Proftp no account created. ISPconfig start warnings

Hi all,

after a long time with ISPconfig I need some help with two points.

1. When I create FTP user (ISP Site->User & Email->new) with Administrator permission, the account is not created so I cann't log on ftp. While I have anonymous directives in proftpd.conf the anonymous ftp works well.

I am using CentOS 5.2, my proftpd.conf:
ServerName "ProFTPD Default Installation"
ServerType standalone
DefaultServer on
Port 21
UseIPv6 off
Umask 027
MaxInstances 30
User nobody
Group nobody
#---MY---
DefaultRoot ~
IdentLookups off
ServerIdent on "FTP Server ready."
AuthOrder mod_auth_file.c
AuthUserFile /etc/proftpd.passwd
AuthGroupFile /etc/proftpd.group
RequireValidShell off
PersistentPasswd off
AuthPAMConfig off
AllowOverwrite on
<Limit SITE_CHMOD>
DenyAll
</Limit>
Include /etc/proftpd_ispconfig.conf

2. while restarting or starting ISPconfig, I get this warnings in messages:
17.12.2008 - 10:55:41 => WARN - WARNING: could not open file

17.12.2008 - 10:56:20 => WARN - /root/ispconfig/scripts/lib/classes/ispconfig_system.lib.php, Line 728: WARNING: could not /home/admispconfig/ispconfig/web/multidoc/edit/bastille-firewall restart &> /dev/null

I don't think this two hang together. The second one seems like bad symlink, but where is this configuret?

Thanks for your answers...

 

It was installed by ispconfig installer. Does your answer appears for second point? The warnings started to be showen after I made changes in default configuration of E-mails (I added right location ov virtusertabs). But maybe there were more than this change.

 

Server: Domain, IP address
Web: Conf.dir, document root
E-mail: virtuser file, sendmail cw, maildir switched on
DNS: named.conf, Zonefile

Quit a lot but I think that all of them had a bad value ...

 

ok, I tried to install ispconfig from the scratch and the warnings disappeard.

But still it is impossible to create Proftpd user account.

 

Do you get any errors when you try to log in? What's in your logs?

 

Hi Falko,

this is a piece of log where some warnings are showed.

looks like we have same problem too

I try to restart the proftpd but luckily there's no error appear BUT.. I can't login through ftp maybe the user is not created

 

i have same problem on Debian Etch after update from 2.2.26 to 2.2.29

strange thing is that it always giving message
WARN - maildirmake /var/www/web1/user/domain.tld_user/Maildir &> /dev/null, Line 110: WARNING: could not maildirmake /var/www/web1/user/domain.tld_user/Maildir &> /dev/null

IT IS STILL TALKING ABOUT WEB1 NO MATTER IN WHICH SITE I"M TRYING ADD THE USER
domain.tld_user is always right in the message but there is always web1..


As Jsckoob is metioning /home/www/web2/user/web2_testuser errro mesasge maybe complaining always about first existing account on the server

I'm using [DOMAIN]_ mode



EDIT !!!
after some discovering i found that this error message was there always, (Tried on two different servers)
but until 2.2.28 always with correct web number.
Since 2.2.29 there is only web1 and ISPConfig is writing all new accoutns files for any domain into web1 folder !!!

user is located in /etc/passwd


EDIT2:
i ha'd to recompile 2.2.28 again and now the problem with /web1 is also there, i'm not sure what is it depending on, but it's real pain in the ass

 

Please make a backup of /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow and /etc/group and run

Code:

grpck

and

Code:

pwck

 

THANK YOU!!

you saved me from heart attack! )
