FTP not working anymore.... PROFTPD won't start

[enemy85]

Hi guys, here is my big problem:

I settled all my Freenas 9.1.1 box and even if with slow speed performance because of my poor hardware I was able to run all the services i needed (FTP, SCSI, CIFS, DDNS, SSH, emails) until the other day that i created a dataset called SYSLOG (as a guy in the forum said), in order to have all the logs in that place.
Since that day, FTP service is not working anymore and the console message says:

Sep 30 17:42:38 freenas notifier: Starting proftpd.
Sep 30 17:42:38 freenas notifier: freenas.local proftpd[3664]: Fatal: SyslogFacility: unable to open syslog: Operation not permitted on line 10 of '/usr/local/etc/proftpd.conf'
Sep 30 17:42:38 freenas root: /usr/local/etc/rc.d/proftpd: WARNING: failed to start proftpd
Sep 30 17:42:38 freenas notifier: /usr/local/etc/rc.d/proftpd: WARNING: failed to start proftpd

I guess the problem is because of the SYSLOG dataset i created...isn't it?
I tried to cancel that dataset, but the system says "cannot unmont, device busy"

How do I solve that?
Thank you for the help

no suggestions?

It looks like your FTP fails to start because it's unable to open syslog.
I'm guessing it's because it doesn't have read/write access to the dataset or it can't find the dataset.

thank you for the reply,
it could be that the problem, but how can i solve it?

Actually, I just noticed something on your logs.
Can you post here the contents of line 10 of your /usr/local/etc/proftpd.conf file?

 

[enemy85]

the content of line 10 is

1. SyslogFacility ftp

Please don't crosspost - please continue with the other thread.

What are the permissions on your syslog dataset that you created?

Same problem here. Set permission 777 on dataset syslog, but it does not help. If I comment with # line 10, when I start the service my changes are overwritten. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yep. As such, I am going to lock this thread.
