    Hi guys,

    I have been trying to install proFTPd for the last 2 days with little success. Let me tell you what I’ve learned so far, hopefully to help others, then I’ll see if anyone can help me.

    I am running Mac OS 10.3.1 and proFTPd 1.2.9 with sql_mod

    [b:3ecb687329]Problem #1:[/b:3ecb687329] Make file won’t compile, error
    [b:3ecb687329]Solution:[/b:3ecb687329] Don’t download the sql_mod from the tutorial, instead use the one already provided by proftpd. Also, I used the binary download of mySql so my configure command looked like this:

    [color=green:3ecb687329]./configure –with-modules=mod_sql:mod_sql_mysql –with-includes=/usr/local/mysql/include –with-libraries=/usr/local/mysql/lib
    [/color:3ecb687329]

    [b:3ecb687329]Problem #2:[/b:3ecb687329] Various config file problems, standalone and inetd
    [b:3ecb687329]Solution:[/b:3ecb687329] Well, I just played around for a while, but ended up modifying and using the mod_sql.conf file in the sample_configurations folder

    Something I learned is that if you are in /etc/pam.d and sudo ln-s ftpd ftp then proFTPd will use both the sqlAuth and the system accounts

    [b:3ecb687329]My Problem:[/b:3ecb687329]
    So…. I can now finally login using my accounts, but immediately I receive a connection closed/failure message. I read that I need to have world writable directories so I made my HD and /www 777 and created the default dir to be /www this has been unsuccessful so far and I have run out of ideas.

    Here is my [url=http://davidkassa.dyndns.org/proftpd.conf.txt]config file[/url]

    Any help would be appreciated!

    Thanks in advance,
    David Kassa

    It’s very frustrating when compiling proftpd was a breeze for 10.3.1. I’ve been using proftpd on OS X Server 10.2 with great performance for more than a year. Now it died on me when upgrading to 10.3.1.

    Maybe these error messages will spark someones memory, for a solution.

    Cheers. 😀

    I was trying ProFTPd again last week. The fink distribution is the best one to use. I had problems getting the distribution from proftpd.org working.

    The fink distribution had the fixes in to tweak it for PAM auth to be compatible with Panther.

    Things i tested:
    sql auth worked
    anonymous ftp worked

    I haven’t fully tested it, and used it with the reverseDNS turned off.

    Good luck!
