[SOLVED] Proftpd addon will not start after upgrade from OE 6.0.3 to LE 7.0.2

1st Official Post

    After upgrading my HTPC from OE 6.0.3 to LE 7.0.2, the Proftpd addon (version 6.0.1) will not start.

    When attempting to start the service from the CLI, I receive the following error:

    Code
    LibreELEC:~/.kodi/temp # proftpd.start
proftpd: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.32: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
LibreELEC:~/.kodi/temp #

    I was not able to find this file anywhere on the system so I guess that it was included in OE but not in LE.

    Code
    LibreELEC:/ # find -name libssl.so.32
find: ./proc/6194: No such file or directory
LibreELEC:/ #

    UPDATE:


    Figured it out, thanks to matsalka and this thread about rutorrent.

    I just had to create symbolic links to the libraries and restart the service.

    Code
    ln -s /usr/lib/libssl.so  /storage/.kodi/addons/service.system.proftpd/bin/libssl.so.32
ln -s /usr/lib/libcrypto.so /storage/.kodi/addons/service.system.proftpd/bin/libcrypto.so.32

    I try the same with a fresh install of LE 7.0.2 and Proftpd addon (version 6.0.1).

    Enter putty in order to enter the 2 lines.
    I check the simlink is ok, reboot.

    Impossible enter the ftp.
    in putty, i write proftpd.start and the answer was

    LibreELEC:~/.kodi/addons/service.system.proftpd/bin # proftpd.start
    ./mkpasswd: line 1: syntax error: unexpected word (expecting ")")
    /storage/.kodi/addons/service.system.proftpd/bin/proftpd: line 1: syntax error: unterminated quoted string


    Any idea?

    Tested on LibreELEC (Krypton) 8.0 preview builds v7.90.005.

    Work great!

    Thanks m.hueske to solve that very quickly. Do you think proftp could be integrated to libreelec?

    Thank you again.

    Thanks for your feedback
    If there is a package maintainer I think there is a chance to get this into the LibreELEC addons.
    This addon is initially supplied by vpeter. Maybe he has time (and is willing) to maintain this?

    i tried the fix with the symbolic link commands, but i get this error message:

    LibreELEC:~ # proftpd.start
    chmod: /storage/.kodi/addons/service.system.proftpd/bin/libcrypto.so.32: Read-only file system
    chmod: /storage/.kodi/addons/service.system.proftpd/bin/libssl.so.32: Read-only file system
    proftpd: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.32: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
    LibreELEC:~ #


    Any Ideas?
    LibreElec 7.02 & Proftpd addon (version 6.0.1)

    Thanks in advance

    Hi m.hueske,

    proftpd 8.0.0 works fine from libreelec beta 005 to 008.
    Yesterday, I update to 008 version. Proftpd doesn't work anymore.

    I trie reinstallation of the zip file without first desinstalling, without succes.

    Any idea?
    Thanks,

    Thanks, ho tow update to the 009+ repo?

    I find it in the libreelec repo in service directory.

    I check if it works.

    Thanks
