Plesk 8.3 to 8.4 - FTP failure on Debian Etch

[Karrde]

After update from 8.3 to 8.4 its not possible to connect with FTP to any Domain!
I also try a clean Debain Etch and Plesk 8.4 installation with same problem.

Resolving host name "xxx"
Connecting to IP "xxx" Port: 21
Connected to "xxx"
Cannot login waiting to retry (30s)
Server closed connection

Need Help, somebody has an idea?

We are experiencing exactly the same issue on Fedora. Will be following this thread for a resolution.

Hello guys,
we have openSuse10.1, same issue. Can't connect to any domain via ftp on server.
Any solutions?

Kind regards

Hello,
i have solved the problem.
In /var/log/messages was following failure logged:

mod_tls/2.1.2: compiled using OpenSSL version 'OpenSSL 0.9.8a 11 Oct 2005' headers, but linked to OpenSSL version 'OpenSSL 0.9.8e 23 Feb 2007' library

A simple recompiling of proftpd solved the problem.


cd /usr/src
wget ftp://ftp.proftpd.org/distrib/source/proftpd-1.3.1.tar.gz
tar xfvz proftpd-1.3.1.tar.gz && cd proftpd-1.3.1
cp /etc/proftpd.conf /etc/proftpd_conf.bak
./configure --prefix=/usr --sbindir=/usr/sbin --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var/run --disable-sendfile --enable-auth-pam --with-modules=mod_ratio:mod_readme:mod_tls:mod_quota
make
make install
/etc/init.d/xinetd restart
/usr/sbin/proftpd -t

Syntax check complete.

I had the exact same problem, a few days ago - and by checking the /var/log/syslog files, searching for "ftp" i found that the /etc/proftpd.conf file was incomplete.

So, check your logs and your config file.
