Use of Mysql with Proftpd
Last modified: 2007-11-30 17:11:30 EST
Description of problem: Proftpd can't run when mysql is configured with it Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.3.0-0.2 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1.Add mysql configuration to the proftpd.conf file 2.Run the proftpd daemon . The daemon won't run. Actual results: Impossible to connect to localhost ftp server Expected results: Proftpd with mysql should work Additional info: Maybe proftpd was not compiled with mysql support
Indeed, it is compiled without mysql, postgresql and ldap. The reason was that it used to mean adding dependencies to all of these libraries even if all that was needed was a very basic ftp setup, so they could be optionally enabled at build time. Since recent proftpd releases support DSOs, I've recompiled 1.3.0 final with mysql, postgresql and ldap modules in 3 sub-packages, which are optional. It will be built for devel very soon, then backported to FC-5. All you'll need to do is update your proftpd package and install the new proftpd-mysql sub-package.
The new packages are now also built for FC-5 and should be available very soon.
