ProFTPD and php ftp

[Marcvanberkel]

Dear direct admin users,

We are having problems with our ProFTPD service.
Loging in with a standard ftp clients works perfect (filezilla, windows explorer etc).
Only when the ftp is accesed from script like a joomla website , it cant connect.

It looks like 127.0.0.1 connection are not being accepted.
ProFTPd [7500] ::ffff:127.0.0.1 [31/Jul/2011:18:15:10 +0200] "USER joomlanl" 331

the ::ffff: is not showing on other directadmin servers.
When we want to activate the ftp in the joomla sites it errors. (cant connect to 127.0.0.1)

When i check the port on the loopback interface all seems to be fine.

root@chinook:/var/log/proftpd# telnet 127.0.0.1 21
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to 127.0.0.1.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 ProFTPD 1.3.3d Server (ProFTPD Default Installation) [127.0.0.1]

When i check the apache it shows that ftp is still enabled
FTP support enabled

My know how of linux is very basic, so i am not able to fix the problem.
maybe i have to check some other logs to find the problem ?

check joomla logs check apache error logs

There is no reason it wont work unless some php function is being blocked.

The issue is resolved by a remove and an new install of pro ftp.
With the conf template from the direct admin directory.

Still do not know what the cause of the problem is.
