After creating an FTP user in ispconfig for website example.com called testclient1 (testclient being the client of example.com), the client is unable to connect through FTP on example.com (21). Client side log: Code: Command: USER testclient1 Response: 331 User testclient1 OK. Password required Command: PASS ******** Response: 530 Login authentication failed Error: Critical error Error: Could not connect to server But in the auth.log on the host pure-ftp spits out: Code: Jul 24 10:54:36 ISPConfig pure-ftpd: pam_unix(pure-ftpd:auth): check pass; user unknown Jul 24 10:54:36 ISPConfig pure-ftpd: pam_unix(pure-ftpd:auth): authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty=pure-ftpd ruser=testclient1 rhost=<own ip> Which to me looks like the user doesn't exist even though it is showing up in ispconfig... Upon creation of other FTP users the same happens, they show up perfectly fine in ispconfig but get rejected whilst logging in. Any ideas? EDIT: Adding a shelluser and trying to log in with SFTP doesn't work either (except with root)...
maybe you have pure-ftpd installed and not pure-ftpd-mysql (the pure ftpd version that supports connections to mysql). Try: apt-egt install pure-ftpd-mysql
That's the weird thing, I DO in fact have the -mysql version installed, but still it seems to not work...
Please restart MySQL with its init script and post the line that you see on the screen. And check if the MySQL login details in the pure-ftpd SQL file are working.
Restarting MySQL results in: Code: # /etc/init.d/mysql restart [ ok ] Stopping MySQL database server: mysqld. [ ok ] Starting MySQL database server: mysqld .. [info] Checking for tables which need an upgrade, are corrupt or were not closed cleanly.. And what do you mean by "check if the MySQL login details in the pure-ftpd SQL file are working."? EDIT: Adding a shelluser and trying to log in with SFTP doesn't work either (except with root)...
Bump. Checked adding a user in ISPConfig does make it show up in the MySQL database just to make sure...
Issue has seemed to have magically sorted itself out after a couple of restarts and poking around in the MySQL config. Admin possibly close thread please.
