No more proFTPD login since proFTPD 1.3.3c update

[Endimmion]

Hi,

I have updated proFTPD to the 1.3.3c version via the atomic repo on CentOS 5 / Plesk 9.5.4.

Since this update my plesk users can't login on proFTPD, it always end up with "530 Login incorrect"


How to make the FTP login work again? thank you

Here is some new information for my problem:

in /var/log/secure

Code: Select all

Dec 28 12:48:45 server2 proftpd[32424]: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (yyy.yyy.yyy.yyyy[yyy.yyy.yyy.yyyy]) - USER ftp_7856985 (Login failed): Incorrect password. 
Dec 28 12:48:45 server2 proftpd[32424]: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (yyy.yyy.yyy.yyyy[yyy.yyy.yyy.yyyy]) - FTP session closed. 

Changing the password in plesk or directly throught the server, doesn't change anything.

Worked fine for me. The current version is 1.3.3d by the way.

(As I also mentioned in this thread: http://www.atomicorp.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=4615 )
I have also had a problem with proftpd not working with CentOS 5.5 and Plesk 9.5.3 (and then 9.5.4)

The only way I could get it working again was to uninstall the ART proftpd packages and reinstall the original Plesk ones.
(tips found on this thread: http://forum.parallels.com/printthread. ... 5541&pp=40 )

Uninstall problem packages:

Code: Select all

rpm -e --nodeps psa-proftpd
rpm -e --nodeps psa-proftpd-xinetd

Run Plesk installer to restore original packages:

Code: Select all

/usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/autoinstaller

Check version of proftpd:

Code: Select all

proftpd -v

(should show: ProFTPD Version 1.3.2e)

Have you also tried reinstalling the ART packages instead of going back to the Plesk packages? I believe the Plesk upgrade can mess up the ART install, but reinstalling the ART packages worked for us.

The main issue is that the Plesk version of ProFTPD doesn't support ClamAV integration, so when the Plesk upgrade installs its own package, but keeps the ART configuration file it finds ClamAV configuration statements it doesn't understand and chokes on that. You could just comment out 'Include /etc/proftp-asl.conf' in /etc/proftpd.conf to get ProFTPD working again, but then you also lost your ClamAV integration. Reinstalling the ART packages should fix all this.

@breun - thanks for the feedback and tips. I had tried reinstalling ART packages, but it didn't worked for me. I don't have ClamAV installed, not sure if that has anything to do with it. It had previously worked fine.

I'll have another try at reinstalling the ART proftpd packages when I get some time and pay a bit more attention to config files.

You shouldn't to change anything in the config files (if your config files aren't the ones distributed by the package, revert to those). What error messages do you find in /var/log/messages when "it didn't work"?
