Hi People,

I have installed the latest stable release of proftpd on my server
(1.2.8) and I am getting the error message:

"500 Sorry, no server available to handle request on domain.com"

I can connect via the localhost though so I assume it's got something to
do with my firewall even though I have opened ports 20,21.

Here's some info which I hope will help:

from sockstat:

ftp      proftpd  11311    0 tcp4   *:21                  *:*

from ipfw show:

00304   55    2732 allow tcp from any to x.x.x.x/24
20,21,22,25,53,80,443 setup

00400  120   15172 allow udp from x.x.x.x/24 to any 20,21,53,123
keep-state out xmit $oif
00401    7     806 allow udp from any to x.x.x.x/24 20,21,53,123
keep-state in recv $oif

all access to other ports above work fine, just having problem with ftp.

from ps:

ftp      11311  0.0  0.8  1888 1484  ??  Ss    9:41AM   0:00.07 proftpd:
(accepting connections) (proftpd)

Hopefully someone else may have had this problem and can give me a short
answer. I can send more info on request eg. proftpd.conf
I did pickup a lot of this kind of errors via Google but didn't come
across any clear answers and it all seemed firewall related. I also
didn't find anything at www.proftpd.org.

Thanks and kind regards,
Nelis
