Proftp Wrong Version Number

[rohit]

Hi Guys.

I recently tried to upgrade proftpd to 1.3.1 from 1.3.0a using this URL

http://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=82

* Note, prefix on Linux is --prefix=/usr - I missed this, fixing it fixed it all.

it all went fine and followed all the steps as mentioned in the above URL.

[root@server proftpd-1.3.1]# proftpd -v
- ProFTPD Version 1.3.1

BUT When I try to telnet to check the version of proftpd it is still the old one.

[root@server proftpd-1.3.1]# telnet localhost 21
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to xxxxxxxxxx (127.0.0.1).

[root@server proftpd-1.3.1]#

What should I do to fix it. I tried using CustomBuild script earlier before trying this method, but that failed on some tcl_host.c error.

Hope to get some help.

Thanks

FIXED. I should have read the steps properly.

--prefix=/usr/local

needs to be changed to

--prefix=/usr

CustomBuild script doesn't have these configuration options set before `make` and didn't compile on RHEL3.

Thanks
