[SOLVED]Proftpd and mysql compile option

madeye · 2008-11-25 21:06:24

I am trying to setup proftpd with mysql user authentication.
However when I start the daemon, I get error messages regarding the lines in my config file concerning mysql.
I believe that it may be caused by proftpd not being compiled with the option given below. But is there a way I can check this?

./configure --with-modules=mod_sql:mod_sql_mysql

(found on http://www.castaglia.org/proftpd/doc/co … O-SQL.html)

A search on the forum did not shed any light on this particular situation.

I was trying to follow the instructions on this page to setup the server.

Any pointers in the right direction are appreciated.

The normal package doesn't support SQL, you should try this instead: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=12582

Thanks for the info. I had guessed I would need to use a special compiled version.
It's very helpful that AUR always have the packages I need

I am however still curious to know if I can see what options the official package are compiled with somewhere.

Look in the PKGBUILD in your abs tree.

OK. Thanks. I will take a look at the ABS system.
I need to play a little with building a system from scratch anyway.

And just to be on top of things. Merry X-mas to everyone
