    Hello,
    I have been reading other post about similar situations but i have not found the solution yet. So, this is my question...
    I followed http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-debian-lenny-ispconfig3 to configure a server... All seems to work well except ftp server, that doesn't connect to mysql to authenticate ftp users with the information of the ftp_user table.
    I have tried to reinstall pure-ftpd, but the problem remains.

    That is what I get...

    I have tried also with 127.0.0.1 and localhost in mysql.conf, and all the data seems to be OK. I have used it to log in mysql and it works.

    Did you try both active and passive transfers in your FTP client?

    Is this a physical server or a virtual machine?

    Yes, I tried both and it doesn't work with the users created in ISPConfig. But it works with the OS users (except with root).

    It is a physical server.

    Thank you!

    Can you log in on the shell using
    Code:
    mysql -h 127.0.0.1 -u ispconfig -p
    (using the same MySQL password as in your pureftpd configuration)?

    Yes, in this way, I can log in.

    Hm... Just a guess, but does your MySQL password contain any special characters?

    No, only hexadecimal characters.
