FTP not accessible for newly installed server

Hi guys,

I just installed a fresh Debian 8.2 and latest virtualmin. Everything is kept at default, but I can't log in to FTP for any virtualserver unless I check that I want IP based virtual FTP server - but that I can do only for one.

I never had a problem with this in the past installations so I did a complete reinstall of the server and started from scratch - same thing.

Any advice?

thanks!

Howdy,

Hmm, that is indeed odd!

What error(s) do you get when trying to log in?

Also, what errors do you see in /var/log/syslog and /var/log/auth.log when trying to log in?

Thanks for coming back to me Eric. None of the files shows any evidence of FTP. I tried to check around and nothing found. The error message I get is Connection refused in Cyberduck on Mac. I see ProFTPD is running fine, but I can't login even to localhost via MC ( MC says Login incorrect).

I just replicated the same thing on a completely different server - new installation as well. FTP just refuses connections. It's not a firewall issue, but looks like the database with usernames and passwords is not accessible to ProFTPd or so.

Any news on this issue? I'm having the same problem. A 100% fresh debian installation with virtualmin and proftpd refuses connections. No clue why.
