I just setup a VPS with Ubuntu 12.04 server at Linode using this guide. ISPconfig is reporting FTP being down and I can confirm it is down as FTP connections are refused. During setup, after remounting with the updated values in the fstab file, running these Code: quotacheck -avugm & Code: quotaon -avug commands generate errors. Code: root@n3rve:~# quotacheck -avugm quotacheck: Cannot stat() mounted device /dev/root: No such file or directory quotacheck: Cannot stat() mounted device /dev/root: No such file or directory quotacheck: Cannot stat() mounted device /dev/root: No such file or directory quotacheck: Cannot find filesystem to check or filesystem not mounted with quota option.

Correct output for quotaon -avug: Code: root@n3rve:/tmp# quotaon -avug quotaon: Cannot stat() mounted device /dev/root: No such file or directory quotaon: Cannot stat() mounted device /dev/root: No such file or directory quotaon: Cannot stat() mounted device /dev/root: No such file or directory root@n3rve:/tmp# No output for these commands: Code: root@n3rve:/tmp# /etc/init.d/pure-ftpd-mysql restart root@n3rve:/tmp# netstat -tap | grep ftp root@n3rve:/tmp
After spending several hours looking for the problem, I found that it was related to the certificate that I created at /etc/ssl/private (pure-ftpd.pem) following the guide. Code: echo 0 > /etc/pure-ftpd/conf/TLS Running that stops PureFTPd from checking for the certificate during start-up. Code: service pure-ftpd restart Code: service --status-all I ran the status check and there was a [+] before pure-ftpd. My only issue now is that I get authentication failures for FTP accounts that I've just created. Any ideas?
Thank you for your reply. Yes, the username along with their passwords are entered correctly. I always remove prefixes for ISPConfig installations. Update: I've also noticed that after adding an FTP user, I don't get the notification about waiting for a minute for changes to take effect. I just get returned to the FTP users list with the new user added.
I've resolved this issue. I followed the guide carefully, but somehow pure-ftpd-mysql wasn't installed. This helped
