[Chuanwen Wu]

Hi list!
I can't start my proftpd!

# proftpd
 - IPv6 getaddrinfo 'localhost' error: Name or service not known

then:
# /etc/init.d/proftpd start
 * Starting proftpd ...                                                   [ !! ]

And my /etc/hosts is :

Your'e problem is that when you type in:
# proftpd
you've started it before you run the init script.  So when the init
script tries to start it, it fails because there is already a proftpd
started.  The IPV6 error is only a problem if you need IPV6.
Otherwise:
# ps ax | grep proftpd
<number> ?        Ss     0:00 proftpd: (accepting connections)
# kill <number>
# /etc/init.d/proftpd start
# (if you want to start at boot) rc-update add proftpd default

1) This is not an IPV6 address.
2) Maybe not related, but anyway: Don't mess with localhost. Better give 
wcw-gentoo a real address (maybe from the private 192.168.x.x range).

HTH...

Unless you are using an ISP that supports IPv6, I suggest that you use 
the -ipv6 USE flag.  Also, I have noticed on two machines of mine that unless 
you place localhost at the end of the line in your /etc/hosts, you will 
get "This is wcw-gentoo.(none) (Linux i686 2.6. . . .)" when you login.  Your 
domain will not be recognised.

Now i find that my proftpd actually has start up even the warning(-
IPv6 getaddrinfo 'localhost' error: Name or service not known) is
still here.

Maybe it will be OK after i remerge proftpd with the USE='-ipv6'
I will try it!

Re: [gentoo-user] proftpd can't start !

[Chuanwen Wu]

Errors occur,now!
I remerged proftpd with the USE='-ipv6',then the warning
disappears,but i can't connection my  ftp .
And then i remerged proftpd back again with  the USE='ipv6', but still
can't connect my ftp.
When i use gftp to connect my ftp ,the message is just below:

Looking up 222.20.45.71
Trying 222.20.45.71:21
Connected to 222.20.45.71:21
500 FTP server shut down (going down at Fri Oct 20 10:37:21 2006) --
please try again later
Disconnecting from site 222.20.45.71

How to set this problem now ?I didn't change my proftpd.conf.

What does the proftpd log file (/var/log/xferlog?) show?

man xferlog explains the syntax. You should also check log file specified
as SystemLog in proftpd.conf.
