I have cPanel running on a server which was working until it magically stopped allowing FTP logins via Pure-FTPD. It won't even allow Pure-FTPD to be started up. It gives the following error:
Starting pure-config.pl: Running: /usr/local/sbin/pure-ftpd -O clf:/var/log/xferlog --daemonize -A -c50 -B -C8 -D -E -fftp -H -I15 -lextauth

/usr/local/sbin/pure-ftpd: invalid option -- O
421 Unknown authentication method: extauth:/var/run/ftpd.sock
[FAILED]
I've tried upgrading cPanel, downgrading cPanel, forcing a reinstall, swapping to Pro-FTPD (doesn't allow login either) and back, but nothing seems to repair it.
Does anyone else have any ideas or experienced a similar issue?
i tried everything i know and reinstalled my vps more than 5 times for the last 24hrs but i'm out of luck. Pure-ftpd would not start what ever i do.
Also lxadmin installation gives me the following error:
Downloading Installappdata pure-ftpd: unrecognized service unlink: cannot unlink `/usr/bin/lxsuexec': No such file or directory unlink: cannot unlink `/usr/bin/lxexec': No such file or directory mv: cannot stat `/sbin/udevd': No such file or directory rm: cannot remove `/dev/pts/0': Operation not permitted
I've run a pure-ftpd-server privetley and haven't bothered to chroot the enviroment since I only used it myself when I needed files remotley. Now on request of my school and work buddies I've started hosting a website which they are to manage and through my ftp-server add / remove the site's different files.
I know how to start it with chrooted enviroment but everytime I reboot it, which I usually don't need to anyway, it starts unchrooted so I manually have to kill the ftp-daemon and start it with my customised parameters.
Is there a way to change the init.d/pure-ftpd-conf or something to start with my customised options? i.e with the chroot-option turned on.
I am just in the process of finish off setting up my first cPanel server but I am having the follow problems when connecting to FTP:

The server is behind a firewall, I can connect to the FTP via VPN but I cant connect via the remote IP, any ideas?
I know cPanel is designed for NAT but I have worked around this, the FTP is the only issue,
I have too many connection from 202.96.5.29 through pure-ftpd:
PHP Code:

Is there a way to disable the temporary filename, for instance when I upload a file via ftp, the filename becomes .pureftp-24213421423. It returns back to the original filename when you abord the transfer or when it's completed.
I have a slight problem with one user trying to upload with FTP to the server. The problem is, if he is uploading a file that will take awhile... his FTP connection will be dropped if he visits his site during the transfer.
Me and a few others have tried duplicating the problem with no success. Our uploads do not get stopped. Anyhow, I took a guess that maybe it was a problem with APF our software based firewall. I turned it off for a few minutes, and then the users problems dissappeared.
I turned on full logging in APF, and had the user try yet again. Here is the output:
The 17:23:44listings is the exact time he visited his site during the upload. The weird part is the Timeout message at that same exact time. No new data for 900 seconds...
Anyhow, I don't really want to post the full apf.conf if I don't have to... So can anyone take a guess at what APF rule might be causing the problem?
Also, why would it only be affecting 1 client when all the rest can visit their site while uploading?
I've been running pure-ftpd for around 4 months now without any problems, until around 24-48 hours ago file upload has been going a bit loopy.
When you upload a file the speed bounces considerably, and at times pauses on 0kbps until it then dies and fails the upload. 9/10 uploads I have tried have failed.
[R] Opening data connection IP: 74.86.20.181 PORT: 35283 [R] LIST -al [R] 150 Accepted data connection [R] 226-Options: -a -l [R] 226 6 matches total [R] List Complete: 374 bytes in 0.64 seconds (0.6 KB/s) Transfer queue completed 1 File failed to transfer [R] Connection lost: chacha We have restarted pure-ftpd a number of times, but have had no luck.
Please could you try and upload a file (at least 10mb and please nothing dodgey) to this FTP account:
Timezone on server is set to GMT -5 EDT My timezone is GMT -5 EDT
Yet filezilla 3.x ftp client connected to my server's pure-ftpd server offsets time on transferred files by an hour, saying now at 8:52 that the file was uploaded to the server at 9:52.
WHM and uptime, etc. at the SSH prompt show server time correct, matching my own time.
If I connect locally to pure-ftp via the server shell ftp, I get Connected to localhost. 220---------- Welcome to Pure-FTPd [TLS] ---------- 220-You are user number 1 of 50 allowed. 220-Local time is now 20:52. Server port: 21.
which matches
$ uptime 20:52:28
The filezilla forums however indicate the problem is due to some "non-standards compliant setup" of my ftp server.
[url]
Quote:
As required in RFC 3659 [url]FileZilla assumed MDTM returns timestamps in UTC. Based on the timestamp return in the LIST reply and the corresponding MDTM reply, it calculates the timezone offset of the server.
Obviously this fails on broken or misconfigured servers.
I can assure you that it works fine on all standards-compliant servers.
Is there something I can tweak with pure-ftpd, or is this a Filezilla 3 bug?
Today I tried to setup pure-ftpd server on slackware linux and managed to do that I also enabled virtual users feature, but when I log in to ftp as virtual user I cannot create any dirs or change dirs.
My question is - how do I enable for virtual user: deleting, changing, renaming, creating files, dirs in his home ftp directory?
Are you using any kind of external firewalling? I have enabled the passive ports in pure-ftpd and attempted to connect in passive mode, but it still fails.
and
Howdy,
You should allow connections on 30000 through 50000 for passive ftp
I have a problem with my server: all my websites are shown correctly but when I try to login to the website's cpanel I get an "Unable to connect" page.
I tried to restart named and httpd but still no results.
If I restart my server I know that it will be fixed but I would like to see what I can do before restarting the whole server
My server ran out of space lastnight which resulting in a MySQL shutdown on the server. After getting some of the stuff on the server moved to another one and MySQL back on, I cannot login to my Plesk panel. It worked fine before MySQL went down and of course wouldn't work at all (Even comeup) while MySQL was down. Now when I go to login, I get the correct login screen and fields and type in my stuff. After hitting enter, I get the following message:
all the database in the server stop if i make a restart its giveing me that msg' :
Code: /usr/bin/mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed error: 'Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)' Check that mysqld is running and that the socket: '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' exists! mysql has failed, please contact the sysadmin (result was "Warning, no valid mysql.sock file found.mysql has failed").
I have an office internal website and I opened a port in the gateway of my office (7080) to this website (server )'s 80 port. That makes this website open to public as office has static IP. And then when I view the site from home . it's fine. But when I tried to login, the site is using a pop-up, I guess it's http authentciation, login, I was redirected to a url without my port number any more, that stops my access to the site as obviously I would.
For some reason mysql wont start, i have tried restarting mysql but it wont, it says FAILED. The mysql.sock file seems to have disappeared and i cannot find it anywhere.
I have checked some ftp failure login attempt made but when i check log file but only see real ip address which is external ip address but i want to trace main ip so anyone tell me howto trace that ip address.
When I look around almost all offers are webhosting as Dedicated or Managed servers with PHP, MxySQL and so on.
What I need is (big) pure backup space which must be at least accessible by (reliable and pretty fast but not absolute ultar-high-speed) ftp server (which supports resuming of ftp-sessions).
Needed space: 200 GB
Traffic per month: 200-500 GB (can be at night)
(only) Nice to have (but not absolutely required):
- TLS/SSL Encryption for ftp - 2-5 more ftp accounts (sharing the same space) - crontab and perl scripts - WebDav
