Pure-FTPD won't start

[Remco00]

Just upgraded one server from CB1.2 to CB2.0. Only thing is that Pure-FTPD won't start. Messages log:

pure-ftpd: (?@?) [ERROR] Sorry, but that file doesn't exist: [/etc/pure-ftpd.pem]

The .pem file is present so what am I overlooking?

Please post the output of:

ls -l /etc/pure-ftpd.pem

Also, check if the following fixes your problem:

cd /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild
./build pureftpd

 

[Remco00]

ls -l /etc/pure-ftpd.pem gives:

# -rw------- 1 root root 3413 Oct 14 17:12 /etc/pure-ftpd.pem

./build pureftpd gives same result in messages log.

Just googled that for your maybe this helps:

Old thread but the problem is with ispserver.pem file as I had this too, mine problem was one line:
-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY----- -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
I just added one enter and then it worked fine:
-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
