pure-ftpd virtual user issue

All virtual users of pure-ftpd can't login although I configured them without any error message!

Login error message:

Code:

Hi,

There is no "-lpuredb:/etc/pureftpd.pdb" among the other runtime options.
As this looks like a debian box, have a look at this howto for details

Regards

How can I add it?
I tried to add it through but nothing changed!

Code:

mbnoimi@mbnoimi-pc ~ $ sudo pure-pw mkdb

mbnoimi@mbnoimi-pc ~ $ sudo pure-pw list

test                /home/ftpusers/./      

mbnoimi@mbnoimi-pc ~ $ ls -R /etc/pure-ftpd/

/etc/pure-ftpd/:

auth  conf  db  pureftpd-dir-aliases  pureftpd.passwd  pureftpd.pdb



/etc/pure-ftpd/auth:

65unix  70pam



/etc/pure-ftpd/conf:

AltLog                  AutoRename      CreateHomeDir    DontResolve  KeepAllFiles      MaxClientsPerIP  MinUID      NoChmod            ProhibitDotFilesRead  PureDB  Umask

I took a look and applied what it says but I got nothing!!!

mbnoimi-pc mbnoimi # pure-pw useradd test1 -u ftpuser -d /home/ftpusers/test1

Enter it again: 

mbnoimi-pc mbnoimi # pure-pw show test1

PS
I want to use virtual users

I'm not running Debian, but according to the howto, you need to disable PAM and (maybe) Unix auth
Also you have to create a symlink

Code:

#cd /etc/pure-ftpd/auth

#ln -s ../conf/PureDB 50pure

Doh.
Try to run it directly from CLI:

Code:

/usr/sbin/pure-ftpd -l -j -x -X -C 3 -Y 0 -H -Ipuredb:/etc/pureftpd.pdb 5 -R -E -u 1000 -U 007:007 -A -O clf:/var/log/pure-ftpd/transfer.log -8 UTF-8 -c 10 -B

and see what you get

Code:

mbnoimi-pc mbnoimi # /usr/sbin/pure-ftpd -l -j -x -X -C 3 -Y 0 -H -Ipuredb:/etc/pureftpd.pdb 5 -R -E -u 1000 -U 007:007 -A -O clf:/var/log/pure-ftpd/transfer.log -8 UTF-8 -c 10 -B

421 Unknown authentication method: -j

mbnoimi-pc mbnoimi # /usr/sbin/pure-ftpd -l -x -X -C 3 -Y 0 -H -Ipuredb:/etc/pureftpd.pdb 5 -R -E -u 1000 -U 007:007 -A -O clf:/var/log/pure-ftpd/transfer.log -8 UTF-8 -c 10 -B

421 Unknown authentication method: -x

mbnoimi-pc mbnoimi # /usr/sbin/pure-ftpd -l -X -C 3 -Y 0 -H -Ipuredb:/etc/pureftpd.pdb 5 -R -E -u 1000 -U 007:007 -A -O clf:/var/log/pure-ftpd/transfer.log -8 UTF-8 -c 10 -B

421 Unknown authentication method: -X

mbnoimi-pc mbnoimi # /usr/sbin/pure-ftpd -l -C 3 -Y 0 -H -Ipuredb:/etc/pureftpd.pdb 5 -R -E -u 1000 -U 007:007 -A -O clf:/var/log/pure-ftpd/transfer.log -8 UTF-8 -c 10 -B

421 Unknown authentication method: -C

mbnoimi-pc mbnoimi # /usr/sbin/pure-ftpd -l -Y 0 -H -Ipuredb:/etc/pureftpd.pdb 5 -R -E -u 1000 -U 007:007 -A -O clf:/var/log/pure-ftpd/transfer.log -8 UTF-8 -c 10 -B

421 Unknown authentication method: -Y

mbnoimi-pc mbnoimi #

My bad. I left an extra -l, sorry

Code:

/usr/sbin/pure-ftpd -j -x -X -C 3 -Y 0 -H -Ipuredb:/etc/pureftpd.pdb 5 -R -E -u 1000 -U 007:007 -A -O clf:/var/log/pure-ftpd/transfer.log -8 UTF-8 -c 10 -B

Where is pureftpd.pdb located? Note that you need to use that location in /etc/pure-ftpd/conf/PureDB
Also, are you sure about the user/password? Change it with:

Code:

pure-pw passwd test

pure-pw mkdb

and try to login again

You can also run the server with less options and in debug mode to check virtual users. Use the correct location of pureftpd.pdb below:

Code:

/usr/sbin/pure-ftpd -I puredb:/etc/pure-ftpd/pureftpd.pdb -x -E -j -R -d

That's what I saw and understood that we're using the wrong file

If you can't stop it, you can kill it

OK I succefully killed it and run it (as shown below) then tried to login once again but nothing changes.

Code:
