It will be updated. But not at the moment. V6 is still beta and a lot of things are in the flux. I'll wait until final before I upgrade my server. And only then the plugin will follow. Sorry.

If you installed all plugins from the zip you have the core plugin. So my assumption it is missing was wrong. Did you install the new unraid web gui before installing SF? (Please remove it, if you did - it is not compatible to SF.) To minimize interferences from other plugins I would recommend to test with a stock install without other plugins and only SF core, webserver and virtualbox. Also there are reported problems of virtualbox with 5.04 - I don't know if they are already fixed. edit: Just noticed there is a new web gui made by bonienl available that is made for 5.04 and has a webserver plugin. Maybe it is a better idea to try this than SF?

@jumperalex: You don't need to install SOAP. You have to enable it. Edit the php.ini file in /boot/config/simpleFeatures/ search for the line ;extension=soap.so and remove the ; in front of it. Disable and reenable the webserver. That's it. @Indy1204: I think you need to install the SF base plugin. Having only the webserver one will not work.

Your webserver is not running as the status says "Stopped". You propably have another plugin installed, that installs an older ssl version as is needed by the SF webserver. Or you didn't edit the plugin file to download the correct sqlite package. If you did everything correctly the status should state "Running".

Does the SF webserver actually say it is running? Did you modify the plugin to load the correct sqlite package? (See here.) What other plugins do you have running? Please check that there is none that installs the older openssl package version 0.9.x. You need openssl-solibs-1.0.1c-i486-3.txz.

peter_sm is correct (though only partly). I'm using it myself that way. It doesn't run out of the box however. The SF webserver plugin has to be modified and the soap extension has to be enabled, too. Also the SF webserver plugin might clash with certain plugins and stops working if they are installed. So it depends a little bit on luck, what plugins you use and ones personal linux skills and/or edurance in reading long forum threads to make it work.

Does the unmenu lighttpd install php? If it is only the webserver that gets installed, this is not sufficient to run phpvirtualbox. You also have to install php, make sure lighttpd calls php correctly (mod_fastcgi is installed as a server module) and in php enable the soap extension.

The reason propably is that there is no easy installable webserver plugin for unRAID 5.0.x at the moment. They all have some bugs that need to be resolved by hand. SF is propably still your best bet, but you'll have to remove the "beta" webgui beforehand. Besides the webserver plugin you also need to install the SF core package. Browse the SF webserver plugin thread to read what needs to be modified within the plugin file. If you are using influencer plugins that depend on the older ssl package, they will break the SF webserver. I don't use them, so I have it running on 5.0.2 quite fine. Didn't upgrade to 5.0.3 yet, because there seem to be problems with the virtualbox plugin. I don't know how to get the unraid webserver plugin running. Someone other will have to chime in on this. Another way would be to try and install the necessary webserver and php packages by hand.

Hi cirkator, it is not so much a problem of SimpleFeatures or ProFTPd but of the other plugins you are running on your system. SF Webserver (and maybe other components) need the newer SSL package openssl-1.0.1c-i486-3.txz. Some plugins (Sickbeard, Couchpotato? - I don't really know as I don't use them.) depend on the older openssl-0.9.8n-i486-1.txz package. The current version of ProFTPd works with both the older and newer package, but it installs the older one by default at the moment. I made this decision because the older one is from the slackware version that by limetechs guidelines is to be used when designing plugins for unRAID 5.0.x. SimpleFeatures was made before this guideline was released and decided to use the newer package resulting in the problems with other plugins. So what should you do. Just go ahead and install the ProFTP plugin. Now test if all your plugins work without problems. If you are using the SF Webserver this one will not. If you absolutely need it (like I do) you edit the proftp.plg file and search for this: <FILE Name="&plg;/openssl-0.9.8n-i486-1.txz" Run="upgradepkg --install-new"> <URL>-q --no-check-certificate &dsv;/openssl-0.9.8n-i486-1.txz</URL> </FILE> <?ignore <FILE Name="&plg;/openssl-1.0.1c-i486-3.txz" Run="upgradepkg --install-new"> <URL>-q --no-check-certificate &dsv;/openssl-1.0.1c-i486-3.txz</URL> </FILE> ?> Move the ignore <?ignore ?> tags from the new to the older plugin, save and reboot. The plugin will now install the newer package and SF Webserver will start working again. It might break other plugins however. (On my system it doesn't, but it might on yours.) It should be possible to use SFTP, but I haven't tried and can't assist you other then giving you a link to a post where user Necrotic describes how he has done it. Regarding security: I have my ProFTPD plugins FTP-server running unencrypted on my unRAID and until now there were no security anomalies. Remember to use a non standard port in your router that you forward to your unRAID machines FTP-Port and use a secure password. Using SFTP is a good idea, too. You then should be relatively secure. Of course there is no guarantee that you'll never be hacked even if you do all this. SlrG

Yes, that dependency stuff is annoying as hell. If you follow the instructions I posted above, the install should work just fine on unraid. If you have another system in the vm it won't be much harder. The install script provided by glftpd is quite straightforward. Initial release of a glftpd unraid plugin is nearly ready. Expect it sometime next week.

@all: Side effect of downgrading the package is, that the Simplefeatures Webserver I was still using for VirtualBox stops working if the older ssl package is installed. Manually installing the newer one fixed it, but I thought I'll let you know. Hopefully whoever updates the webserver to be standalone downgrades the package, too. Or all plugin developers should decide to use the newer one.

No problem. Glad I could help you. If you remove the ssl package it will be redownloaded - so no, that won't help you. I'll update the plugin to use the older version and new compiled packages. You'll see that an update is available then. The update will remove the obsolete new ssl version but instead the old one will then be downloaded to the plugin dir if missing.

@Madhouse: No reply from piotrasd yet, but I tried to compile with the older ssl package and it seems to work on my system with the newer one installed, so maybe this new build will work on both. Please download it from here: http://www.sdevel.de/proftpd-1.3.5rc3.tgz Replace the package in /boot/config/plugins/proftpd with this one and either reboot or type installpkg proftpd-1.3.5rc3.tgz. Then try to start the daemon in the plugin settings again.

@Madhouse: No need to uninstall unmenu. I use it myself. spylex is right. As you don't have the package installed via unmenu it is part of another plugin. To find the right one, open the .plg files with a text editor of your choice and search for openssl-0.9.8n-i486-1.txz. If you don't need the identified plugin you could disable it. But chances are you don't want to loose it just to get proftpd working. It then may be possible to replace the old openssl from the plugin to use the new one and the problem will be fixed. But it might break the other plugin so it is not an ideal solution. I contacted the user piotrasd who has a slackware 13.1 build environment. Maybe with his help I'll be able to build a proftpd package with linkedin ssl libraries. It then would not be necessary anymore to install the openssl package and the conflicts will be gone. But until now I did not receive an answer from him. @spylex: I'm still trying out glftpd. If I get it to work with user specific directories I will create a plugin for it. But it will take time.

Thank you. openssl-0.9.8n-i486-1.txz gets installed and overwrites the openssl of my plugin. Please check in unmenu if you have selected the package to be installed there. Disable it and test again (you'll have to reboot).

This is the problem. There is a conflict with the ssl from another plugin. I'll have to check your syslog again.

The config seems to be alright. Now please post your /etc/inetd.conf and the output of: /usr/local/sbin/proftpd -c /etc/proftpd.conf

That might be worth a try. I don't have the control panel plugin running. Could you please post the proftpd.conf before you try?

I'm still fishing in the dark and dont know where the problem is. Could you try the following commands and post their output? ps -A | grep proftpd ls /var/run | grep proftpd Oh and please post a zip of your /etc/proftpd.conf

That is only the command line output. Please post the syslog messages from that timeframe, too.

Please open a shell window and type: /etc/rc.d/rc.proftpd start Please post the output and syslog messages this generates.

@spylex: glftpd looks nice, but I think it will be hard getting it to run on unraid. I'll give it a try and report back. edit: Using the install script in the archive it is possible to install glftpd on unraid. To get the server to work, a ssl certificate hast to be created. For this to work the openssl.cfg has to be symlinked to openssl.cnf. Then use the script provided by glftpd to create the cert. Add glftpd: ALL to hosts.allow. As the created files should be identical to each unraid installation it should be possible to put them in a plugin. I don't have the time to do this however. glftpd is nice, but I found no way to limit users to specific directories. A requirement I just need.

@Madhouse: I did look through your syslog, but didn't find anything unusual. The plugin should work fine. So i'll have to ask some questions to find the problem. Do you have a proftpd icon under settings? If you have and click on it, what do you see? Is the status "running" or "stopped"? Is a newer version reported under updates? Do you have a config editor in the lower half of the window? Did you do any changes to the base config file? Do you have created a ftpuser using unraids "Users" dialog? Did you restart proftpd after creating the user? The name of the user is free for you to choose, but the keyword ftpuser has to be put into the comment field for each user you want to access your proftp.

I'm out of town for a few days. I'll have a look on the syslog and on glftpd when I'm back. Sorry.

Plugin version is 0.5g now from 2013-07-17. If you have another version, please try to download from the first post and reinstall. If it doesn't work, please provide a syslog. If you already are at this version, please provide a syslog, too.
