ProFTPD Offline

Hello and good evening.

I have recently installed ISPConfig 2.2.29 with ProFTPD on OpenSUSE 11.1 as instructed per the installation documentation. For some reason ISPConfig is reporting the FTP service being offline while in fact it is not. I am able to ftp into the machine from outside of my network. I have restarted the server from within the control panel and also from the command line with no success. Can someone instruct me in the right direction to rectify this problem?

Thank you.

Thanks for the timely response.

 

Is AppArmor disabled?

 

Yes. It was turned off during installation per the documentation at:
http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-opensuse-11.1-p6

I am now showing that bind is offline as well. It did this last night for some reason but everything seems to be working well.

Bind seems to be offline too as of a couple of days ago. I dont know if this is related.

 

Can you change

Code:

127.0.0.1 localhost

to

Code:

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost

?

 

Ok, its done, but bind and ftp are still showing offline.

 

What's the output of

Code:

netstat -tl

?

 

Here is what I have:

Looks ok. Must be one of thse SUSE mysteries...

 

Ok. Well it works I was just wondering if there was a way to solve the problem. I have installed this a few times and the last time I was able to resolve the problem but I dont remember what I did.

Thanks!
