Hi, Is there any way to FTP into the server as the superadmin, and be able to see everything and modify everything? I'm trying to do this so that i can more easily modify the css/theme of ispconfig. Edward
This can not be possible as every website runs under its won linux user and group. So every file that you would upload or modify as root user would be owned by the wrong user.
Thanks for your reply bud. So how do I modify ISPConfig's looks? Seems like if they're all locked in, I can't really do much w/ it unless if i edit them straight from SSH? Edward
What I mean is that...if you want to change the header of ISPConfig, you will need access to /usr/local/ispconfig/, however, through ftp, you are locked into your home folder. How do you modify the theme, and change your header img and what not if access if not permitted.
Okay, so I've logged into WinSCP, but the ISPConfig folder under /usr/local perhaps is assigned to another user. Is it save to chown that folder to my root user?
No, this will break the whole setup. Just upload the changed image file as root user and afterwards chown the file on the shell to the ispconfig user and group.
Quick question. i've logged in as WinSCP, and I am trying to modify files in etc/apache2, but obviously the owner of that folder is not me also. Usually, do you change the folder ownership to yourself and then change it back to ispconfig afterwards?
