It's really weird. Because I was on CentOS 5 still with Plesk 12. So I decided to setup a new server and migrate my accounts to the new server.
So the server was based on a clean install.
I am running now:
CentOS Linux 7.1.1503 (Core)
12.5.30 Update #12, last updated at Nov 26, 2015 12:34 PM
psa-proftpd 1.3.6-9.el7.art
Unless I am mistaken, it's exactly the same as you... Weird that I am experiencing problems. Though it's only with the FTP, as I mentioned.
Ran the update again, checked if FTP was working again (= yes) and ran 'rpm -q psa-proftpd'
psa-proftpd-1.3.6-9.el7.art.x86_64
Next I opened /etc/proftpd.conf and searched for the 'ScoreboardFile'-setting:
ScoreboardFile /var/run/proftpd/scoreboard
At first I thought it was the same, however re-read your post and noticed a difference, so I changed it to:
/var/run/proftpd.scoreboard
Followed by running 'touch /var/run/proftpd.scoreboard'
Rebooted the machine. And checked if I could login on FTP.
Guess what... Yes! So this is solved.
My knowledge is limited, but how is it possible that this happened with a clean install?
Is it a bug, or something different?
Anyways, many thanks to websavers for solving this!!
Though it was not a serious issue, especially considering I am the only one using this server, it was annoying, because I had to run those commands every time when I wanted to upload something.
And to be honest; I also think another server of ours has the same issue, but thanks to you, I will be able to solve this!
Thank you once again!
Regards
