Help Getting Started

[houston]

Well I dont know how to ask I read the documentation over and over i searched through the forums its seems simple enough but I dont know how to start io. I commented the

### Encryption ###
#
Require_Encrypted_Auth = !*
Require_Encrypted_Data = !*
#Certificate_Name = 192.168.1.10

which says it wont start if i dont do this. I didnt change the ftpd name. I commented the DENY in host rules. I tried to do this months ago couldent figure it out and just gave up because I didnt want to ask. So please dont flame me. I read this

http://www.ioftpd.com/kb/view.php?kbid=77

i didnt touch UserIdTable so that shoudl be fine default right ?

I tried to run it by double clicking ioFTPD.exe and running it through command prompt. (case sensitive) I looked in the logs dir to see any errors but the dir is empty. The FTPD doesnt even seem to load at all i just double click and get nothing.


Thanks for your help.

I get the same thing man.... I have no clue whats going on. But, luckily I have an old installation laying around here of the SAME EXACT version, I just copied everything over and it work... but when I use the new ioFTPD executable from this site it doesnt even seem to run.. no errors, no signs of life.

@Houston
ioFTPD has no GUI, it runs very quietly. You can dbl click it to start it, and it looks like nothing happens, but check your task list to make sure it isn't actually running.

[mr_F_2]

uhh
if you follow the documentation you should be able to set it up no problem.

you said you commented out the DENY line
well did you uncomment the ACCEPT line?

if ioFTPD.exe isn't in your process list there's a very good chance (99% positive) that there's problems with your ini (or host rules, or VFS even)... make sure you set up EVERYTHING relatively positively before you try to run ioFTPD.exe. They don't launch a ship into outer space after only building the body. :P

[houston]

I didn't uncomment the accept line, but that didn't seem to make it work when uncommented. It still doesnt launch. Also dink I understand its a has no gui I did in fact check processes and its not launching. Are there suppose to be any logs written when it crashes or unsuccessfully launches? I put the files on the next reply. Do I expect you to actually read them ? no but I am thankful if you do. Also how are the services created ?

I searched for vsf and removed samba since i dont think i have that. Thats for a windows/linux network right ?

admin.vfs

"c:\ioFTPD\site"        /
"c:\"                   /mnt/c-drive

1----------

in your Host.Rules, delete the line:
DENY I 192.168. "Banned network address"
as you will be banned from your own server, and you probably don't want that because you have
ACCEPT I 192.168.1. ADMIN -1

just about it.

DENY > ACCEPT, so you will be denied

2-------
to be safe (i'm not sure if it matters or not), comment out the encryption lines to (under FTP_Service):
#Explicit_Encryption = True
#Encryption_Protocol = SSL3
#Min_Cipher_Strength = 128
#Max_Cipher_Strength = 256

3--------
unless you have a bouncer set
Get_External_Ident = False

4-------
to be safe, set (For HTTP_SERVICE)
Messages = ..\text\http2
just in case it's having problems loading those files

5------
under [Sections] remove line:
Home = 0 1 /home/*
because it doesn't seem like you have the virtual directory /home/ (given by your vfs files)


------
other than that i can't see the problem it should be working, seems fine to me.
try those and report back i guess

are you sure the process isn't listed at all in taskman?

[houston]

I tried that as well and it still doesnt start. Maybe its a unique problem with my box. You would think it would still start with that line. just say access denied while conencting right ? Thanks for your efforts in helping me.

[houston]

and yea im sure its not running. here is a pic of my processes in alphabetical order. When i run it my screen kind of flickers for a fraction of a second. So its trying to load I assume.

[EwarWoo]

Check SystemError.log in the log files.
Also check to see if its dumped a crash log in root of C drive.

[houston]

no I didnt find a log in either of those locations.

[Zer0Racer]

Since the unregistered version doesn't support SSL I wouldn't have touched any settings at all in ini. Either try the default ini (fresh from the package) or uncomment the certificate line.

tried it still now go. the reason i commented it is because the directions said to.

[mr_F_2]

if the default ini is not working, without any changes, then your system probably has some fault with it.

[houston]

yea somethings wrong i copied the files over to my laptop and it ran. I dont know what could be wrong I never had any problems running appz before on my pc. only ioFTPD. weird eh ? laptop and pc are both xpSP2. Thanks for the help now to figure out what could be wrong with my pc....
