Hi!
due to the recent security problems (see WHM/cpanel news) of "proftp" i would like to switch to "pure-ftp".
unfortunately it doesnt work! still proftp is been displayed and used.
what i have done so far:
1. tried to switch to "pure-ftpd" by clicking the button.
Main >> Service Configuration >> FTP Configuration
==> result: no change!
2. restarted ftp-server
==> result: no change!
3. edited the setup option FTPTYPE-0 from <proftpd> to <pure-ftpd>
Main >> Server Setup >> Edit Setup
==> result: no change!
4. restarted ftp-server
==> result: no change!
output result by restarting ftp-service ( /scripts/resproftpd ):

Cpanel is like windows you must reinstall to get it to work sometimes.
However it being on Linux there are other ways reinstalling cpanel is the easy est though. IN my opinion.

ahh but that is cheating and what is the fun in that.
What happens if you run "/scripts/ftpup pure-ftpd" from the command line?

.................should i contact the servermatrix support or the cpanel support now?
thx
Open up a support ticket, through Orbit, we will be able to help you sort this out. In the mean time, this should get you started.
You will need to rebuild the RPM database. You can run these commands to get this done.
That should get you past the RPM error.

CHEATER!! lol, but that costs 1 hour admin time ^_^, and its kind of a waste of your hour considering it took me a whole 5 min to do this.
I meant a ticket with cPanel. as it says any customers that have problems they will sort it out as it is quite a major security bug!
@kfukasawa:
i opened a support ticket now cause there are coming up more and more problems...
i have executed your code. now i got this error message by rebuilding the rpm:
---

I think you'll find thats something only TP can fix. basically someone forgot to put the registration information in that allows you to connect to the redhat network.
You might on the ticket also ask them to make sure that everything is up2date and that the kernel is the latest supported version. This should all be done FoC as it is part of silver services.
