I have just tried to install Joomla 1.5RC1 using the FTP filesystem layer (step 5 of the installation) with the vsftpd. I entered the correct data (wich works with other local FTP clients) and click on the "Verify FTP settings" button. In the browser I get an error-message in response:
Code: Select all
The FTP settings are not valid or your FTP server is not compatible with Joomla. The function "NLST" failed.
Code: Select all
CONNECT: Client "127.0.0.1"
FTP response: Client "127.0.0.1", "220 Welcome to the FTP service."

[example_user] FTP command: Client "127.0.0.1", "PASV"
[example_user] FTP response: Client "127.0.0.1", "227 Entering Passive Mode (127,0,0,1,212,53)"
[example_user] FTP command: Client "127.0.0.1", "QUIT"
[example_user] FTP response: Client "127.0.0.1", "221 Goodbye."
According to this log, Joomla never tried the NLST command, so how it can tell that this command does not work is beyond me.
