Hello I am trying to install proftpd and proftpd-mysql for about a week now, it was installed before and working with ISPConfig fine, for some reason stoped working and shows on ispconfig FTP Offline , then when i try to start it with a command line it gives me an error. I even deleted the pkdg from the cache and download it again so many times because sometime it was giving me : pkdg error cannot install. I searched alot the web to find a solution after i removed it and try to install it again it was like impossible , each time i got this error message: error: No address associated with hostname - warning: unable to determine IP address of 'my server.mydomain.com__localhost_127.0.0.1' - error: no valid servers configured - Fatal: error processing configuration file '/etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf' even i have hostname and hosts setup i don't know if there is somthing wrong with it. I attached some files may be it will help. Please i need some advice on this problem , anyhelp will be appreciated. Thanks very much in advance.

Add kserver.kandkmarket.com_ to /etc/hosts as well. Why do you have so strange hostnames (kserver.kandkmarket.com_, server.mydomain.com__localhost_127.0.0.1?
Thanks again hello mr/falko I added the kserver.kandkmarket.com and deleted all things that looks strange which i didn't add those as a matter of fact i found out that ispconfig each time i change somthing it adds it in the file, so anyway i cleaned it, when i tried again to install proftpd i got this: Starting ftp server: proftpd - IPv4 getaddrinfo 'kserver.kandkmarket.com_' error: No address associated with hostname - warning: unable to determine IP address of 'kserver.kandkmarket.com_' - error: no valid servers configured - Fatal: error processing configuration file '/etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf' failed! invoke-rc.d: initscript proftpd, action "start" failed. dpkg: error processing proftpd (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 Errors were encountered while processing: proftpd E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) I just don't understand what could be wrong, i am still new to this system Linux & Debian, i hate to keep bothering you with my questions but for my information that you the only one can solve the big ones. here is what the new hosts file looks like # 'hosts' file configuration. kserver.kandkmarket.com localhost 127.0.0.1 # 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 Thanks again

Finally i succeded to install proftpd and the only thing i am worried about is this part: (Starting ftp server: proftpd - IPv6 getaddrinfo 'kserver.kandkmarket.com' error: No address associated with hostname) but i started it and it didn't give me errors: /etc/init.d/proftpd start I think it is working i will need to assign user name and pwd to it. I appreciate your assistance very much.
Your /etc/hosts file is completely wrong. Please make it look like this: Code: 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost 192.168.0.100 kserver.kandkmarket.com kserver # 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 Please replace 192.168.0.100 with the system's IP address.
Hello again mr/Falko Thanks for your response. I corrected the Hosts file and i have a question : to replace the 192.168.0.100 in the (Hosts) file with my system's IP i checked with What is my ip ? on the net and i got 97. 77.121.99 is this is the one i should put in the hosts file instead of the 192.168.0.100 ? even if i already setup a static ip on the router (192.168.0.100) ? and should i use this also in ISPConfig as IP address ? concerning the ProFTPD is running now and shows in ispconfig (online). I also like to know if after your reply to this message should i delete this post or leave it on ? Thanks very much again for your help.
Use the one that you see in the output of Code: ifconfig Don't delete the posts! They might help someone else.
