VPS Would Not Start Pure-ftpd
May 16, 2009
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

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
:/var/run/ftpd.sock -L2000:8 -m4 -s -U133:022 -u100 -Oxferlog:/usr/local/apache/domlogs/ftpxferlog -k99 -Z -Y1
/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 am not 100% sure if i am going to be able to describe the problem, but i hope someone will get an idea what i am talking about.
I have pure-ftpd installed on my server.
In one of the folders in my public_html i have more then 10 000 files.
When i ftp to my username using FlashFXP i am unable to list more then 1998 files.
Does it have to do anything with passive ports range or?
what port range should i use, and how should i enter it in /etc/sysconfig/iptables.

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.

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,

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:
address: chacha.99k.org
user: chacha@99k.org
pass: password
And output the result.
Does anyone here have experience with pure-ftpd and would possibly consider giving my system a "once over"?

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.
But connecting via filezilla 3 I get:
Status: Calculating timezone offset of server...
Command:MDTM .htaccess
Response:213 20080208013750
Status:Timezone offsets: Server: -18000 seconds. Local: -14400 seconds. Difference: 3600 seconds.
Status: Directory listing successful
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?

Howdy,
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

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

I had what I thought was a fairly smooth install via yum of Pure-FTP on a Fedora 7 SELinux server. I configured it to use it's own PureDB virtual user system, and I added a few users using # pure-pw useradd to test things out. However, upon successfully logging in...
[21:51:34] USER test1
[21:51:34] 331 User test1 OK. Password required
[21:51:34] PASS (hidden)
[21:51:34] Cannot login waiting to retry (30s)...
[21:51:34] Server closed connection...so, I check /var/log/messages to find...

Jul 31 21:50:25 homeserve pure-ftpd: (?@192.168.0.134) [ERROR] Home directory not available - aborting
Clearly, something is awry. When I created the users, I explicitly specified their home directory using pure-pw's -d flag, and I can confirm that it was entered correctly by viewing the /etc/pure-ftpd/pureftpd.passwd. The directories, of course, do exist with the proper permissions and ownership.

Simultaneous FTP User Question - Cpanel/WHM/Pure-FTP, Dual Xeon 2.4, 1gRAM, Dedicated
Does the following dedicated server spec throw any flags for you when considering our intended future use?
DEDICATED SERVER SPEC
Dual Xeon 2.40 ghz.
1 gig RAM
INTENDED FUTURE USE
- We currently host 300 low volume websites on the server.
- We only use 40 gigs of data bandwidth per month. (1000 allotted)
- We developed a new software product that allows auto-updates 300kb of data each day.
- We expect up to 500 people to use this software and need to access our FTP daily, at different times of the day (random).
- We plan to embed the FTP information into the software.
The FTP access will be transparent to the user.
Does our dedicated server sound like it could handle this? My guess is yes.

Recently left a big corporate job and started my own consulting firm in the area of human resources/employee benefits. Right now, my technology consists of a laptop with online backup through Carbonite. I am ILLITERATE when it comes to technology, so bear with me please....
BackgroundThe business plan calls for growth by adding a small number of employees, starting with an assistant, along with working with independent contractors. These will each need to have access to the files that now reside on my hard drive. I don't anticipate more than 6 people (employees and/or contractors, combined) in the first year.
In addition to the shared access described above, I would need to be sure that the environment where files are stored is highly secure, and that I can grant access to files to some people and not others.
In addition to the above, I need to ensure that all the data are backed up routinely.
Employees/contractors will likely not be in the same office location where I am located, and some (most) may work from a home office.
My assistant, when hired, may/may not be in my office. Regardless, (s)he will need to have access to (and make changes to) my contacts and calendar in outlook. In addition, (s)he will need to be able to read and send emails on my behalf.
AT&T, as part of my advertising with them in the Yellow Pages, is developing (and will host) my website. Included in their service will be email boxes (up to 20) with my domain name.
Business Need
Based on these points, I figured I needed to buy a server, so I've been talking with Dell. Of course, they'll sell me a server and they have a relationship with All Covered who will install it and make sure its operational.
But after talking wtih Dell, I learned that there was something called managed hosting, colocated hosting, dedicated hosting, and shared hosting. I called Rackspace, they said they would be overkill for what I needed and referred me to Mosso. Mosso said the same thing, and sent me to this site.

While i have loads a experience running servers remotely, I know to start my own ISP is a bit more costly and involves things like rack servers, temperature controled rooms and BANDWIDTH.
I have handle on 1st two, ( and yes htings like insurance and a store are looked after )
What i need are a list of T3 providers that I can contact about purchasing a dedicated T3 line for our store. While the location isn't yet set in stone and i may in fact look at a existing computer store owner who may be open to the idea already.
The company will host local websites, and others websites.
AND allow for reselling on a lessor level and include at least 6 others who host game servers.
With these 6 the T3 line will probably be almost half used, so the ISP must be scalable for growth.
The thing i need in nut shell are pricing on a T3 line of my own in or close to downtown Oshawa Ontario, Canada
