Plesk 12: New FTP users can't log in

onycro

Basic Pleskian
Hello,

I've created a new ftp user in plesk. And this user can't login. Even when I try it on localhost.
The message in the logfile is the following:
Dec 30 12:44:42 host proftpd: pam_listfile(proftpd:auth): Couldn't open /etc/ftpusers
Dec 30 12:44:42 host proftpd: pam_unix(proftpd:session): session opened for user ftpuser by (uid=0)
Dec 30 12:44:42 host proftpd: pam_unix(proftpd:session): session closed for user ftpuser


On client side it says:
530 Login incorrect.

Can someone tell me if the file /etc/ftpusers is needed? And what may cause the problem?
