FTP dont work, after clear install

I had this problem too when I installed OMV5 in a virtual machine this afternoon. But after enabling->disabling->enabling FTP through GUI, it started "working". Yes, had to try it twice.

I think I will reinstall OMV4

Use OMV5.

I wish I could, but as I told it didnt work.

Yesterday I installed from scratch the OMV5 ISO, enabled FTP and got the error. There's some kind of incompatibility between OMV5 and Debian 10.

I'm never using ftp, but I've tried to enable the service as a test.

I've to say that I also got this error as described in post #1

I ran the command "ls -alh /run/proftpd" with the following result:

root@HPt620:~# ls -alh /run/proftpd

total 0

drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 60 Mar 20 11:10 .

drwxr-xr-x 35 root root 1.3K Mar 20 11:10 ..

srwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Mar 20 11:10 proftpd.sock

But after rebooting my system the result is:

cannot access '/run/proftpd': No such file or directory

My systemspecs are in my signature

I assume the problem comes from the openmediavault-flashmemory. The /run directory is essential for the system and the proftpd directory is created by the daemon itself or by the SysV init file.

I dont have openmediavault-flashmemory installed on my VM, and ProFTPd its not working

It's not the first time this problem is mentioned, see: RE: Start ftp service error

I saw this in a log:

proftpd.service: Found left-over process 10339 (proftpd) in control group while starting unit. Ignoring.

Maybe this can help

Hi,

I have the same problem with the same error message as Merxa.

This seems to be the problematic part:

----------
          ID: start_proftpd_service
    Function: service.running
        Name: proftpd
      Result: False
     Comment: Job for proftpd.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
              See "systemctl status proftpd.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.
     Started: 13:31:43.271958
    Duration: 34.855 ms
     Changes:

When checking systemctl this is the message:

Apr 14 15:39:11 openmediavault.local systemd[1]: Starting LSB: Starts ProFTPD daemon...
Apr 14 15:39:11 openmediavault.local proftpd[27184]: Starting ftp server: proftpdstart-stop-daemon: matching on world-writable pidfile /run/proftpd.pid is insecure
Apr 14 15:39:11 openmediavault.local proftpd[27184]:  failed!

When checking the /run folder the pid file has not the correct rights:

drwxr-xr-x  2 root     root       60 Apr 14 15:45 proftpd
-rw-rw-rw-  1 root     root        6 Apr 14 15:45 proftpd.pid
-rw-r--r--  1 root     root       32 Apr 14 15:45 proftpd.scoreboard
-rw-r--r--  1 root     root        0 Apr 14 15:45 proftpd.scoreboard.lck

Found a bugtracker addressing this problem but this seems not to work.

It is build in. Here is the part from my actual /srv/salt/omv/deploy/proftpd/default.sls

# It somehow happens that there is a PID file with incorrect permissions
# that will let the sysvinit script fail:
# proftpd[16533]: Starting ftp server: proftpdstart-stop-daemon: matching on world-writable pidfile /run/proftpd.pid is insecure
chmod_proftpd_pidfile:
module.run:
- file.set_mode:
- path: /run/proftpd.pid
- mode: 644
- onlyif: "test -f /run/proftpd.pid"

Whenever I delete the pid file the FTP server works. But with every restart this file is created again. Could anyone please check why this file is generated with the wrong user rights?

I am using OVM 5.3.9 ISO with all updates installed an OVM-Extras. All other serviecs running nicely and OVM 4 had run before without any problems. My system is a N3150 x86 system.

Any updates? Get the same error!

Same here. I just upgraded from OMV4 to OMV5 and I'm getting the exact same issue where `/run/proftpd` is removed upon restart
