 Posted: Thu Dec 08, 2005 6:06 am Post subject: ProFTPd won't start |
 |
|
I apologize for the elementary nature of this problem, but I seriously can't figure it out. I've scoured forums and searched for HOWTOs on the subject and none of them helped....everyone got farther than I did.  I just want to get an FTP server up and running. I've emerged proftpd and edited my .conf file and now I'm stuck here...
| Code: |
/etc/init.d/proftpd start
* Starting proftpd ... [ !! ]
|
I don't get any useful debugging output, just two simple red bangs.
My .conf file appears as follows....
| Code: |
ServerName "fils empeethrees"
ServerType standalone
DefaultServer on
RequireValidShell off
AuthPAM off
AuthPAMConfig ftp
# Port 21 is the standard FTP port.
Port 21
# Umask 022 is a good standard umask to prevent new dirs and files
# from being group and world writable.
Umask 022
# To prevent DoS attacks, set the maximum number of child processes
# to 30. If you need to allow more than 30 concurrent connections
# at once, simply increase this value. Note that this ONLY works
# in standalone mode, in inetd mode you should use an inetd server
# that allows you to limit maximum number of processes per service
# (such as xinetd).
MaxInstances 5
# Set the user and group under which the server will run.
User pkluss
Group users
# Normally, we want files to be overwriteable.
<Directory />
AllowOverwrite off
</Directory>
# A basic anonymous configuration, no upload directories.
<Anonymous ~ftp>
User ftp
Group ftp
#chroot for all users
DefaultRoot ~ ftp
#Limit LOGIN>
DenyGroup !ftp
</Limit>
<Global>
RootLogin off
RequireValidShell on
</Global>
LogFormat default "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %s %b"
LogFormat auth "%v [%P] %h %t \"%r\" %s"
LogFormat write "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %s %b"
ExtendedLog /var/log/ftp_auth.log AUTH auth
ExtendedLog /var/log/ftp_access.log WRITE,READ write
ExtendedLog /var/log/ftp_paranoid.log ALL default
# We want clients to be able to login with "anonymous" as well as "ftp"
UserAlias anonymous ftp
# Limit the maximum number of anonymous logins
MaxClients 5
# We want 'welcome.msg' displayed at login, and '.message' displayed
# in each newly chdired directory.
DisplayLogin welcome.msg
DisplayFirstChdir .message
# Limit WRITE everywhere in the anonymous chroot
<Limit WRITE>
DenyAll
</Limit>
</Anonymous>

| If you are not seeing errors on the console then I'd check your logs. There's generally a sign in there of what is failing. Sometimes starting the daemon on the commandline directly - rather than using an init script - can show more output. Some apps support -v or -vv for more verbose output. |
