Code: Restarting ProFTPD ftp daemon.. .. - getaddrinfo 'mydomain.com' error: Temporary failure in name resolution - warning: unable to determine IP address of 'mydomain.com' - error: no valid servers configured - Fatal: error processing configuration file '/etc/proftpd.conf' It seems to me that it's failing to get address info for the domain name I entered. Is it possible for me to change the domain to be my IP address? How would I do this? Any help would be appreciated
Your hostname has to exist in DNS. You can either create proper DNS records for your hostname, or give your system another hostname like this: Code: echo server1.example.com > /etc/hostname /bin/hostname -F /etc/hostname , or modify /etc/hosts and add your current hostname to the 127.0.0.1 line.
Uhmm, here is my /etc/hostname Code: alcon And here is /etc/hosts Code: 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost alcon # The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts ::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback fe00::0 ip6-localnet ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix ff02::1 ip6-allnodes ff02::2 ip6-allrouters ff02::3 ip6-allhosts I have configured a domain in ispconfig with this machine: abejasalud.cl (www.abejasalud.cl with NS1 ns1.abejasalud.cl), but that is all. I'm experiencing problems with proftpd... after some time the server gets offline and trys to start with /etc/init.d/proftpd start but it never can, until I reboot. Could this something to do with it? Many thanks
His /etc/proftpd_ispconfig.conf: Code: ################################### # # ISPConfig proftpd Configuration File # Version 1.0 # ################################### <VirtualHost 200.104.78.7> DefaultRoot ~ AllowOverwrite on Umask 002 </VirtualHost> <VirtualHost 200.104.78.7> DefaultRoot ~ AllowOverwrite on Umask 002 </VirtualHost> Maybe the problem is that it should be with something like www.abejasalud.cl or something? And why is it repeated twice?
Nothing strange in the syslog but this: Code: Dec 20 06:34:39 localhost postfix/smtp[9078]: connect to mx.vtr.net[200.83.1.24]: server refused to talk to me: 554 mx02.vtr.net Service not available - access denied (port 25) Dec 20 06:34:39 localhost postfix/smtp[9078]: 3B5441DDE: to=<[email protected]>, relay=none, delay=107677, status=deferred (connect to mx.vtr.net[200.83.1.24]: server refused to talk to me: 554 mx02.vtr.net Service not available - access denied ) Code: Dec 20 06:35:55 localhost proftpd[9204]: localhost.localdomain (localhost.localdomain[127.0.0.1]) - FTP session opened.

The first log entries are for Postfix, not Proftpd. Do you see any error messages when you try to restart Proftpd?
