Do you have the ip_vs_ftp module loaded?
In fairness to Joe, he told me to load the ftp helper module in his very
first message on Friday morning, but I questioned this because the HOWTO
states in several places that the helper module is only required for
*passive* ftp. Then Graeme read the source code and confirmed that the
helper is in fact required for active FTP.
Unfortunately, I thought the module was already loaded because
ip_vs_ftp.ko showed up in the output of modprobe. That was a pure newbie
mistake. I checked just now and lsmod did not show it. After loading it,
things now work correctly!
this has been a long haul. The ftp_helper strikes again. I'm
glad we've figured out what's going on.
A couple of observations...
1. Joe, I gather from this that ip_vs_ftp does NOT necessarily load
automatically when you run ipvsadm with ftp as a virtual service, as you
indicated on Friday. Does that mean I should put it in rc.local?
I guess so, anywhere will do.
Horms,
Eric's setup didn't load ip_vs_ftp. Any ideas what
might be going on?
2. It might be a good idea to amend the HOWTO. It seems the helper
module is ALWAYS needed, not just for passive ftp.
glad we have that figured out. I couldn't imagine how ftp
would work without it, but Wensong said it wasn't needed. I
wondered if he'd written the ftp helper function for active
ftp into ip_vs. I'll put it the next HOWTO (Jan 2007's is
out already).
Thanks for straightening us out.
Joe
