Stupid Question from a complete newbie

[MrRedHat]

Ok here it goes!!!

I had REDHAT 7.0 Setup with ftp, apache, virtual name based hosting, the whole kit and kaboodle(sp?).

2 days of setting up a control panel inside one of the vu accounts and I come in on the third day and now I can't ftp into the server?

This is what i get:

WINSOCK.DLL: WinSock 2.0
WS_FTP LE 5.06 99.07.21, Copyright © 1992-1999 Ipswitch, Inc.
- -
connecting to 192.168.0.100:21
Connected to 192.168.0.100 port 21
[128] from 192.168.0.1 port 3762
220 localhost.localdomain FTP server (Version wu-2.6.1(1) Wed Aug 9 05:54:50 EDT 2000) ready.
USER thecompu
331 Password required for thecompu.
PASS (hidden)
530 Login incorrect.
! Logon failure, so quitting

I have no idea what happed I just need to get it back to where it was.

Already tried:

Setting up a new user--same error
Changing Passwd files--same error
removing users--same error

I have no ideas why this happened I was thinking maybe on the lines of permission errors or something but then again I'm a newbie!!!

This for sure means you don't have permission to access the server. Check your configuration to see if your user "thecompu" can access your machine. Or you typed the user name or password wrong, remember CaPitOls are different then LowErCaSe.

Also might want to make sure that your user "thecompu" is not listed in your /etc/ftpusers file. That one had me confused for a couple days once...

Check /var/log/messages as well if none of the suggestions worked.

Thanks for all the advise but I still have no idea why it did that, since I started over and everthing is working fine but a couple of times it has done it to me and I restart the pc that I was using to access the server and it worked. I did check the logs messages and everytime there is something about Pam Auth...

No sure.
