problem with proftpd-mysql update

[jjross]

just did the automatic update today and it changed the configuration files for proftpd.
I got past the config file problems but now I am getting this

jim@jim:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/proftpd restart
* Stopping ftp server proftpd [ ok ]
* Starting ftp server proftpd
- IPv6 getaddrinfo 'jim' error: Name or service not known

Any ideas where to go from here to fix this

It appears that this does not interfere with the operation of proftpd, but I still have a problem,
When I try to log in to the FTP server it says

server could not be found

I am using VHCS control panel for my server so it may be related to that after the proftpd upgrade.
I will keep looking , but if anyone has any ideas, let me know

I finally found the answer to my problem.
If anyone else is having this problem with VHCS and proftpd 1.3.0
check this (http://vhcs.net/new/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=6634&forum=3) link

The same problem here, it seems that the new version of proftpd has that problem. I get the same error just running anonymous ftp server and a vhost ftp

- IPv6 getaddrinfo 'mydomain.dyndns.org' error: No address associated with hostname

The server can start but when i try to log in as anonymous it takes a long time

Any ideas ? :???: :???:

I could not find the way to solve it ..

try this for the ipv6 problem
look at the readme in usr/share/doc/proftpd it will list this

ProFTPD Server for Debian
-------------------------

** IPv6 issue:

In standalone mode proftpd binds both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. That
causes a quite annoying message at startup on IPv4-only boxes, such as:

IPv6 getaddrinfo 'your_host_name' error: Name or service not known

That can be avoided by keeping an IPv6 mapping for your_host_name in your /etc/hosts file, such as:

::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback your_host_name

or also

::fff:A.B.C.D your_host_name

when you got a static IPv4 address A.B.C.D. The same is required for all IP4/6 addresses, just
in case your nameserver does not map your hostname and IPs.

this worked for me

Yep!!!! its ok now:) :)

I just put my host name in /etc/hosts


::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback your_host_name

Thanks!!!!
