change proftpd to pureftpd with ispconfig
Hi,
I'm having real problems with proftpd and ispconfig. It's really slow to login then keeps dropping me off. I've tried changing the timeouts etc to no effect at all. I have had my server working ok but I think it was pureftpd but I changed following a tutorial. How easy would it be to change to pureftpd preferably without losing all my current logins? Can i run them concurrently? Like turn proftpd off while i try pureftpd? Any advice would be great. Cheers |
just disable proftpd, and enable pureftpd
It depends on the distribution how to do this. |
i'm using centos so i presume just /etc/init.d/proftpd stop??
I'm not great on this so if i'm wrong if you could let me know that'd be fantastic! Cheers for the help |

but once i've stopped it i can just install pureftpd? which i think is on the yum package manager anyway?
Cheers |
to disable proftpd at boot
Code:
chkconfig proftpd off Code:
chkconfig --level 3 pureftpd on Code:
service proftpd stop |
nice one cheers will give it a shot
|
ok that all seems good. Apart from all my logins are now not working. Is there a way to make them work in pure-ftpd.
Really appreciate your help. |
how are logins setup in proftpd ?
|
i'm actually not sure. I set up a user in ispconfig and it works. I had thought it was just the system users? I can't see anything in either of the proftpd.conf or ispconfig_proftpd.conf files.
Cheers |
normally users should be able to login.
|
currently in filezilla i'm getting a 530 login incorrect. Which is really annoying as it is trying to login way quicker than proftpd. I shouldn't have to point pure-ftpd towards my ispconfig set up should i?
|
ok i'm getting somewhere. I uncommented UnixAuthenication and now it getting a bit further. It gets to command PASS ******* on filezilla then hangs then gives "connection timed out".
Any more ideas folks? Thanks again |
try to change the mode in the ftp client
passive =>active or vice versa |
sadly the same result both times. It seems to recognise the user but not the password.
|
any pointers in the logfiles?
|
just bumping this in case anyone has any ideas this morning. Cheers
|
What log files should I be looking at on centos? And where would they be. Can't see anything in the pureftpd folder.
Cheers |

/var/log/* Also, try to make a connection using the CLI Code:
ftp <IP> Code:
ftp 127.0.0.1 |
the log 'pureftpd.log' seems to be totally empty and when I try ftp from the server i get 'command not found' If i try to ftp the IP address of the server from filezilla I can only get in anonymously as soon as I add a password i can't get anywhere.
It must me something to do with my pure-ftpd conf file?? Thanks |
right i found a log file in /var/log/messages it just says authentication failed. However I know the password to be correct. I assume ispconfig sets up a unix user? I'm pretty sure pro-ftpd wasn't working from a mysql database.
|
Ended up with vsftpd - that seemed to work first time and has solved all the slow logins and timeouts that i had with proftpd.
Thanks for all your help folks. |
