DreamweaverN Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 I think this might help. I am pretty sure it is the problem I had, very annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JadeWolf324 Posted January 21, 2004 Author Share Posted January 21, 2004 that is the exact problem...how do i fix this?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamweaverN Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 Try this and this but I found this to work all the time: That means that another process is already running as an FTP server. use "fuser -n tcp 21" to find the process-id(s) that are using it. Use "ps -awlx | grep process-id-number" to find out what that process is, and deal with it accordingly. Try the other 2 links if that doesn't work. They deal with killing off a few lock files.

JadeWolf324 Posted January 21, 2004 Author Share Posted January 21, 2004 i removed proftpd and am not reinstalling...this makes absolutely no sense why its not working. im willing to give webmin access for someone to fix this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamweaverN Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 I don't think you can do it via webmin, unless you use the Telnet in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JadeWolf324 Posted January 21, 2004 Author Share Posted January 21, 2004 screw proftpd. in the spirit of linux, i replaced it with a better server :D...check it out: Name: pure-ftpd Version: 1.0.16-1mdk Size: 487 KB Summary: Lightweight, fast and secure FTP server Description: Pure-FTPd is a fast, production-quality, standard-comformant FTP server, based upon Troll-FTPd. Unlike other popular FTP servers, it has no known security flaw, it is really trivial to set up and it is especially designed for modern Linux and FreeBSD kernels (setfsuid, sendfile, capabilities) . Features include PAM support, IPv6, chroot()ed home directories, virtual domains, built-in LS, anti-warez system, bandwidth throttling, FXP, bounded ports for passive downloads, UL/DL ratios, native LDAP and SQL support, Apache log files and more. worked OUT OF THE BOX. proving it was proftpd's fault not mine.

MrStaticVoid Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 Pure-FTPd is the shiznit! It is so easy to set up virtual users on it and all of the settings are done with command line switches. It's my favorite FTP server...yum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

holgr Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 Do you use a VirtualHost directive and get a "address already in use" message? Had that problem too, but found a patch in proftpd.org's bugzilla... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+BudMan MVC Posted January 22, 2004 MVC Share Posted January 22, 2004 so how do u modify the motd in pure-ftpd? i cant seem to figure it out... * Initial banner. -> How do I display a customized message before the login prompt? Compile with --with-cookie and run the server with -F <file name> . In that file, put a nice customized banner message. # if pure-ftpd has been compiled --with-cookie, you can supply a # fortune file with witty quotes or just a MOTD here: # --fortunesfile /usr/share/games/fortune/zippy What can you not figure out about this?

+BudMan MVC Posted January 22, 2004 MVC Share Posted January 22, 2004 so then i just need to stick a .banner file in that /var/ folder? What /var folder? You can point to whatever file you want, looks to me with either a flag when you start the server - or in the config file, etc.. What is the /var folder you are talking about?
