ProFTPD doesn't restart properly (Debian Wheezy, Ubuntu Precise, Trusty...)

@Iceman

Fine for me. Thanks

I have the same Problem.

https://youtrack.i-mscp.net/issue/IP-1402

Will be fixed in version 1.2.18.

ATM, I see the following bugs:

ProFTPD under Debian Wheezy

Reload (signal HUP) fails due to a segfault somewhere. See related report bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=594449
Unfortunately, this issue has been addressed for a later proftpd version. The fix has not been backported to version available in Wheezy repository.

Debian Wheezy / Ubuntu 12.04/14.04

Restart fails. See related report bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/proftpd-dfsg/+bug/1246245
This include restart problem on proftpd log rotation.

Here, we must workaround this bug. The only way is to provide our own init script for those versions.

A fix has been added in the 1.2.x branch. See https://github.com/i-MSCP/imsc…b4522e5116...b32be3a778ee
This fix will be part of version 1.2.18.

Be aware that this fix does only address the restart issue on Wheezy/Precise/Trusty. We cannot fix the reload problem. That is not really a problem for us because we don't rely on SIGHUP and because the logrotate configuration file that we provide triggers a full restart (once a week).

Thank you for your report.

Thanks for working on it and the detailed reports.
