First I followed the install instructions here:http://www.ispconfig.org/docs/INSTALL_UBUNTU_8.04.txt I skipped myDNS since I don't need that. My problem is I can't seem to get pure ftp to run. ISPConfig says FTP-server is offline and this: Code: Reading package lists... Building dependency tree... Reading state information... 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. 1 not fully installed or removed.

Thx in advance.
if you by vserver mean VPS then yes. Cant use the quota stuff on it, but I dont think lack of quota interferes with the FTP. Could also add that ISPConfig says MySQL is not running but its running fine. When I followed an instruction for ISPConfig 2 and used ProFTPd the FTP worked but couldn't login into it.
Then you most likely use a vps based on openvz or virtuozzo, some providers do not have capabilities enabled which causes pure-ftpd not to start. There are 2 options: 1) enable the capabilities (this has to be run on the host system and not within the vps): Code: VPSID=101 for CAP in CHOWN DAC_READ_SEARCH SETGID SETUID NET_BIND_SERVICE NET_ADMIN SYS_CHROOT SYS_NICE CHOWN DAC_READ_SEARCH SETGID SETUID NET_BIND_SERVICE NET_ADMIN SYS_CHROOT SYS_NICE do vzctl set $VPSID --capability ${CAP}:on --save done 2) Recompile purefpt without capability support: http://www.howtoforge.de/howto/pureftpd-ohne-capabilities-unter-debian-lenny-selbst-bauen/ These instructions are only available in german, but you might be able to follow them.
Yeah they have OpenVZ Thanks for solution, I can read german so no problem there. Have to say I learn a lot trying to config nix setup. Is it required to use Pure or could I use another FTP server instead?
Ok thx. Cant get apt-get source to work however. Only got two sources listed in my sources.list file. deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy main restricted universe deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy-updates main restricted universe Which repository do I have to add to get apt-get source pure-ftpd to work? [EDIT] Nevermind found it =).
Well seems I can't use that method. After fixing all the dependency crap I get Code: Can't exec "debian/rules": Permission denied at /usr/bin/dpkg-buildpackage line 477. dpkg-buildpackage: failure: debian/rules clean failed with unknown exit code -1 when running dpkg-buildpackage -uc -b I have done chmod +x debian/rules but denial persists.
It was a noexec so thats why the permission denied happened. The german instructions worked. Thx for the help Till.
