Becoming crazy: ProFTP no longer accept logins

Hi all

I installed a fresh Virtualmin on a fresh server 3 days ago. Then, I created some users and logged-in using ProFTP successfully.

Starting from today, ProFTP no longer accept logins. The messages I see in my FTP client:

220 FTP Server ready.
 
23>USER uxuxux
 
23>331 Password required for uxuxux
 
23>PASS (hidden)
 
23>530 Login incorrect.
 
23>Client closed the connection.

Obviously, username and passwords are correct. I also totally disabled CSF.

Please help, because I have no more places where to check. I tried to check almost all :-(

Thank you

Carlo

Howdy,

Are you by chance using CentOS?

If so, what is the output of this command:

rpm -qa | grep proftp

Hello!

Yes, CentOS 6.5 64bit

The result is:

proftpd-1.3.4a-1.el6.rf.x86_64

Thank you

Howdy,

Aha, it looks like you have a version of ProFTPd that came from a third party repository... that's likely the cause of the problem you're seeing.

There's more information about that here in the section named "Why does PHP / ProFTPd no longer work after performing updates? (I'm using CentOS, and enabled third party repositories)":

Hello

I installed just "rsnapshot". Maybe this caused the problem?

I can ensure you that I installed nothing more!

I hope that I will find a solution in the mentioned document.

Thank you!

Hello

1) removed rpmforge repo

2) yum uninstalled proftpd

3) yum installed proftpd

4) voilà! Works!!

Thanks a lot ;-)
