Re: pure-ftpd fatal error in forked process - fork: can't reserve memory for parent Cygwin x86 Operating Systems

Hi,

Has anyone else run into this issue when trying to get pure-ftpd to work?

./pure-ftpd.exe
      9 [main] pure-ftpd 3032 C:\OGP\usr\sbin\pure-ftpd.exe: *** fatal

I get the reserve memory error when a FTP connection to pure-ftpd is
opened.  pure-ftpd immediately crashes with the above error and the
FTP connection is never established.  I have installed pure-ftpd the
same way on a Windows Server 2008 SP2 x86 instance and a Windows 7 x86
instance.  I run into the same error on each, and each machine has
plenty of RAM available.  Other packages aren't doing this.  It
happens with the built-in anonymous user along with any new users that
eventually are added in /etc/pureftpd.passwd

Setup.exe version 2.876 (32 bit)
pure-ftpd version installed is 1.0.43-1

How are you running pure-ftpd ?
Do you have problem with normal users ?

It may be a problem of authorization to change user owner for the process.


Anyone have any clue what the issue is?  There is no log entry in
/var/log and I see pure-ftpd.exe running as a process... it just
crashes every time a connection is opened.

Thanks
OwN


Please attach the cygcheck.out.

PS:  I can not follow up the matter in detail until next week.
