Applicable to:
- Plesk for Linux
Symptoms
ProFTPD can not start with the following error:
Fatal: unable to get connection info: Socket operation on non-socket
Cause
ProFTPD is configured to run in
inetd
mode rather than
standalone. In this mode, the ProFTPD server expects to be started by the inetd (or xinetd) servers, which implies that stdin/stdout will be sockets instead of terminals. As a result, socket operations will fail and the above error will be printed.
Resolution
1. Connect to the server using SSH/RDP.
2. Modify the
/etc/proftpd.conf
configuration file and add or edit the
ServerType
directive as follows:
ServerType standalone
#ServerType inetd
