Installed Webmin successfully on a Debian system.
Created a virtual server, added some users and a domain.
Installed ProFTPD via Webmin's unused modules.
Added a new user with same named group via System -> Users and Groups.
Tried to connect via ftp using my server's external ip and my new user's credentials.
This should work according to most tutorials but it doesn't.
I'm suspecting some other service handles FTP requests before ProFTPD.
Is there a way to monitor protocol handlers? Could it be something else?
Thanks in advance.
because webmin try start it as deamon, but maybe (like me on archlinux) you need to start it as system service... on root:
systemctl start proftpd.service
If you want to look at the logs error (if there is errors, but if server is not start, it should ne have error...) then use:
journalctl -xe command (as root), or
systemctl --failed , or
systemctl status proftpd.service (all of these commands under root user or sudoers users).
So first of all, check that service is running:
systemctl status
then check the config file of webmin service for proftpd use the correct protocol for call service (systemd for example), and then use correct sentence code for start/stop it. Check also it goes to look at the correct config file of proftpd current install place (depend of your distribution or the way you install it).
proftpd is not installed by webmin, proftpd is installed, then from webmin, you install a module who has to communicate with allready installed application proftpd. If this module is well configured for point on actual proftpd installation and correct call of service, then all will have to works.
(please, if this answer help you, do up vote for my answer, without notation when i help, i can not help more because i'm locked by the system, hope you understand)
Have a look at the server's log, check le ProFTP daemon status, check the firewall

I'm a student working on a test cluster, consisting of around 25 hosts. We installed using Ambari and have FreeIpa running on a host as a dns and ldap server. The rest are typical Hadoop
infrastructure. Hive was failing and I wondered whether the db connection parameters used during the Ambari installation were incorrect and I tried to find a way to re-run the db connection process. I didn't get anywhere and it was late so I left it, ambari interface working.
Next morning, ambari webUI seems to be down. I thought that maybe the webserver needed restarted so I tried the following:
[akidd#dw ~]$ sudo ambari-server start
Using python /usr/bin/python
Starting ambari-server
ERROR: Exiting with exit code 1.
REASON: Unable to detect a system user for Ambari Server.
- If this is a new setup, then run the "ambari-server setup" command to create the user
- If this is an upgrade of an existing setup, run the "ambari-server upgrade" command.
Refer to the Ambari documentation for more information on setup and upgrade.
Can anyone help me to understand what could have happened?
If I run ambari-server setup will the existing cluster be ok assuming I create everything like for like with how it was originally?
Thanks for your help!
#user3535074 You should try to start it with the user that installed it.
If you do run ambari-server setup as current user, remember to choose No the following options:
Customize user account for ambari-server daemon [y/n] (n)? n
Do you want to change Oracle JDK [y/n] (n)? n
Enter advanced database configuration [y/n] (n)? n

How to spin up a local version of Spinnaker? This has been answered and addressed in detail here.
https://github.com/spinnaker/spinnaker/issues/1729
Ok, so I got it to work, but not without you valuable help! #lwander
So I'll leave the steps here for posterity.
Each line is a separate command in the command line, I've installed this on a virtual machine with a freshly installed Ubuntu 14.04 copy with nothing else than SSH. Then SSH as root, You will need to configure sshd on your console to allow root access.
https://askubuntu.com/questions/469143/how-to-enable-ssh-root-access-on-ubuntu-14-04
> curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/spinnaker/halyard/master/install/stable/InstallHalyard.sh
created a user account member of the adm and sudo groups (is this necessary???)
then Install Halyard:
bash InstallHalyard.sh
Verify that HAL is installed and validate its version.
hal -v
Tell Hal that the deployment type will be as a local instance (this will publish all services in localhost which will be tricky later in order to access them, but I have a turnaround so keep reading)
hal config deploy edit --type localdebian
Hal will complain that a version has not been selected, just tell HAL which version:
hal config version edit --version 1.0.0
The tell HAL which storage you are going to use, in my case and since it is local I want to use redis.
hal config storage edit --type redis
So now we need to add a cloud provider to HAL, we use AWS so we add it like this:
hal config provider aws edit --access-key-idXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX--secret-access-key
I created a user on AWS and added access keys to the user inside IAM on the user security credentials tab. Obviously my access-key-idis not XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX, I edited it. You do not need to enter the secret-access-key because the command will prompt for it.
Then you need to create a username relative or that will only concern you spinnaker installation however this will get related to you AWS Account-ID, so in MY spinnaker local installation I chose the username spinnakermaster you should choose yours!. And my AWS Account ID is not YYYYYYYYYYYY, I've edited too.
All the configurations and steps that you'll need to do inside AWS for this to work are really well documented here:
[https://www.spinnaker.io/setup/providers/aws/](https://www.spinnaker.io/setup/providers/aws/
)
And to tell HAL of of the above here's the command:
hal config provider aws account add spinnakermaster --account-id YYYYYYYYYYYY --assume-role role/spinnakerManaged
And after all that and if everything went according to plan we can ask HAL to deploy our brand new spinnaker installation.
hal deploy apply
It will begin a long installation downloading and configuring all the services.
Once it has finished you may do whatever you like but in my case I created a monitoring script like the one described here:
https://github.com/spinnaker/spinnaker/issues/854
Which can be launched on a recursive manner as this:
watch -n1 spinnaker-status.shor until toctrl+Cit!.
then to be able to access your local VM spinnaker copy you can either setup a reverse proxy with the proxy server of your choice to forward all the requests to localhost or you can simply ssh the SH** out of this redirecting the ports;
ssh root#ZZZ.ZZZ.ZZZ.ZZZ -L 9000:127.0.0.1:9000 -L 8084:127.0.0.1:8084 -L 8083:127.0.0.1:8083 -L 7002:127.0.0.1:7002 -L 8087:127.0.0.1:8087 -L 8080:127.0.0.1:8080 -L 8088:127.0.0.1:8088 -L 8089:127.0.0.1:8089
Where obviously theZZZ.ZZZ.ZZZ.ZZZ is not an actual IP Address.
And finally to begin having fun with this cutie you have to go to your browser of choice and type into the address bar:
http://127.0.0.0:9000
Hope this helps and saves some time to everybody!.
Cheers.

Need instructions on how i can install and configure SNMPD service on the logical F5s servers.
on RHEL servers, I can update /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf file and restart the snmpd process with command # service snmpd restart.
but in my F5 server i can't find /etc/snmp/ directory and snmpd does not appear to be a valid service. Kindly provide steps for updating the snmp.conf file and how to restart the process on F5 node.
snmpd is a service that already exists on the F5 device, it just needs to be configured. This is done via the gui or cli with tmsh, not direct edit of the snmp config file.
GUI steps
CLI assistance - tmsh help /sys snmp
On a Windows 7 Enterprise machine, I made a fresh install of Erlang 17.4 and RabbitMQ 3.4.3 x64. The installation was successful and uneventful.
I have not yet tried to create my first queue or exchange, but I already see trouble. This problem is similar to another SO post, but that other post appears to involve clustering, which I don't have. Furthermore, that other poster can circumvent his issue by restarting the RabbitMQ service; that approach does not work for me.
My "nodedown" problem is evident at the RabbitMQ command prompt:
C:\Program Files (x86)\RabbitMQ Server\rabbitmq_server-3.4.3\sbin>rabbitmqctl status
Status of node rabbit#TPAJ05421843 ...
Error: unable to connect to node rabbit#TPAJ05421843: nodedown
DIAGNOSTICS
attempted to contact: [rabbit#TPAJ05421843]
rabbit#TPAJ05421843:
* connected to epmd (port 4369) on TPAJ05421843
* epmd reports: node 'rabbit' not running at all
other nodes on TPAJ05421843: ['RabbitMQ']
* suggestion: start the node
current node details:
- node name: 'rabbitmqctl-19884#TPAJ05421843'
- home dir: H:\
- cookie hash: PD4QQCYrf0TME9vIko3Xuw==
Based on the above, I chose to check the status of the node explicitly named 'RabbitMQ'. I get this:
C:\Program Files (x86)\RabbitMQ Server\rabbitmq_server-3.4.3\sbin>rabbitmqctl -n RabbitMQ status
Status of node 'RabbitMQ#TPAJ05421843' ...
Error: unable to connect to node 'RabbitMQ#TPAJ05421843': nodedown
DIAGNOSTICS
attempted to contact: ['RabbitMQ#TPAJ05421843']
RabbitMQ#TPAJ05421843:
* connected to epmd (port 4369) on TPAJ05421843
* epmd reports node 'RabbitMQ' running on port 59301
* TCP connection succeeded but Erlang distribution failed
* suggestion: hostname mismatch?
* suggestion: is the cookie set correctly?
current node details:
- node name: 'rabbitmqctl-23076#TPAJ05421843'
- home dir: H:\
- cookie hash: PD4QQCYrf0TME9vIko3Xuw==
Ok, this is barely better since at least it acknowledges 'RabbitMQ' running on port 59301. But what the heck could it mean that "Erlang distribution failed"?
When I try to research this topic, I found articles saying "be sure you have matched cookies." Based on that I found this article, which claims the "cookie mismatch" does not pertain to me, because I have not created (nor intend to create) a RabbitMQ cluster.
What should I do?
I had this same problem today. There were no cookie or firewall problems and windows reported that the service was running successfully. This is what finally fixed it:
Run RabbitMQ sbin command prompt as administrator.
Run "rabbitmq-service remove"
Run "rabbitmq-service install"
For some reason the service set up by the installer did not configure several registry entries. Running this set them correctly and allowed the service to run.
One thing I noticed was that before I did this, there was no description of the service in the Windows Services view. After installing with the rabbitmq-service command, the description was visible. This might be a quick indicator if you are having the same problem.
As #eddyP commented, I had two different Erlang cookie files:
A server cookie file, located at $env:WINDIR\system32\config\systemprofile\.erlang.cookie (prior to Erlang 20.2 it was located at $env:WINDIR\.erlang.cookie).
A client cookie file, located at $env:USERPROFILE\.erlang.cookie.
Copying the server cookie file over the client one, so that both files were the same, fixed the problem for me.
For further details, see "How Nodes (and CLI tools) Authenticate to Each Other: the Erlang Cookie".
From RabbitMQ Command Prompt sbin (run as administrator) execute this command:
rabbitmq-server restart
In Windown, For some reason delete all folder in c:\Users\xxx\AppData\Roaming\RabbitMQ\db\ (xxx is your username)
then flow #Jerdev answer and
start rabbitmq net start rabbitmq
check rabbitmq service rabbitmqctl status
The same question on the RabbitMQ mailing list: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/rabbitmq-users/0s1ExFhl4hM.
The Erlang cookie is used by rabbitmqctl as well as server nodes, so it may need being taken care of (placed in the correct location).
See "Installing as a non-administrator user leaves .erlang.cookie in the wrong place" on Windows quirks.
I resolve my problem doing this in Windows 10.
Execute RabbitMQ Command Prompt (sbin dir) as administrator.
Execute "rabbitmq-service remove" in (RabbitMQ Command Prompt).
Execute %AppData% in Run Dialog Box of Windows.
Delete all files in RabbitMQ folder.
Execute "rabbitmq-service install" in (RabbitMQ Command Prompt).
Execute "rabbitmqctl start_app" in (RabbitMQ Command Prompt).
If you come here looking for a linux answer for the same error message, try
sudo service rabbitmq-server start
(which is not a blocking command)
Just do the following:
Uninstall rabbitmq and erlang.
delete the rabbitmq folder existing in your appdata (if you dont
know the appdata location, just type echo %AppData% in the command
prompt)
Then install erlang first and then rabbitmq.
After installing, enable the management plugin using below command:
rabbitmq-plugins enable rabbitmq_management
For me the cookies didnt match, like the other comments but the locations was in a different path for those having the same issue as me C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile
That is happening because rabbit MQ is not being installed correctly on Windows (and this error is misleading!). So to solve it do the following:
type "cmd" in Cortana search or in "Run" for older version of Windows
right click on in and choose "Run as Administrator"
go to rabbit's sbin folder (cd "C:\Program Files\RabbitMQ Server\rabbitmq_server-3.7.4\sbin")
run: rabbitmq-service remove
run: rabbitmq-service install
now you can run
6. rabbitmq-plugins enable rabbitmq_management
7. rabbitmq-service start
8. and, finally, run: start http://localhost:15672
9. log on as user "guest" with password: "guest" and that's it. Happy Rabbiting!
I missed restarting my WINDOWS OS and then deleting the old version of ERLANG (which I uninstalled before restarting).
Somehow the fresh installation of Rabbit was referring to the old (un-installed version) and all the mismatch was happening. Clue was the 'services' referred Rabbit from the old ERLANG version.
This is how I resolved the error in my Windows 8 system:
Check for a syntax error in the rabbitmq.config file placed in the AppData folder for Windows.
How to check if there is any syntax error?
You can run rabbitmq-server restart from sbin folder in:
Program Files/RabbitMQ/rabbitmq_server_x.x/sbin/.
Replace the content of the rabbitmq.config with rabbitmq.config.example.
You may find the rabbitmq.config.example in:
Program Files/RabbitMQ/rabbitmq_server_x.x/etc/
Warning, you will lose the configuration you have saved previously with rabbitmq.
After changing the files, just hit
rabbitmq-server restart
in the sbin folder mentioned above.
I entered ssh-host-config into the cygwin prompt (started with admin privileges), said yes to privilege separation, new local account sshd, install sshd as a service; I entered no value for CYGWIN for daemon; I entered no for using a different name; yes for creating new privilege user account.
In my services.msc I am unable to start the service:
The CYGWIN sshd service on Local Computer started and then stopped.
Some services stop automatically if they are not in use by other services
or programs.
In the cygwin prompt, net start sshd produces:
The CYGWIN sshd service could not be started.
The service did not report an error.
More help is available by typing NET HELPMSG 3534
In the cygwin prompt, cygrunsrv -S sshd produces:
cygrunsrv: Error starting a service: QueryServiceStatus: Win32 error 1062:
The service has not been started.
My /var/log/sshd.log says the following:
Unable to initialize device PRN
I've searched the questions on SO related to this issue, as well as the general Internet, and I guess what makes my question unique has to do with the sshd.log. I can't find anyone else who has received this.
I'm doing this to install Hadoop on my Windows. I cannot run a virtual machine on this slow computer as everything just bogs down.
I followed the steps in this topic and the problem was still happening, then I checked the sshd log file and it was complaining that the privilegies of the ssh private key were to open.
I executed the follow command:
chmod 400 /etc/ssh_host_ecdsa_key
Then I run the service:
net start sshd
It finally worked (BTW: I am using Windows 8)
I had the same problem and here is the solution that worked for me.
Solution 1
Restart the machine after you set the path environment variables to point to Cygwin bin directories and then start the service.
Solution 2
First add the account that runs the Cygwin sshd demon service to administrators group (this is by default)
Go to your cygwin installation folder (mine is at c:\cygwin64 and yours may differ)
add administrators group as full control. remove the property
Remove Readonly for your cygwin installation folder so anyone can write into it
Run the cygwin terminal as administrator and remove the service by typing
cygrunsrv -R sshd
Reboot your system
Run the cygwin terminal as administrator and reinstall the service again by typing
ssh-host-config -y
Run the cygwin terminal as administrator and start the service by typing
net start sshd
Your service now be running!
I tried above solutions but nothing worked for me.
I am using Windows 8 and was able to solve it.
My sshd.log file says : "Privilege separation user sshd does not exist FAILED"
So to remove this error while starting sshd as service just following below steps:
Edit the file /etc/passwd --
add " sshd:x:74:74:Privilege-separated SSH:/var/empty/sshd:/sbin/nologin ".
Edit the file /etc/group --
add " sshd:x:74: ".
Now start service as
net start sshd
It worked for me!
Followed the steps provide by Andrea Solution 1 and solution 2 , it did not work. Event viewer did not provide any info.
So took a look at the log var/log/sshd.log first it complained that it was unable to load the dll:
/usr/sbin/sshd.exe: error while loading shared libraries: cygcrypto-1.0.0.dll
Solution:
Reinstalled the package and ensured that the dll were in lib.
Started the service again still it failed but this time it complained about missing host key.
Could not load host key: /etc/ssh_host_dsa_key
Could not load host key: /etc/ssh_host_ecdsa_key
Disabling protocol version 2. Could not load host key
sshd: no hostkeys available -- exiting.
Solution:
go to the Cygwin Command prompt (with run as admin ) and
enter ssh-keygen -A
the missing host key were generated .
Finally I was able to start it.
I would recommend looking at the log file further if the above solution does not work.
In my case (using a Polish version of Windows 8) I had to manually modify the /etc/passwd and /etc/group files.
Some lines for Administrator, Administrators, Guest, Guests, etc. had been missing, so I merely inserted them, and copied all other fields from their non-English versions. Eg.
nano /etc/passwd

Only after this, I was finally able to chmod g-rwx all the files that offended sshd, in a way that 'ls -la' indeed confirmed the dropped permissions for group and other.
Then finally, privileged CYGWIN services installed and started (sshd, cron)
