    Exclamation Urgent!!! Pure-ftpd Cant Log To Ftp !!!

    I was using WHM 11.2.0 cPanel 11.6.0-R15076 version in one of my servers and pureftpd stopped. Whm status was green (running)service but all accounts of the server gaves 530 authentication error.
    So I did the following:

    service pure-ftpd restart -> gives ok, but nothing happens
    /etc/init.d/pureftpd restart -> gives ok, but nothing happens
    restart service from whm -> gives ok, but nothing happens
    syncronize ftp passwords from whm -> gives ok, but nothing happens
    /scripts/ftpup --force -> gives ok, but nothing happens

    Then I did /scripts/upcp --force and now I have latest cpanel version WHM 11.2.0 cPanel 11.10.0-R16448.
    Then again /scripts/ftpup --force again but the problem is still present.

    How can I fix this my customers cant log to ftp and I´m receiving complaints!!

    Thanks!

    Default

    Fixed, I just uncommented the line at /etc/pure-ftpd.conf
    UnixAuthentication yes

    This is very weird, I never touched this before also I have a lot of server with this feature commented and they are working fine.

    At least its fixed, but will be nice to hear a logic explation for this.

    i had the same problem today on cpanel 10 after nightly upcp, upcp installed a wrong /usr/sbin/pureauth on the system.

    way to solv: simply copy /usr/sbin/pureauth from another cpanel server with scp to the server with the problem

    If you are still running version 10, I strongly recommend upgrading to version 11 as version 10 is no longer being maintained.
