ftp will not startup

[labtopia]

i have having an issue where i am trying to setup the ftp service and when i choose to configure it with the little wrench, it give an error

Sorry, an error occured.

if i turn the switch on it says at the top that the service could not be started, this is in the console:

Code:

1964]: Executing: /usr/sbin/service proftpd restart
Jun 15 14:42:40 labpod1 freenas: proftpd not running?

any ideas? otherwise the installation is running fine, i currently have 8.0.1b2 installed

there is your problem. did you add 'umask 18' to your FTP auxiliary configurations? 18 is not a valid option for umask.

no this was a fn8 rc install that was brought forward into the release. i have not made any modifications to any conf files. what should this be? i could i guess go into the cli and try to fix it if i knew what should be in the file.

 

[labtopia]

does anyone have insight into repairing the config file?

thanks

This is a bug bought by one of the 8.0-RC's...
to fix it in 8.0-release manually change the database:

# sqlite3 /data/freenas-v1.db "update services_ftp set ftp_filemask=444, ftp=444;"

thanks,
when i run this command from a root prompt i get
ERROR: no such column: ftp

Thanks for the info in this thread. I had the exact same problem with an invalid umask after an update from 8.0 to 8.0.1, and running the sqlite3 command did the trick, and the FTP service could start so I can configure it correctly.
However, it appears when I updated and reloaded my config, that my previous FTP settings was not loaded. Is this a known error? Thanks again...

Kind of, could you please post your 8.0 db config to https://support.freenas.org/ticket/615 ?

Thank you
