I am confused why my pureftpd will not accept connections I am hoping someone here can see or tip me in the proper direction to fix this. from my ftp client Connection attempt failed with "ECONNREFUSED - Connection refused by server". /etc/pure-ftpd/conf# ftp localhost ftp: connect to address ::1: Connection refused Trying 127.0.0.1... ftp: connect: Connection refused ftp> exit netstat does not even show it running yet it seems to restart no errors. I tried added a echo "0.0.0.0,21" > /etc/pure-ftpd/conf/Bind how and most importantly where do I make this accept connections root@:/etc/pure-ftpd# /etc/init.d/pure-ftpd-mysql restart Restarting ftp server: Running: /usr/sbin/pure-ftpd-mysql-virtualchroot -l mysql:/etc/pure-ftpd/db/mysql.conf -l pam -u 1000 -S 0.0.0.0,21 -8 UTF-8 -A -B -Y 1 -H -4 -O clf:/var/log/pure-ftpd/transfer.log -b -E -D -B /etc/pure-ftpd# netstat -nptl Active Internet connections (only servers) Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State PID/Program name tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:10024 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 2858/amavisd-new (m tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:10025 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 3965/master tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:3306 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 5888/mysqld tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:587 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 3965/master tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:11211 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 3250/memcached tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:110 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 3790/dovecot tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:143 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 3790/dovecot tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:111 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 1786/rpcbind tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:464 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 3965/master tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:465 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 3965/master tcp 0 0 172.20.1.4:53 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 2369/named tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:53 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 2369/named tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:25 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 3965/master tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:953 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 2369/named tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:26 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 3965/master tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:993 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 3790/dovecot tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:995 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 3790/dovecot tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:37542 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 1817/rpc.statd tcp6 0 0 :::905 :::* LISTEN 4157/sshd tcp6 0 0 :::587 :::* LISTEN 3965/master tcp6 0 0 :::110 :::* LISTEN 3790/dovecot tcp6 0 0 :::143 :::* LISTEN 3790/dovecot tcp6 0 0 :::111 :::* LISTEN 1786/rpcbind tcp6 0 0 :::464 :::* LISTEN 3965/master tcp6 0 0 :::80 :::* LISTEN 2906/apache2 tcp6 0 0 :::465 :::* LISTEN 3965/master tcp6 0 0 :::8081 :::* LISTEN 2906/apache2 tcp6 0 0 :::8180 :::* LISTEN 2906/apache2 tcp6 0 0 :::53 :::* LISTEN 2369/named tcp6 0 0 :::25 :::* LISTEN 3965/master tcp6 0 0 ::1:953 :::* LISTEN 2369/named tcp6 0 0 :::26 :::* LISTEN 3965/master tcp6 0 0 :::443 :::* LISTEN 2906/apache2 tcp6 0 0 :::56093 :::* LISTEN 1817/rpc.statd tcp6 0 0 :::993 :::* LISTEN 3790/dovecot tcp6 0 0 :::995 :::* LISTEN 3790/dovecot
I freshly installed ispconfig3 and I clicked on the firewall option (from what I understand is the bastille-firewall) automatically it added a bunch of common ports .. this locked me out (i have different ssh and different ispconfig http port luckly my VPS i could get console and stop bastille-firewall) I changed my ssh back to standard 22 and rebooted then I could ssh in but since I rebooted I was unable to use https ispconfig so I just stopped the bastille again and I am able to access it. I created a account for ftp for the wordpress website I have running I also notice it shows Status of Services FTP-Server: Offline ps -aux shows nothing for pureftp so I have /var/log/syslog pure-ftpd: (?@?) [ERROR] Sorry, but that file doesn't exist: [/etc/ssl/private/pure-ftpd.pem]
ok fixed it.. the error /var/log/syslog pure-ftpd: (?@?) [ERROR] Sorry, but that file doesn't exist: [/etc/ssl/private/pure-ftpd.pem] The error is not very descriptive because the file is clearly existing. From what i understand it needs to have a key that is combined? so i just re generated the key. # openssl req -x509 -nodes -days 7300 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout /etc/ssl/private/pure-ftpd.pem -out /etc/ssl/private/pure-ftpd.pem then I gave it proper rights chmod 600 /etc/ssl/private/pure-ftpd.pem # netstat -anp tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:21 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 8557/pure-ftpd (SER now it show proper in the web interface Status of Services FTP-Server: Online i had my port human error miss entered in the firewall section for the ispconfig so all good now hope this helps people!
