ioftpd won't start...

Ludicrous · 08-22-2006, 04:13 PM

ok, this is my first go at ioftpd. I downloaded the latest beta release (ioFTPD-beta5-8-4u)
I am using windows xp sp2.

i was fallowing the documentation, provided here: http://www.inicom.net/pages/en.ioftp...tation.php?s=2

i did everything it said to due, yet when i run the ioftpd.exe nothing happens. I don't see it in the running processes in taskmanager. it doesn't appear to be listenening when i due a netstat -a. No log files int the logs dir, and i can't connect via ftp to 127.0.0.1:9999. I figure i must be missing something but im not to sure what it is atm. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

here is my default.vfs

Code:

"C:\ftp\IOFTPD" /

here is my ioftpd.ini

Code:

I had this problem...drove me mad!!!

then I found something in the KB that says the exe is case sensitive..so make sure it's ioFTPD.exe (not all upper or lower case)

worked for me

The guys at #ioftpd helped med out, thanks again.

and the problem was that I have missed the Host.Rules editing entry in the docs. So after editing /etc/Hosts.Rules it works.
