What you need to know to help me with this issue, I am running a Centos Linux Server with Plesk 12.5 Control Panel. I recently installed the Notepad Site Builder Module in my Panel to allow my users to create their own sites for their own domain. After i installed the module every thing seem to work fine, up to the point when i try to publish the site to a domain on my system. The following occurs:

Sitepad module running in Plesk 12.5 :Error Message after publishing attempt

ERROR:  Some FTP errors occured : fsockopen fails No route to host (113)

Try a different website builder and received the following error  below
Website Builders module in Plesk 12.5 :Error Message after publishing attempt

FTP passive mode error
ERROR: FTP passive mode should be enabled on your server for website publication to work.


I am running firewalld as the system firewall and a Router using port forwarding for my open ports. I am not clearly sure what i need to do to resolve this issue for my users. Please help.

Thanks Andre’

What is the domain you are publishing to? Have you purchased the domain and set it up with nameservers so that there are DNS records that point the domain back to your server's IP address?

Also, Google for "plesk enable passive ftp" - there are several guides out there on how to properly configure that feature within Plesk.

Connect to your server via shell (SSH) and try to ping the domain name from there, and tell us what IP comes back or if you get errors.

I was able to ping the domain, of course log in. No errors.
