• The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    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. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

Hi,

i have a server setup with many users. There is one single website on there which has been created with plesk. I have many users with their own ftp account where they can upload files to be processed for the main database. these accounts have been created via the command line.

the proftp has been setup with the /etc/inetd.conf in inetd mode. this has ben working great.

My problem is the ftp server crashing. frequently i get connection refused messages from the ftp clients and have to either wait a while for it to get in, or so restart the openbsd-inetd.

I have now created a script which tried to connect to vtp, if it cannot connect or login it then restarts the openbsd-inetd. This appears to have worked but i am not happy with this script running every minute (which it needs to do).

Is this a simple too many connection issue and increasing the max connections would fix it. if so how do i increase it, i see that there is a message in proftp's config file that it doesn't work in non stand alone mondes. how do i increase this via inetd?

Chris
