Hi, Start from yesterday for my file server, received a lot of email one by one with the same error message description, mainly part I copy here as follows. ============================================================================= Server: (My server) Primary IP: (My file server IP) Service: ftpd Notification Type: failed Notification: ftpd failed @ Wed Jul 30 10:12:15 2014. A restart was attempted automagically. Service Check Method: [check command] Number of Restart Attempts: 182 Service Check Raw Output: proftpd is not running Startup Log: Starting proftpd: 2014-07-30 10:07:15,870 proftpd[32509]: mod_auth_file/1.0: unable to use world-readable AuthUserFile '/home/(domain)/public_html/cgi-bin/ftp/ftp.users' (perms 0644): Operation not permitted 2014-07-30 10:07:15,870 (file server domain) proftpd[32509]: fatal: AuthUserFile: unable to use /home/(domain)/public_html/cgi-bin/ftp/ftp.users: Operation not permitted on line 10 of '/etc/proftpd.conf' [FAILED] Memory Information: Used: 880MB Available: 31050MB Installed: 31930MB chkservd attempts to connect to 127.0.0.1:21 in order to validate this service is functioning. If you have blocked connections with iptables or hosts.allow this failure may be a false positive. You should open the firewall to allow connection as root to 127.0.0.1:21 or disable checks of this service in the Service Manager using the Configure monitor settings link below. ================================================================================
These almost never happened before, and from yesterday, this same email sending one by one with 10-30 minutes inteval to my email address. Could anyone help on this? Regards, ALex

  Hello :) The error message of importance is: [QUOTE] unable to use world-readable AuthUserFile '/home/(domain)/public_html/cgi-bin/ftp/ftp.users' (perms 0644): Operation not permitted fatal: AuthUserFile: unable to use /home/(domain)/public_html/cgi-bin/ftp/ftp.users: Operation not permitted on line 10 of '/etc/proftpd.conf'
  What are the permissions on that ftp.users file? Did you run a recursive chmod at some point that would have changed the permissions of that file? Thank you.

  Hey there, So in this case I just need to modify the permission of this file, and everything would be ok? Regards, Alex

  It's possible, but did you check to see what the permission/ownership values are set to right now? Thank you.
