Proftpd Unable To Determine Ip Address
linux user, then you probably know what Proftp is. Proftp is a service which allows users (including yourself) to ftp into your server. After a recent server upgrade, the daemon which runs proftp (proftpd) gave me some errors on restart. When I restarted proftp, I received the following error printed to the screen:
proftpd not running IPv6 getaddrinfo 'home.ben-herman.com' error: Name or service not known
As you can see from the above error message, the server uses a domain name ‘ben-herman.com'. The server is located on the subdomain home.ben-herman.com. Don't try to access it though, as I have it securely protected from the rest of the world. The tricky part was that although I received an error every time the daemon started, proftp was still able to run. However it ran very slow. Alternatively, if there was an IPv4 problem, proftp would not have been able to start. I explain this in more detail towards the end of the post. It took me a bit of figuring out, but eventually I solved it with a simple line of text. This particular server runs ubuntu, if you are running a different flavor of linux, the path to your host file maybe different. Here's what you should do if you run into the same problem: 1) vi hosts **(my path is

I installed proftp and used the default proftpd.conf (I didn't make any changes) file but when I run proftpd I get the following error: - IPv4 g
Stopping ftp server: proftpd. Starting ftp server: proftpd - IPv6 getaddrinfo 'domain.com' error: Name or service not known Although you get this warning or error message, proftpd will run. not running The message simply indicates a problem with the IP protocol version 6 which is not correctly configured. If your machine only runs on IPv4 (e.g. 172.10.10.3) you can simply add the following line proftpd ipv4 getaddrinfo into your proftpd config file: vi /etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf UseIPv6 off Save the changes you made and restart proftpd, you won't get this error message anymore. If your machine uses IPv6 (e.g. 2001:db8:85a3::8a2e:370:7334, look in your /etc/hosts) then you should configure your proftpd so it accepts IPv6. I haven't done this myself so I have no clue what hints to give you but I found the following howto which seems to be working according to user responses: http://forums.theplanet.com/index.php?showtopic=87129&st=0&p=573149&#entry573149.
