FTP not work after fresh installation

vardar · Sep 17th 2020

hello, after a new installation of openmediavault I can't get the ftp server to work.

The service is active (green circle), but not running (red circle). If I look at the messages I find this error:

Code

OMV\ExecException: Failed to execute command 'export PATH=/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin; export LANG=C.UTF-8; ftpwho -v 2>&1' with exit code '1': /run/proftpd.scoreboard: No such file or directory
(Perhaps you need to specify the ScoreboardFile with -f, or change
 the compile-time default directory?) in /usr/share/php/openmediavault/system/process.inc:182
Stack trace:
#0 /usr/share/openmediavault/engined/rpc/ftp.inc(354): OMV\System\Process->execute(Array)
#1 [internal function]: Engined\Rpc\Ftp->getStats(NULL, Array)
#2 /usr/share/php/openmediavault/rpc/serviceabstract.inc(123): call_user_func_array(Array, Array)
#3 /usr/share/php/openmediavault/rpc/rpc.inc(86): OMV\Rpc\ServiceAbstract->callMethod('getStats', NULL, Array)
#4 /usr/sbin/omv-engined(537): OMV\Rpc\Rpc::call('FTP', 'getStats', NULL, Array, 1)
#5 {main}

can anyone tell me how to solve? Thank you.

The problem here is that ftpwho fails because the FTP service unit has been failed to start.

Does the output of systemctl status proftpd help to identify the reason of the error?

Hello,

can you please specify what are we to do if this command yields: Loaded: loaded (etc/init.d/proftpd: generated) Active: Inactive (dead)?

I've read the thread about a debian workaround and the fix, but what do we do with lines of colored code?

add them or delete them ? please be a tiny bit specific for us newbs.

thx
