Problems with ProFTd

[spirit28]

Hi All,

I can't login to my server by using an FTP-script (e.g. Joomla
Safe-Mode-Patch). I do get a message of having logged in, however after that
the script has a "hangup".

I copied a part from my logfile here:

Oct 2 09:50:42 h1040907 proftpd[25518]: server.xxx.com
(85.214.65.109[85.214.65.109]) - FTP session opened.

(85.214.65.109[85.214.65.109]) - FTP session closed.

With Google I discovered this problem has to do with ProFTPD in combination
with Suse. To my despite I haven't been able to find a solution yet..

Does anyone of you have an idea?
My OS is Suse v.10.0

Thanks in advance for any usefull replies.

Kind regards,
Marco.

Firewall related

Try stopping your firewall, try an upload - if it works, that's your problem.

FTP Problem fixed

The most recent update from Plesk ( psa v8.0.1_build80061018.17 os_FedoraCore 2)appears to have fixed my FTP problem. All FTP funtions are working normally and my firewall is turned on (yeh!). Now the only issue is if I try to restart the firewall from the root (works fine from CP), it crashes the whole server and the only way to restart the server is to physically push the on/off button, as it dies. The FW is running, so I don't need to stop/restart the firewall now that the FTP is working.

The other issue that started with the update that fixed the FTP problem is that the PSA CP services shows that the QMAIL keeps stopping, but from the root it shows that it is still running and the logs show nothing, other than maybe an auto restart of the service after auto MAPS update by Spamassassin. I know it's all related, but it doesn't appear to be affecting mail service or spam filtering or the firewall, so I'm not touching anything.
