try remove /etc/init.d/proftpd (or rename with .1) and rebuild proftpd server.

First did "mv /etc/init.d/proftpd /etc/init.d/proftpd.1

Then

No go. Now make on ./build proftpd gets an error.

You have pure-ftpd installed as well as proftpd. Something is missconfigured in your setup.

Check to see if you installed pure-ftpd from yum or apt-get and remove it.

[splitech]

We do not use or have pure-ftpd installed.

Not sure why its talking about pure-ftpd then.

cd /usr/local/directadmin/scripts

Try the scsi way on post #6 and let us know.

Same problem.

Restarting ProFTPd.

Here's the weird part. If i change port 21 in the proftpd.conf file to port 2121 proftpd starts and clients can connect to both port 21 and port 2121.

server:/etc/init.d# lsof -i :21
COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE NODE NAME
proftpd 21169 ftp 1u IPv6 41892511 TCP *:ftp (LISTEN)
server:/etc/init.d# lsof -i :2121
COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE NODE NAME
proftpd 21169 ftp 0u IPv6 41892510 TCP *:iprop (LISTEN)
server:/etc/init.d#

But when /etc/init.d/proftpd stop

LSOF shows nothing as if its not running for both port 21 or port 2121.

[SeLLeRoNe]

Try kill manually:



killall -9 proftpd
/usr/local/directadmin/custombuild/build proftpd

[scsi]

If this doesnt work you should have someone check your server.



perl -pi -e 's/proftpd=ON/proftpd=OFF/' /usr/local/directadmin/data/admin/services.status
perl -pi -e 's/pureftp=1/pureftp=0/' /usr/local/directadmin/conf/directadmin.conf
ps xua | grep -i proftpd | grep -v grep | awk '{print $2}' | xargs kill

wget -O /etc/init.d/proftpd "http://files.directadmin.com/services/custombuild/proftpd_debian"
chmod 755 /etc/init.d/proftpd

mv /etc/proftpd.conf /etc/proftpd.conf.bak

cd /usr/local/directadmin/scripts
./proftpd.sh

cd /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild
./build update
./build clean
./build proftpd d



You should merge any changes back to your /etc/proftpd.conf when done or if it doesnt work just replace /etc/proftpd.conf with /etc/proftpd.conf.bak

me too. When I compiled the proftpd to 1.3.4a, one of the DA server fails to start

I have checked there are no other proftpd process running.

Please help.

finally, as a workaround, I fall back to ProFTPd 1.3.3e at the moment, simply

vi /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild/versions.txt

proftpd:1.3.3e:f7a40961b7b677961659632386292fb0

./build proftpd d

It resumes as usual but running with ProFTPd 1.3.3e

/etc/init.d/proftpd: line 37: 20627 Segmentation fault $BINARYI've seen that error recently on a client's box.

In his case, the cause was the server IP being present in the /etc/proftpd.vhosts.conf file, in a VirtualHost.
The server IP must not exist in the /etc/proftpd.vhosts.conf file.

As for how it got there was beyond my knowledge, but my guess would be that the server IP was not label "status=server" when an ftp account was created to it.
Perhaps it was a half-migrated server, I'm not too sure.

In any case:
1) Make sure the server IP does not exist in /etc/proftpd.vhosts.conf. Delete the VirtualHost if it exists.

2) Check your /etc/hosts file. Make sure your hostname resolves to your server IP, and not some other IP.

3) Check:
/usr/local/directadmin/data/admin/ips/1.2.3.4

for your server IP, and make sure it shows "status=server"

The other alternative is to convert the works over to the unified_ftp_password_file format, where all passwords are in /etc/proftpd.passwd, and the proftpd.vhosts.conf is not needed (will be empty).

See:
http://www.directadmin.com/features.php?id=1134

All new DA installs will have this option enabled.
