proftpd virtual host not working

I am having serious problems with ProFTPd Version 1.2.10 and ISPconfig Version: 2.1.2 on Mandriva 2005 LE.

I can't seem to get proftpd started in my server. here is my config and the errors I am getting. I have tried searching for a solution for this in this section of the forum but I don't get an answer that works.

Code:

Please help. I have checked all my firewall rules and I can't figure out why this is not working. I think it started to fail after I did a ISPConfig update and then just recently an init 6 reboot, then the errors started to show up.

Thats interesting and you;re address is already being used by ISPConfig, you just need to allow the permissions /etc/proftpd_[IP_ADDRESS].conf <--- adds the included file. http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=518

And dont give aways so much info, it leaves you open to be brute forced...

 

Have a look here: http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showpost.php?p=17427&postcount=2

 

I took out all of the above

The permissions are the exact same as the proftpd.conf. And there is no proftpd_[IP_ADDRESS].conf file in the /etc dir.

 

Did you have a look at the link I posted above?

 

Yes, I added the directive ...

Code:

SocketBindTight on

to the proftpd.conf file.

I am beginning to think this might be a DNS issue or soemthing else other than ISPConfig settings.... Hmmmmm. any ideas of where to check?

 

Solution?

Im not sure if ISPConfig had anything at all to do with proftpd running or not. This is what I recently did and how I think things might have gotten fixed.

Before I noticed that PROFTPD was running I ...

I cleanned up my /ETC/HOSTS file. I didn't have 127.0.0.1 defined as localhost

I don't thing this is what fixed it, but who knows???​

After this I restarted SYSLOGD the daemon.

I had not restarted the daemon since fixing a typo in my /ETC/HOSTS file about a month ago. I think there might have been and DNS conflict when PROFTPD tried to start and there was no setting in the hosts file for the domain in memory​

Hope this helps anyone.
ALSO, THANKS YOU FALCO for being patient with me...! I LOVE ISPCONFIG!
