Install Pure-Ftp on CentOS 5.3 VPS with ISPConfig 3 –without-capabilities
Posted by alexrose
So, you have a new VPS and want to install ISPConfig 3? Do you have problems with ftp server? Well, maybe I can help you.
First of all, install pure-ftpd with:
yum install pure-ftpd
as root. Now run:
/etc/init.d/pure-ftpd start
If it says "FAILED" instead of "OK" then you probably want to run this:
tail -n 200 /var/log/messages | grep ftp
If you see a message like this:
pure-ftpd: (?@?) [ERROR] Unable to switch capabilities : Operation not permitted
then you have the same problem i had, my friend.
NOT TO WORRY, I'm gonna help you.
Now, follow this simple steps:
cd /tmp wget http://download.pureftpd.org/pub/pure-ftpd/releases/pure-ftpd-1.0.22.tar.gz tar -xvzf pure-ftpd-1.0.22.tar.gz cd pure-ftpd-1.0.22 ./configure --without-capabilities --with-virtualchroot --with-mysql --with-pam --with-altlog --with-wrapper --with-mysql --with-cookie --with-throttling --with-ratios --with-paranoidmsg --with-quotas make make install
Now run /etc/init.d/pure-ftpd start. It should say: "OK". You can install ISPConfig 3 without problems.
Hope this little tutorial will help you, and if you want to thank me, simply put a link with this blog on your personal page.

Hi!
I’m getting:
[root@host pure-ftpd-1.0.26]# /etc/init.d/pure-ftpd start-bash: /etc/init.d/pure-ftpd: No such file or directory
what’s wrong?

1. What distro are you running?
2. Perhaps you did not installed “pure-ftpd” correctly.
3. You can start a topic here: http://www.craiova-online.ro/software-31/ to get an answer faster.
