Web-FTP: cannot connect to server localhost

Web-FTP and some other smaller issues

Well, my Problem is a bit confusing, FTP works fine but Web-FTP get's me the message, that it could not connect to localhost...might there be some wrong permissions on folders or any idea?

PS: Falko, I'm correcting / re-translate the german lang-files at the moment, but, there seem to be some variables not catched up by the lang-files (example 'create DNS MX' will not become 'DNS MX anlegen') ...even with the DEV-files it's not getting changed.

 

Hosts is ok, bot how can I figure out, if proftpd (standalone) is also listening for connections on localhost?

-lng-files I will check then with the english ones, thx-

 

hm, well, I'm not shure...

well, I have winSCP and Putty here on my XP...and can connect via IE 6...maybe put something like: proftpd: localhost : ALLOW in my hosts.allow?

 

...connection with ncftp and one of the users over localhost works!

 

Which distribution do you use?

 

debian 3.1 (your guide, but with a ground-config-image from netdirect dedicated-server) and ISP 2.3

Everything went fine, no errors in log, well, but web-ftp is not possible. Something else that could be responsible?

 

What's in /etc/hosts? What's the output of

Code:

iptables -L

?
Did you change anything in the ISPConfig sources or something similar? Is maybe the ISPConfig web interface running with PHP Safe Mode enabled or something like that?

 

Code:

Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination
Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination
Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)

Wie kontrolliere ich den Save Mode?

 

Please change

127.0.0.1 localhost

to

Code:

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost

 

same issue with that...maybe I use too long passwords or something else stupid that doesn't let me in?

I will (if that's ok) put some logs etc. as attachment (postfix puts out something I'm not shure, if it's an error, like "terminating on signal 15")

Actually, folder "/home/ftp" has user:group = ftp:nogroup, should that maybe nouser:nogroup?

EDIT: A hint for local-host-names..I added the 2 domains at the bottom, because I have these as reverse DNS for my other 2 IP's....is that ok?

EDIT: Attachments deleted! Case fixed!

 

...this post only for the rest of files

EDIT: and a question...can I stop pftpd sending error-message to root, if it detects, that ftp server isn't running? this seems to be just because i configured it to be "standalone", am I right? but now i get every 30 minutes the error-mail without having a real error...

EDIT: Attachments deleted! Case fixed!

 

This message is sent to you by ISPConfig, not Proftpd.
You can change this behaviour under Management -> Server -> Services -> Monitoring.

 

So, for this issue I would just add a rule for port 21 not to monitor ftp-server...right? THX, that's easy

Any idea for some of the other stuff? Seems that the only file getting viewed is ftpuser, LOL

EDIT: PS: Would there be something I might have to change in the standard Firewall-Rules, if turned On, so that Outlook with Imap-Account will not bring up an error, or shouldn't this have happened in a normal configuration?

If the monitoring actually is a feature that sends mail to root, then why is aliases originally not edited for ISPConfig-Admin to receive the mails? I put mailadress manually in there for all system-messages...but I didn'T know, that ISPConfig uses this entrances too; so otherwise I wouldn't have gotten any warning-mail...correct...?

The warning is not sended to an real mailaccount without editing aliases (because there it get's to user root), just to explain,!

 

You must open port 143 in your firewall (and 995 if you want to use IMAPs).

You can set the admin email address under Management -> Server -> Settings. The default address is root@localhost.
