Hi all,
I can't seem to get Webmin to work with ProFTPD — when clicking on the ProFTPD Server module, it just says "The program /usr/sbin/proftpd does not appear to be the ProFTPD server. Maybe it is not installed, or your module configuration is incorrect. Output from the command /usr/sbin/proftpd -v was : <blank>"
Is there any way to get this working? Thanks
Webmin doesn't see ProFTPD?
Re: Webmin doesn't see ProFTPD?
Hi,
you would need to install ProFTP from dietpi-software catalogue before.

Re: Webmin doesn't see ProFTPD?
Webmin is not going to install anything in addition. It will provide the web Frontend only. Thinks like Samba or ProFTP would need to be installed individualy.
To check if ProFTP is running pls do following

I'm not talking about Webmin installing anything, I'm talking about dietpi-software — ProFTPD is already installed and running.Joulinar wrote: ↑Mon Apr 27, 2020 7:52 pm Webmin is not going to install anything in addition.

Re: Webmin doesn't see ProFTPD?
I was refereing to this comment and I was not sure what you meant by this.So even though it was installed at the initial setup, I would have to install it again?
anyway can you check the following
Code: Select all
which proftpd

Re: Webmin doesn't see ProFTPD?
and proftpd -v doesn't give anything ??
probably your FTP installation did not work correctly. Maybe you can try to reinstall.
Code: Select all
root@DietPiVM1:~# proftpd -v
ProFTPD Version 1.3.6
root@DietPiVM1:~#

Re: Webmin doesn't see ProFTPD?
I don't think you understand — ProFTPD is working and running. I am able to connect to the server and download/upload files. Webmin isn't working to adminster it though.Joulinar wrote: ↑Tue Apr 28, 2020 12:35 am and proftpd -v doesn't give anything ??

Re: Webmin doesn't see ProFTPD?
I understood you already. Your problem is that Webmin is not detecting your ProFTP installation and this needs to be found out why. As well you stated on your first post that proftpd -v dosn't give anything back. But usually it should state the ProFTP version. So there might be something wrong on ProFTP
