Publishing a website to my Domain

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’

Ahh good, you created a question.  SO No route to host (113) means the configuration of your NotePad Site Builder does not have the correct information for FTP location.  If it is on the same box then it should be localhost.  Make sure FTP is running by checking for your site listening on port 21 or 22 if you are connecting via SCP (ssh).
Have you verified that you have an FTP server running?  If you are going to allow multiple domains this ability then ftp setup will need to be done pointing each unique user to their own webserver folder for the content.  Let me know and I will try to assist further!

-J
To check while in the shell. Or use Cpanel to verify installed, configured services.

In the shell, ps -ef |grep -i ftp
Netstat -an | grep ':21'
The fact that it says no route to host is making me feel like the FTP server is not running or it is not set to localhost...
No disagreement here, one has to make sure it is running, in addition to following your suggestion for targeting the FTP server.

The fact that it says no route to host is making me feel like the FTP server is not running or it is not set to localhost, I dont believe it is setup correctly. I can ssh to port 22 but i cannot ftp to port 21. the port is open thur the firewall and router, but i am not getting activity otherwise. So please tell me what to do to getting FTP installed and  working on port 21. I am rather confused being i can ssh and sftp by default. Please explain.

please help

I am running Centos Linux 7, Does FTP come by default, or need loading? The ssh and sftp was default installation. What commands do i need to check if it is installed already and then if it is listen after install?
