Dear all. On creating a new jailkited user for a specific website, new folders appear in the website directory for that site, is this normal? Below are some screenshots of it happening;
Yes, thats normal. Ever jail as to contain all files and folders that are needed by the applications that should run inside the chroot enviroment.
thank you till, also I checked my cron log and im getting this; mkdir: cannot create directory `/var/www/clients/client0/web5/var': File exists mkdir: cannot create directory `/var/www/clients/client0/web5/var/run': File exists ln: creating hard link `/var/www/clients/client0/web5/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' => `/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock': Invalid cross-device link usermod: user default_test2 is currently logged in failed to execute usermod -d /var/www/clients/client0/web5/. -s /usr/sbin/jk_chrootsh default_test2 failed to modify user default_test2 usermod: user default_test2 is currently logged in usermod: user web5 is currently logged in Does this also seem normal to you?
1) You were logged in with that user while you edited user settings which caused usermod to fail. 2) your mysql database tables are on another harddrive partition then the /var/www directories which will cause mysql tools to fail inside the jail.
It cannot be any of those possibilities, I just tested creating another shell user with no users logged into any service for over 10 minutes. failed to execute usermod -d /var/www/clients/client0/web1/. -s /usr/sbin/jk_chrootsh default_test3 failed to modify user default_test3 usermod: user default_test3 is currently logged in usermod: user web1 is currently logged in Jailkit is installed as instructed in the perfect server guide for Ubuntu 10.04. Using ISPConfig 3.0.3 beta.
You see the error message yourself, according to usermod there must be a shell user of this website be logged in. Maybe a user has not been logged out correctly or so. Reboot the server and try again.
Thank you till, that seemed to do the trick. I don't know how a user must have stayed logged in though, I use 'exit' after finishing a shell session always. Jailkit doesn't allow 'logout' like I would use on my root shell.
