  • Support for BIND DNS has been removed from Plesk for Windows due to security and maintenance risks.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS.

Issue Latest update broke FTP

Rowan

New Pleskian
Since the latest update this week I receive this error when a user tries to connect to FTP

In the log (tail -f /var/log/messages) it displays the following error:

Bash:
proftpd[11996]: mod_ctrls/0.9.5: error: unable to bind to local socket: Permission denied

I cannot really find any suitable solution, does anyone have an idea what this could be?
 
When I lower Selinux to Permissive it changes to the following error:

Bash:
proftpd[3852]: mod_ctrls/0.9.5: error: unable to bind to local socket: Address already in use
 
I suppose that you have proftpd package from Atomic? Check it with:

# rpm -qi psa-proftpd | grep Vendor
Vendor : Atomicorp

In this case exclude psa-proftp package from Atomic repo /etc/yum.repos.d/asl.repo or(and) /etc/yum.repos.d/atomic.repo:

[asl-4.0]
name=Atomicorp - - Atomic Secured Linux 4.0
mirrorlist=file:///etc/asl/asl-4.0-mirrorlist
enabled=1
gpgkey = [file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY.atomicorp.txt](file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY.atomicorp.txt)
gpgcheck=1
exclude=psa-proftpd

Remove psa-proftp package from the server:

# rpm -e --nodeps psa-proftpd

Install psa-proftp package from Plesk repository:

# plesk installer --select-release-current --install-component proftpd

Restart the service:

# systemctl restart xinetd
