Hello guys,
im kind of new to virtualmin and everything and to this date i could solve everything by just using google or looking at this forum and some very helpful posts some of you made.
but i couldnt find anything that could possibly help my stupidity in this situation.
so here is the problem/story:
i'm usind pro and hosting some domains / subdomains on my vps and just the letsencrypt ssl cert for my own domain. then i noticed i cant use ftp anymore, i thought it might be cause i added the certificate to proftpd aswell. well, projects hosted on subdomains couldnt connect via ftp either. since theyre gonna get either outsourced or hosted on their respective buyers servers i didnt think this is a big problem, well its still a problem and i didnt want it to become any bigger than it already is.
so i disabled SSL for my virtual server because i didnt see any other option of removing the ssl cert from proftpd and reennabled it - genius, ikr :/.
so i tried to connect over and over again with different logins, tried to add new ftp users and so on. turned out proftpd wasnt running. i thought i could just reinstall it and recreate users. but first: i really dont know how - and second: i dont wanna mess up more than i already did.
so this is the error message i get when i try to launch proftp from webmin panel under "servers":
Starting proftpd (via systemctl): proftpd.serviceJob for proftpd.service failed. See 'systemctl status proftpd.service' and 'journalctl -xn' for details.
failed!
this is what i get once i type proftpd --configtest in putty
root@kebabmeal:~# proftpd --configtest

also there is something with wrong with smtp i guess now that i'm looking at it -_-
this is all the information i could think of, if any of you need any more stuff i'd be more than happy to provide the missing info.
i hope this is fixable in some way.
edit: kebabmeal is just the placeholder for hostename /username

anyone? :(
i'm just getting started :|
just use sftp - ssh is much more secure and it just work without proftpd..
Configuring/troubleshooting Debian servers is always great fun
Howdy,
First off, if you're using Virtualmin Pro, you are welcome to post either in the Forums, or in the support tracker. So if you don't receive a response here, please feel free to post in the support tracker to get an answer.
As far as the error you're receiving goes though -- what distro/version is it that you're using?
And did ProFTPd ever work? Or was this always a problem?
Lastly, what is the output of the command "free -m"?
