Solving the Error: 500 OOPS: priv_sock_get_cmd issue
This error may occur when attempting to connect to a VsFTPD FTP server. You simply need to add one line to the configuration file, which this article assumes is in the default location of /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf.
Preflight Check
- These instructions are intended specifically for solving the error: 500 OOPS: priv_sock_get_cmd.
- I’ll be working from a Liquid Web Self Managed Fedora 20 server, and I’ll be logged in as root.
The Fix
Add this configuration edit to the /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf file using vim.
echo 'seccomp_sandbox=NO' >> /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf
Be sure to restart vsftpd:
systemctl restart vsftpd
This error is likely caused by this bug. Turning off the Google Seccomp Sandbox for Linux fixes this issue.
