RE: Rehat 8 - How to Setup FTP Server
chkconfig does it for you. Xinetd services are the only thing (I've noticed) that this applies to. -Steve While chkconfig does it the easiest way you can manually edit the specific service within xinetd.d directory and then do a service xinetd restart.

Disable is already set to no. When I do: service xinetd stop or start - it works When I do: servicevsftpd stop or start - itsays "unrecognized service". However when I go through the Gnome GUI and click Services, it is listed and checked, but the stop/start buttons are greyed out...

RE: Rehat 8 - How to Setup FTP Server
It sounds like there may be some confusion as to what the service command does. /sbin/service is basically a script that prepends /etc/init.d to whatever argument you feed it. When you enter service vsftpd start it says service not found because it has no script in /etc/init.d. The reason it has no script in /etc/init.d is because it is an xinetd service and must be started/stopped within xinetd. The easiest way to manage services (xinetd based or other) is through chkconfig. Just type chkconfig --list service name and it will tell you whether it is enabled or not. To enable a service, do chkconfig service name on. If it is xinetd based, it will change to disabled to no and restart xinetd for you. Naturally xinetd should also be enabled to run at boot chkconfig --list xinetd. -Steve -Original Message- From: Real Cucumber [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, July 24, 2003 12:58 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Rehat 8 - How to Setup FTP Server Disable is already set to no.

Did you make sure that xinetd was turned on: chkconfig --list xinetd And to make sure it is running: service xinetd status Also, to make sure firewall rules aren't getting in the way do: netstat -tln If http and ftp are running you'll see them listening on their associated ports (0.0.0.0:80 for http, 0.0.0.0:21 for ftp, 0.0.0.0:23 for telnet).

When you enter "service vsftpd start"it says service not found because it has no script in /etc/init.d. The reason it has no scrip! t in /etc/init.d is because it is an xinetdservice and must be started/stopped within xinetd.The easiest way to manage services (xinetd based or other) is throughchkconfig. Just type "chkconfig --list " and it willtell you whether it is enabled or not. To enable a service, do"chkconfig on". If it is xinetd based, it will changeto "disabled" to "no" and restart xinetd for you. Naturally xinetdshould also be enabled to run at boot "chkconfig --list xinetd".-Steve-Original Message-From: Real Cucumber [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]Sent: Thursday, July 24, 2003 12:58 PMTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]Subject: RE: Rehat 8 - How to Setup FTP ServerDisable is already set to no.When I do:service xinetd stop or start - it worksWhen I do:service vsftpd stop or start - it says "unrecognized service".However when I go through the Gnome GUI and click Services, it is listed and checked, but the stop/start buttons are greyed out...I have no idea what is going on - its a fresh install of RH8 in server mode - and I can't get vsftp to run."Thomas E.
