Hi, I finally got ProFTPD installed. I used the RPMS which are found on it's site: proftpd-1.2.8rc1-1.i386.rpm and proftpd-inetd-1.2.8rc1-1.i386.rpm Now did i install the right things? Im using SuSE8.1 pro. I went into Webmin and clicked the ProFTPD tab and it actually works...it goes in w/ out any errors. Then i see the "Start" button at the bottom and when i click it i get: Failed to start FTP server: You cannot start the server daemon when in inetd mode. Well how do i get out of this mode? What is it? Was I wrong in downloading the inetd file and installing it? Thanks for the help. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful.

You actually have 2 versions installed, most likely the inet version over top of the standard version. If you do not want to run the inet version I suggest you use rpm to uninstall it (rpm -e proftpd-inetd) then try to run (rpm -e proftpd) When you have that done just run the rpm proftpd-1.2.8rc1-1.i386.rpm and you should be fine...You may need the proftpd-common rpm also ----- Original Message ----- From: "w.h." <vb...@ya...> To: <web...@li...> Sent: Wednesday, January 29, 2003 9:11 PM Subject: ProFTPD wont start! > Hi, > > I finally got ProFTPD installed.

I did the thing you said and it cleared/uninstalled ProFTPD and Inetd. I went ahead and double checked in webmin to make sure it was gone and it was. After that i installed ProFTPD-1.2.8rc1 again and it went well. I then checked it w/ webmin and now the ProFTPd tab was working but the start button was not. Now...im I supposed to download ProFTPD-standalone-1.2.8rc1.rpm as well?? I did anyways and it wouldnt install because it needs the a file called: chkconfig or something and i dont have that. I canceled the installation so it doesnt mess it the proftpd installation up. Now i couldnt find the ProFTPD-common rpm though...i looked through about 3-4 ftp sites and none had it. Btw, when i have just the proftd installed, i try going to the config file to edit through webmin but its a blank sheet. Am i installing it wrong?

I'm not sure where you've been getting ProFTPD RPMs; the sets I've seen include proftpd-{version}, proftpd-inetd-{version}, and proftpd-standalone-{version}. All may be installed, but it's somewhat pointless to have both -inetd and -standalone as I'm not aware of any way to specify a configuration file.

As for what's required for -standalone, it *does* appear to require chkconfig- as do a number of other core system packages. If you're missing chkconfig on a RedHat box, something is very wrong. Install it; it's a useful tool to have to maintain the symlinks in the /etc/rc.* trees. ProFTPD has three main parts I'm aware of: the core program and internal libraries, documentation, logrotate and PAM configurations; the "standalone" frontend configuration file and /etc/rc.d setup; and the "inetd" frontend configuration file and automagical setup for inetd. (Note that the inetd setup doesn't know about xinetd; this may have changed in recent versions. YMMV.) The core and one of the other two are both REQUIRED to function correctly. -kgd -- Money is overrated. |

Hi, I installed Chkconfig.rpm and it standalone worked fine but when i try to "start" the server i get : Failed to start FTP server: sh: line1:/etc/init.d/proftpd: No such file or directory I see the config file and it says standalone for the server type...so whats wrong?

I was > wondering if this is still the case and if anyone is working on it. Jamie has said that he might consider a "Virtualmin", and the list discussed possible ways for those of us that want such a thing could fund the development (this is a big project in the man months time range--asking for this isn't like asking for new OS support, or even a whole new module, thus it was the general feeling of the list that those who want it ought to pay for it). Several options were dicussed, including making it commercial software. My vote laid on the side of keeping it open but releasing it as ransomware, releasing pieces of the puzzle as monetary milestones were reached. Every new feature gets a new milestone, and people keep adding money to the pot until the milestone is paid for. Thus if the pot never fills, we never see the software and Jamie doesn't waste his time developing something that people talk loud about but don't actually support. Other suggestions were made, though I don't recall them all at the moment. (I'll also mention that I'll commit without hesitation to donating $500 to get the ball rolling, in the event Jamie does decide to write "Virtualmin" under an Open Source license. Money where my mouth is, and that sort of thing...And that's just a starting bid. ;-) I've just consulted with the handy mailing list search, which now works excellently thanks to an upgrade to Perlfect Search, and the entire original thread was revealed: http://www.swelltech.com/pipermail/webmin-l-archive/2002-December/thread.html#13228 and: http://www.swelltech.com/pipermail/webmin-l-archive/2002-December/thread.html#13228 A fine bunch of posts by a fine bunch of folks, and there is no reason to rehash it just yet--let Jamie come around to the idea first.

I think most of us (me being a member of us :) ) would be willing to throw in a few bucks. A piece of software like this would be better than anything out there now as far as cPanel, Ensim, etc. Everyone has their favorites, mine is one that doesn't take over our entire system, which is why I use Webmin instead of say, Hosting Controller. > -----Original Message----- > From: web...@li... > [mailto:web...@li...] On Behalf > Of Joe Cooper > Sent: Friday, January 31, 2003 3:04 AM > To: web...@li... > Subject: Virtualmin (was Re: ProFTPD wont start!) > > (I'll also mention that I'll commit without hesitation to > donating $500 > to get the ball rolling, in the event Jamie does decide to write > "Virtualmin" under an Open Source license.

Not to sound mean but this is a list for Webmin, not for Proftp but we are all nice people so we are trying to help. Most RPM's are built for general usage and not for specific OS unless the person creating the RPM mentions what OS it is for. www.rpmfind.net usually has rpm's for individual OS types but I personally have never noticed any for SUSE. This still does not guarantee that the RPM will still be correct. To give you an idea of what I mean, there was a very big difference in the directory structure between version 7.0 and 7.3 of Redhat which makes running certain RPM's a pain. I personally use 8.0 Redhat and still find myself tweaking RPM's after installation on rare occasions > Failed to start FTP server : /etc/init.d/proftpd: line > 19: /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions: No such file or > directory Now, the first rule of any troubleshooting is to carefully read the error and/or logs (if any) and applying basic logic, in reading this failure message this tells me that your version of SUSE does not carry the functions program or the function program is located in a different spot then where the startup script is expecting to find it. You could search for this and then change the path in the startup script to point to it OR if you cannot find it just put a pound symbol (#) in front of the line(s) that call this function in the proftp script. (probably 2 or 3 lines) Bill |

let's see if proftpd is there and working ;) # which proftpd should either give you the location of proftpd or something like: which: no proftpd in (/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin) if the second... check in some places like /usr/sbin or /sbin or /usr/local/sbin once you are sure you have proftpd... try: /path-to/proftpd -c /etc/proftpd.conf & (assuming that /etc/proftpd.conf is the location of the proftpd configuration file)... check if that works... if it does... you know that proftpd works in your system... then, you will need to be sure that will start at bootup!... check your init.d script.. and check the lines that others already sugested ! or... (not really a nice solution, but perhaps wold work for you)... move/erase references to proftpd in the init.d... and create proftpd as a boot action via webmin! (you'll find it in "system"... and I supose that's cover in Joe Cooper's book!) Good luck! Cheers!

I just did all that you said to do and it says i have proftpd but its looking for Functions. So the people at webmin dont get mad ill stop talking about proftpd and thanks for your help. Im going to attempt installing from source now...ya i know. :) Thanks everyone.

(not really a nice solution, but perhaps wold work for you)... move/erase references to proftpd in the init.d... and create proftpd as a boot action via webmin! (you'll find it in "system"... and I supose that's cover in Joe Cooper's book!) Good luck! Cheers!

What is it? > Was I wrong in downloading the inetd file and > installing it? You need to add proftpd to your inetd.conf. Like: ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd in.proftpd then reload your inetd. Or, switch to standalone mode from Webmin. Change "Server type" to "Stand-alone daemon." in the Proftpd Server Networking Options configuration. -- Jay Swackhamer <js...@ne...> Nebularis Inc <http://www.nebularis.com> Tel: 1-613-843-9358 Fax: 1-613-825-5960 |

This worked but in case anyone was following this thread FWIW I did not realize the NIST time servers will return the correct time based on the timezone for the client machine. In all likelyhood the NIST servers query the client machines for date timezone and format and/or locale information. In any case this worked and thanx again, David. |
