I realized that proFTPd isn't running and as restarting ftp didn't workout I restarted the server itself.
In the /var/log/syslog I found the following entries:
Code: Select all
May 4 21:21:28 bubba proftpd[1201]: bubba - Failed binding to 0.0.0.0, port 21: Address already in use
May 4 21:21:28 bubba proftpd[1201]: bubba - Check the ServerType directive to ensure you are configured correctly.
It startet at the time, when I did an upgrade which I started from the webinterface that didn't finish - I needed to do a "dpkg --configure -a" to finalize it. It also upgraded proftpd (current release on my box is: 1.2.10-15). Are there any problems with this release?
Update:
I removed proftpd, which of also removed other packages including bubba package. Then I reinstalled the bubba package which also brought proftpd and proftpd-common along with it. I selected the package maintainers version of the config file for proftpd and now its up & running again.
Remaining 2 questions:
1) Is 1.2.10-15 the bubba standard version for proftpd?
2) Should proftpd be set as servertype "inetd" or "standalone"?
