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

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
AnonymousCanCreateDirs ChrootEveryone DisplayDotFiles FSCharset MaxClientsNumber MaxIdleTime NoAnonymous PAMAuthentication ProhibitDotFilesWrite TLS UnixAuthentication

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

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
