Update SO Debian 13 Error

[PuntonetSvb]

SI received a notification that Debian 12 was reaching its end of support. I followed the instructions in keyhelp for the upgrade, but it didn't work, and my server became unusable. Initially, I got a Bind error, but everything else seemed to be working correctly. Only the domains stopped working. When I restored the backup immediately prior to the upgrade, the entire server stopped working, and I can only access it via SSH.

I had the same error yesterday. I was including
/etc/bind/named.conf.default-zones
which has been removed from Trixie.

And how did you solve it? I've been trying for two days straight and there's no way.

Why did you do a rollback when the nameserver is not running? You can check the logs and solve the problem.

So what is the latest state of your server? When you id a rollback and it is not wokring than something is wrong with your backup

Run named-checkconf, it tells you the problematic file.
Remove the entry, restart bind.

It can handle root zones out of the box.

I've managed to get the server working correctly again, except for proftpd. I run it and it says it's working correctly.
systemctl status proftpd

But when I try to connect to the server via FTP, I get an error:

It's as if ProFTP can't connect to the keyhelp database to look up users. If I connect directly with my Linux user, it connects fine.

It's as if ProFTP can't connect to the keyhelp database to look up users.

If connects to the database just fine, but either the name or the password for your ftpampa user is wrong.

By the way, you might want to enable Configuration -> FTP server -> Allow only SSL/TLS secured connections

[PuntonetSvb]

No, create the user again, and the result is the same. The user that connects me is the Linux user, none of the ftp users on the panel connect me

Can i have a look at the server? In this case, enable Configuration -> Support Access and send me the Server IP (and the servers SSH port) via PM.
