ProFTd

Hi Everyone,

Running into an error with ProFTP, getting the following errors:

  • warning: AuthPAMAuthoritative is deprecated
  • getaddrinfo ‘69-12-214-194.colo.sonic.net’ error: Name or service not known
  • warning: unable to determine IP address of ‘69-12-214-194.colo.sonic.net
  • error: no valid servers configured
  • Fatal: error processing configuration file ‘/etc/proftpd.conf’

Upon searching on the internet, I found the following:

---------REPLY----------------
What’s the contents of your /etc/hosts file? You must have your hostname associated with the IP address you’re using for this machine.
---------END REPLY-------------

---------REPLY----------------
The only thing in there is:
127.0.0.1 localhost

Should I put:
my_ip_address my_hostname
I’ll go ahead and try it. Hope this works.
---------END REPLY-------------

So I hunted the “Host” file down and added “69.12.214.194 gemags.com localhost” and while it help to the fact that ProFTP started, I can’t log into any of my accounts via FTP.

Thoughts?

Thanks in advance,
Charles
