FTP Issues

[Adam Gilbert]

Hia (again)!

After fixing the actual webserver vHost part of froxlor, I have another issue. FTP seems to have some weird issues. I have tried ProFTPd and PureFTPd. Neither are working. I'm currently trying the latter. When I try to connect, I get the following in FileZilla:

Status:	Disconnected from server
Status:	Resolving address of panel.theendlessweb.com
Status:	Connecting to 35.185.82.19:21...

I'm not sure if this is a misconfiguration or what.... (im fairly new to FTP)

Any help is greatly appreciated

P.S. their are no PureFTPd logs.

try proftpd, there's also config-templates for a certificate to be generated and tls works out of the box. You can also enable debugging and see whats wrong

How do you engage the debuging?

I have the same errors.

Wishing there was better documentation on the project.

Tried FTP, SFTP, tried a new ftp account.

I have checked the ports. 21,22,25,53,80,110,143 all open

web, subdomains all work.

also tried this.

root@dev:/var/www/froxlor/scripts# telnet localhost 21
Trying ::1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.

Has nothing to do with froxlor...works for me out-of-the-box everytime. See http://www.proftpd.org/docs/howto/Debugging.html for debugging options

[rashantha]

Thanks.

Others are having similar issues. Just a suggestion since it works for you everytime. A step by step guide would make things so helpful and will help with the growth of the project as well.

At least we would have a stepping stone for testing and adjusting...

A pov from the other side.

what step by step guide? I'm just copy and pasting the config templates as shown in "configuration"...NOTHING else...

[rashantha]

I ran the config a second time.

Here's the error in the logs.

 mod_sql/4.3: unrec              overable backend error: (1045) Access denied for user 'froxlor'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

I answered my own question.
