Proftpd has been running OK until recently, when I tried to connect using my laptop. All I get is the proftpd-socket file under /var/run/proftpd/ I cant' find any log files with error messages in them. I have checked /var/log/messages - nothing in there either. I have rebooted the machine after re-installing proftpd. Still it wont start Is there any way to find out why proftpd has decided not to start any more?
View 4 RepliesI just moved my / from sda1 to an ide drive, hde1. i dont see how this could have caused any of these issues, but it did.
First my network card failed to start. i added a line in my rc.local file (where i put all of my additional programs, etc i want to start):/etc/rc.d/rc.inet1
The above now starts my network card with my static ip configured. dhcpcd also worked but i wanted this static.
Now samba will not start. i have the following line in my rc.local: /etc/rc.d/init.d/samba start
This used to work just fine. at first i thought that samba may be trying to start before my network card gets an ip, but the line is *after* the network startup line. just to make sure, i made an additional script called startsamba which contained a sleep 60 followed by samba start, to delay the startup of samba even further.
The message samba reports is very vague, something like failed - core dumped. most of the core dump log is garbage characters, but here is the beginning which seems like it might contain some info:
Code:
ERROR: Can't log to stdout (-S) unless daemon is in foreground (-F) or interactive (-i) after the system starts, i can drop to a console and type "/etc/rc.d/init.d/samba start" and the service starts just fine. i've also tried starting samba manually with "smbd -d" which also produces the core dump when started from rc.local, but not when started from a console after startup.
I am pretty new to Linux and I want to start a ftp server with proftpd. Well sofar I have made one but there is one problem when I login with windows, the computer don't ask for a username and password. Instead he just show some folders from my home directory.
I have used the standard proftpd config file, and tried to change some things with online tutorials but non of them worked with windows (only for linux ftp connections). Can some of you refer me to a good tutorial for a multi user ftp linux server or explane me what to do?
I run Debian 5 64-bit machine with 2 IP-addresses. I installed ProFTPd through init.d instead of standalone but when I start it, it gives the following error:
Code:
ProFTPd warning: cannot start neither in standalone nor in inetd/xinetd mode. Check your configuration.
If I select standalone as servertype through the config, it works good.
Previously, I had this same machine on the same OS with 1 IP-address. I installed ProFTPd and it worked well with init.d . Maybe the 2nd IP is causing it? How can I make it work through init.d without having this error?
I've got a strange problem with firefox on Fedora 14 x86_64, at startup it just shows a dialog with a heading Malformed File and the following description:Firefox could not install this item because "" (provided by the item) is not well-formed or does not exist. Please contact the author about this problem.(see attachment.)there is only an OK button. Pressing it, nothing happens! firefox doesn't come up! I tried firefox --safe-mode,the same dialog pops up but after pressing ok, the "Firefox Safe Mode" dialog shows. No matter what I select on this dialog, firefox simply never comes up! I even created a new user, to try firefox without any addons, but the results are the same! Reinstalling doesn't help also! It has started since last firefox update (firefox-3.6.13-1.fc14.x86_64)

Im trying to install proftpd on my debian server but i get this error
ProFTPd warning: cannot start neither in standalone nor in inetd/xinetd mode.
I've recently installed Proftpd to host for someone for a couple of hours.
With the default config it works however when taken the comments out and edited for anonymous, proftpd fails to start
This is the default config file which works if you have a user and password for my machine, but anonymous wont work (when the comments were removed).
I have set up proftpd many times now one Ubuntu 9.10 and never ran into any problems. I decided to go ahead and do a clean install of the new 10.04 and set everything back up (ie ssh ftp apache... ect)I got done with ssh with no problems and started working on getting proftpd up and running just like I've always have. But now every time I try to login it gets to where it should list all the files in my dir and it just times out. If I connect through my network (192.168.1.101) everything works fine so I dont think its my .conf file.ll ports are open that are needed and I even tried opening up the passive ports to see if that would help but it does not.

After upgrading to v10.60, Opera will not run from the KDE menu. A entry appears in the taskbar and then disappears without opening any window. The entry for Opera in KDE menu has this command:
Code:
/usr/bin/opera %u
If I open a terminal and type "opera" or navigate to /usr/bin and click on the opera script there, it starts up just fine. Seems like it should be simple to fix, but I have tried various entries in the KDE menu ("opera", "opera %u", "/usr/bin/opera") and this same behavior occurs with any of them.
I'm having problems with the ftp-server ProFTPd,If I transfer files from a Linux host to a Windows client, it says that my transfered files are damaged, so I'm unable to open them..I've searched this forum and several people say I have to set the default transfer mode to 'binary' mode.I did that, but it didn't work at all for me... so despite the binary transfer mode my files are still damaged when I transfer them.when I do it through SSH, it works fine, so the problem is the FTP-server...

i have been havin a little trouble with my ftp server im using proftpd and have been able to connect to the box on local lan but it stops with an error about tls packet.
i have been following a guide on settin up my server [URL]...and have attached my config and error details
Proftpd is installed and running fine on 8.04 server. I want to streamline the process of adding users. Adding a ftp user with USERADD fails (user is created but connection fails when trying to connect with ftp client).
Code:
useradd -d /ftp/ftphome/myuser -g ftp -m -p mypassword -s /usr/sbin/nologin myuser
But, ADDUSER works:
Code:
adduser myuser
usermod -d /ftp/ftphome/myuser -g ftp -m -p mypassword -s /usr/sbin/nologin myuser
It's a bother because I want to automate the process, and ADDUSER has all those prompts and asks for the password twice.
I already have my laptop as a server using a LAMP server + proftpd and the FTP->MySQL link up. I built myself a new Headless and set up the SSH and VNC on it and all that good jazz. LAMP works and everything. Proftpd+MySQL (using the proftpd-mod-mysql package from repo) doesn't seem to work on this headless box. So I used the tutorial from [URL]... Thinking "I'm using 10.04 - it's close enough". Both came up with the same error. 421 Service not available when I ftp from the localhost. Is their something I'm missing? the Laptop set up (also 10.04) works groovy fine. Also all the log files are blank.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to install two instances of OCS Inventory on the same machine using virtual hosts in apache. The apache configuration for it is in it's own file and it works fine without any virtual host. If I add it apache refuses to start without giving any error message. I narrowed it down to some lines loading perl modules, and if I comment them away apache will start again. Some of the modules work, but some of the ones specific to OCS Inventory will not work. I can't understand what the difference is between loading it in a virtual host or not, it doesn't make any sense to me!
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am setting up a new server and am in the midst of testing RAID. This is an Ubuntu 9.10 server. RAID1 (/dev/md1) is spread across 12 one-terabyte SCSI disks (/dev/sdi through /dev/sdt). It has four spares configured, each of which are also one-terabyte SCSI drives (/dev/sdu through /dev/sdx). I have been following the instructions on the Linux RAID Wiki ([URL]....
I have already tested the RAID successfully by using mdadm to set a drive faulty. Automatic failover to spare and reconstruction worked like a champ. I am now testing "Force fail by hardware". Specifically, I am following the advice, "Take the system down, unplug the disk, and boot it up again." Well, I did that, and the RAID fails to start. It outright refuses to start. It doesn't seem to notice that a drive is missing. Notably, all the drive letters shift up to fill in the space left by removing a drive. The test I did was to:
[code]....
Is removing a disk from the bus a reasonable test in the first place? Meaning, is this likely to happen in a production environment by other means than a human coming by and yanking out the drive? Meaning, is there a hardware failure that would replicate this event? Because, if so, then I don't know how to recover from it.
After upgrading ubuntu server to the latest version (according to apt-get) proftpd stopped working. When I try to execute proftpd I get the following message (when logged in as root or user with root privileges) :

Code:
I've tried removing and re-installing proftpd, but this doesn't help

Can I remove all modules? or is there a way of fixing the permission denied issue?
How to get compiz to auto-start. What seems to be the generally accepted method (from what a few google searches and the debian wiki tell me) of using gconf-editor and changing the window manager from 'gnome-wm' to 'compiz' in desktop > gnome > session > required_components doesn't change anything. The only method I found that did not involve using a terminal and running 'compiz --replace' every time I boot the computer was to add compiz and fusion-icon to the gnome startup apps, but this causes unwanted flickering (it starts metacity and then replaces it with compiz, ie it's simply automating what I would do with the terminal). Autostarting the fusion-icon alone does not start compiz, although it allows me to start it from it's menu if I right click the icon. Note that I sometimes use fluxbox as well, so starting it on boot isn't really an option either.
Perhaps this can be useful :
compiz:
Installed: 0.8.4-4
Candidate: 0.8.4-4
gnome-session:
Installed: 2.30.2-3
Candidate: 2.30.2-3
I recently acquired an old dell desktop with a pretty decent sized hard drive and installed ubuntu server 11.04 on it. Currently, I am using it as a Web, FTP, Print, and media server.
I would like to also use it as a VPN. I have literally followed 30 guides from the internet and it has not worked.

started setting up my 3rd ubuntu server under the OS of Ubuntu Linux 9.04 64 bit. I have configured the server to allow root access and am using this to execute this file. As you can see from the screenshot of PuTTy, the file exists but is refusing to load up. I am also able to nano the file. I have tried moving the file to /root/ and still had no luck.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have slapd-server running but it seems to refuse connections in a very odd way. Wireshark shows that everytime JavaEE-client tries to connect, only 2 packages are sent. As I understand, in tcp/ip protocol, the first is just "hello, who's there". The last is just a message consisting of ACK and RST. I think RST means "we're done". At this point I don't think any credentials are checked so I don't know what could be wrong
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a machine (lets called it machine 1) with two networks card, eth0 and eth1. Both have static IPs. Once in a while the machine refuses to give access to the Internet via Firefox (eth0 is the route to router). Other machines on the network have no problems accessing the Internet. Eventually the machine would just magically start working again, but this time it just seems to have stayed broken. I've done some simple diagnostics and found:
a) I have another machine running Apache with a Wiki on our network - [URL]. Machine 1 is unable to connect to this Wiki. I get 'the connection has timed out'. I can ping 192.168.1.73 and it responds in the usual fashion.
b) If I try to ping www.google.com it times out with: ping: unknown host www.google.com. I can ping google using its IP address.
c) On machine 1 I have tried traceroute on both www.google.com and its IP and I just get:
1 * * *
2 * * *
And so on until hop 30. Doing this on any other machine on the network works. So while it seems I can ping internally in our network and outside, but when it attempts anything traceroute or URL related it does not work.
Followed "Every Server Setup Imaginable: SMB, SSH, VPN, VNC, HTTPD (+ PHP), MySQL, More! "
