Pure-FTP update dies!

there is a pureFTP update that has been in my yum manager for a couple months now everytime i try to update it, the ftp server won't run after that and i have to downgrade it to get ftp running... is this a CWP issue?

have you checked in the logs what is the exact issue ?

something about exceeding limits or not setting limits

Job for pure-ftpd.service failed because a configured resource limit was exceeded. See "systemctl status pure-ftpd.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details

Journal says:

for me this is SSL cert problem.

i dunno what the problem is with it, if i install it FTP fails if i downgrade it and reboot the server it works.

you simply need to check the error which your ftp server has and if its related with hostname certificate then save your hostname again from cwp and it will generate all required certificates.

are you referring to the error i posted above?. I've checked my SSL settings and see no errors according to CWP

yes, try checking all logs if restart doesn't show any error.

this is what i get when i update it:

(from clicking status in cwp)


from ssh console using status command:

I have no idea what's wrong with this, if i downgrade it to the previous version it works fine!

you should check your file /etc/pki/tls/certs/server-ftp.crt in it you would have certificate and key which doesn't match and copy content of the certificate/key you are using for your hostname to that file.

speaking greek to me...lol

simply run this and restart your pure-ftpd service

Code: [Select]

cat /etc/pki/tls/private/hostname.key > /etc/pki/tls/certs/server-ftp.crt
cat /etc/pki/tls/certs/hostname.crt >> /etc/pki/tls/certs/server-ftp.crt
service pure-ftpd restart

Yeah... that didn't work!

service pure-ftpd restart


This worked for me.

However, don't forget to change the "hostname" with your own hostname like cp.yourdomain.com

So, if my hostname is cp.mydomain.com then the commands will be

cat /etc/pki/tls/private/cp.mydomain.com.key > /etc/pki/tls/certs/server-ftp.crt
cat /etc/pki/tls/certs/cp.mydomain.com.crt >> /etc/pki/tls/certs/server-ftp.crt
service pure-ftpd restart
