As the name implies i'm very new to linux. I'm following the perfect setup and everything went fine until i attempted to install and run proftpd. this is what i get when i try to start proftpd. I looked at the proftpd.conf but don't know what might need to be changed. [root@localhost init.d]# proftpd start - getaddrinfo 'server.rayjgraham.com' error: Name or service not known - warning: unable to determine IP address of 'server.rayjgraham.com' - error: no valid servers configured - Fatal: error processing configuration file '/etc/proftpd.conf' thanks, ray [email protected]
Does the domain server.rayjgraham.com resolve correctly to your server IP? To check this, you can use the dig commad: http://www.howtoforge.com/faq/index.php?action=artikel&cat=4&id=1&artlang=en&highlight=dig
Yes, must exist in DNS! If it does not, either create a DNS record for server.rayjgraham.com or re-configure your hostname, which is also described in the tutorial.
thanks for the help thanks to both of you for the help. adding the dns record fixed the problem. gota lot to learn but so far i really like this linux stuff....
