 Posted: Mon Nov 03, 2008 3:08 pm Post subject: Proftp Server cant start |
 |
|
Hi i havent done anything to the config at all and it wont let me start the server.
| Code: |
* Checking proftpd configuration ...
* Configuration error: please fix your configuration file (/etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf). [ !! ]
|
Here is a copy of the config.
Im simply trying to just use the server on my local network to transfer some files.
| Code: |
# This is a basic ProFTPD configuration file (rename it to
# 'proftpd.conf' for actual use. It establishes a single server
# and a single anonymous login. It assumes that you have a user/group
# "nobody" and "ftp" for normal operation and anon.
ServerName "ProFTPD Default Installation"
ServerType standalone
DefaultServer on
# 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 30
# Set the user and group under which the server will run.
User nobody
Group nogroup
# To cause every FTP user to be "jailed" (chrooted) into their home
# directory, uncomment this line.
#DefaultRoot ~
# Normally, we want files to be overwriteable.
<Directory />
AllowOverwrite on
</Directory>
# A basic anonymous configuration, no upload directories. If you do not
# want anonymous users, simply delete this entire <Anonymous> section.
<Anonymous ~ftp>
User ftp
Group ftp
# 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 10
# 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>

Possible you need to replace 'DisplayFirstChdir' directive on to 'DisplayChdir' in your configuration file.

Had exactly the same problem today and changing DisplayFirstChdir to DisplayChdir as suggested earlier in this thread solved it:-).
