Hello, I have a problem in my personal server. It runs webmin. Here is the problem: -- Trying to ftp with a user,report the following error: -- 421 Unable to read the indexed puredb file (or old format detected) - Try pure-pw mkdb -- When try to do " pure-pw mkdb " Reports: -- Unable to open the passwd file: No such file or directory -- What Can I Do?! Thank you.

Try rebooting the server.

I think that the problem is with the users. hmm. Anyone who uses webmin,please export your user list as batch file and pm me. Maybe this will help. Much appreciated. Thank you

First of all, I apologize for updating old topic, This is for reference only I think all cPanel servers has this problem and I think again! this is for compatibility between pureftpd and proftpd. and you can only make ftp changes via cPanel interface. It was my own opinion. I'm working on this problem, I have to solve this coz I must change some ftp passwords via ssh. Thank you. Last edited by Bahram0110; 09-17-2011 at 05:03 PM.
