Can't find it on /var/run/pureftpd (the folder exists but is empty, pure-ftpd proccess exists and is running perfectly). I tried to restart/stop/start the process, but not pid file (I need it for monit). Debian 6, pure-ftpd-mysql package installed (perfect setup for debian 6 ispconfig3). Could some one help me please? thanks
Did you check the PureFTPd init script in /etc/init.d/? It should contain a reference to the PID file.
root@site1:/var/run/pure-ftpd# vdir total 0 root@site1:/var/run/pure-ftpd# I have /etc/init.d/pure-ftpd-mysql there, inside, I have this reference (checked before post ): ... PIFILE=/var/run/pure-ftpd/pure-ftpd.pid ... Every start in the script has is reference to PIDFILE root@site1:/var# /etc/init.d/pure-ftpd-mysql status could not access PID file for pure-ftpd ... failed! If I delete the folder /var/run/pure-ftpd, it is creater when pure-ftpd is started. But PID is not created. root@site1:/var/run/pure-ftpd# /etc/init.d/pure-ftpd-mysql status could not access PID file for pure-ftpd ... failed! root@site1:/var/run/pure-ftpd# ps x |grep pure-ftpd 2283 pts/0 S+ 0:00 grep pure-ftpd 21567 ? Ss 0:00 pure-ftpd (SERVER) This smells like a bug...
When start pure-ftpd, I have no reference -g to pid file (it is hardwire, I think it should appear) Starting ftp server: Running: /usr/sbin/pure-ftpd-mysql-virtualchroot -l mysql:/etc/pure-ftpd/db/mysql.conf -l pam -E -H -Y 1 -p 29799:29999 -c 100 -8 UTF-8 -I 10 -O clf:/var/log/pure-ftpd/transfer.log -L 5000:500 -u 1000 -T 64 -b -A -k 95 -4 -D -B
Can you try this and restart PureFTPd (please check if /etc/pure-ftpd/conf/PidFile exists already, and if so, make a backup of it before)? Code: echo "/var/run/pure-ftpd/pure-ftpd.pid" > /etc/pure-ftpd/conf/PidFile
I tried, but pureftpd will not start again (I can't remember the error, but PidFile was deprecated because right now it is hardwire. I will repeat and post here the error)
That solution doesn't work. I'm also trying to get pure-ftpd to use the PIDFILE directive in the init.d script, but for some reason, either it's not getting passed to /usr/sbin/pure-ftpd-wrapper, or /usr/sbin/pure-ftpd-wrapper isn't accepting PIDFILE as an argument.
