Topic: Error when applying FTP settings

[cbakken]

Hi,
I just installed SMEserver 6.0.1. I want to set up an FTP-server for access from the internet. When I go into Security/Remote Access and set Allow public access (Entire internet) and  Accept passwords from anywhere and click Save, I get this error:
Operation status report
Error occurred while updating system configuration.

Have anyone else seen this?

Nope, all works fine here. Any more info/feedback?

I've recently installed SMEserver 6.0.1 on four different boxes, and get the same error on all of them. The strange thing is that everything works as it should afterwards, I can ftp to the boxes from the internet.

But the error message when applying these settings still remains......

I applly the settings on a clean install, so previous suggestions about patches and so on doesn't apply.

Please report your problem in the Bug tracker. When you do, look back through all the /var/log/httpd/admin_error_log* log files - the details of the error will likely be recorded there.

After adding an IP to the remote management network and clicking on save...I get the failure box in server-manager and the following lines in my admin error log

Is this something that still needs to be reported? I thought I saw threads a while back to disregard the formMagic errors.

Anything which doesn't work correctly should be reported.
