 |
|
I had pure-ftpd working. It was really easy to set up. Now I tried it again and have the following problems:
1) When trying to start from /etc/init.d it says it's already started but nothing is created in /var/run, ps shows nothing and stopping doesn't do anything.
2) When trying to start from commandline with
| Code: | | pure-ftpd -S mydomain.com,21 -C 10 -B -l unix -I 60 -A -E -i -X -G -R |
the logs say | Quote: | | [ERROR] Unable to start a standalone server: [Invalid argument] |
and no process is started.
The only thing I've done that I can find that would have any effect on this is to upgrade from 2.6.0-test11 to 2.6.0 (that can't be it) and emerge and remove gnome.
Here is my /etc/conf.d/pure-ftpd
| Code: | littletimmy /etc # cat conf.d/pure-ftpd | grep -v "#"
IS_CONFIGURED="yes"
SERVER="-S mydomain.com,21"
MAX_CONN="-c 30"
MAX_CONN_IP="-C 10"
DAEMON="-B"
DISK_FULL="-k 90%"
AUTH="-l pam"
TIMEOUT="-I 60"
MISC_OTHER="-A -E -i -X -G -R"
|
Here's my /etc/xinetd.d/pure-ftpd:
| Code: | service ftp
{
socket_type = stream
server = /usr/sbin/pure-ftpd
server_args = -s -a 42
protocol = tcp
user = root
wait = no
disable = no
}
|
and my /etc/xinetd.conf
| Code: | defaults
{
only_from = 0.0.0.0
instances = 60
log_type = SYSLOG authpriv info
log_on_success = HOST PID
log_on_failure = HOST
cps = 25 30
}
includedir /etc/xinetd.d
|
I've tried unmerging and reemerging and upgrading to the unstable version (1.0.16c) even though 1.0.16b was working before. No idea what's going on or what I changed to break it. |

Not sure if that'll help (I've been running it for 2 years without changing any settings, so I forgot almost everything about it  ), but try running it without any arguments.
/pure-ftpd &
and see if it works
p.s. Why do you need -E and -i switches at the same time btw?? -E should be enough IMHO

Thanks for the reply.
Running without arguements returns
| Code: | | Unable to start a standalone server: Address already in use |

Try commenting
SERVER="-S mydomain.com,21" line and run it again.
Usually, if something doesn't work and I'm not sure what's wrong, then I just apply the "process of elimination" to narrow down the problem

| That means that something is already using port 21...fire off an lsof -i, and kill whatever is there. |

Thanks, that did it. xinetd was using it. Now my problem is the firewall. It was working before with the firewall just 2 weeks ago. What the hell did I do? Did I miss a module in the 2.6.0 kernel maybe?I have the following entries in my script:
| Code: | #Allow ftp to send data back and forth.
$IPT -A INPUT -p tcp ! --syn --source-port 20 --destination-port 1024:65535 -j ACCEPT
$IPT -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 21 -j ACCEPT
|
Is something wrong here? I'm no iptables expert. |

For some reason pure-ftpd is sending from some port > 1024 to some port > 1024. Why? I added this to my iptables
| Code: | $IPT -A INPUT -p tcp --sport 1024:65535 --dport 1024:65535 -j ACCEPT
|
and that seemed to do the trick. Is this right?
So many questions.
What does xinetd do and why is it running by default at boot?
Do I need it for anything?
Why is pure-ftpd talking on these high ports?
What changed in the last 2 weeks?
I see some time with google in my future...
Thanks for the help peeps. |

tried to start your server like this?
| Code: | | /etc/init.d/pure-ftpd start |
pure-ftpd works like a charm for me, with a minimum of configuration, and that was a easy conf-file to understand.

| Yeah, it worked like a charm for me with a minimum of configuration 2 weeks ago. Then it went all to hell. All better now though. Thanks for the input. Any comments on the iptables? |
