Hello, I installed ispconfig3 and my ftp users have this kind of problem: FTP Error: 550 Cant change directory to /: Permission denied what should be the trick? Thanks
Ok. I read both PureFTP documentation and ISPConfig one. I installed everything starting from Perfect Apache2, Centos 6, Ispconfig3, etc etc, version 2013 I ftp'd with the username and password created on IspConfig3 and it works, but 229 Extended Passive mode OK (|||3546|) 150 Accepted data connection 226-Sorry, we were unable to read [.] I searched the mysql/phpmyadmin database for user name and password, and still no problem there. I studied pureftp and how it works with mysql, and no trouble there either. The folders are there, users are the right ones, the group could be "clientx" and the user "webx". So what? What should I do to have a ftp connection now seems only to uninstall ispconfig and go back to standard server administration, which actually worked quite fine till now.
UPDATE I edited /etc/my.cnf adding the line: log=/var/log/mylog.log and then touch /var/log/mylog.log and then chown mysql:mysql /var/log/mylog.log and started viewing the log: nothing was irregular. Then I decided to make a test. I made a /var/www/testftp folder with permissions web7:client0 and tried to access it through ftp. It worked quite fine so that now I know: 1. The PureFtpd works pretty fine 2. The mysql ispconfig database as well 3. The username and password of the virtual user created by ispconfig into pureftpd work 4. The correlation between username and password and the user web7 and the group client0 does work. The problem so far then sticks to the /var/www/client/client[any n, in this case 0]/web7.
If I edit the pureftpd configuration file and set not to cage the users [chroot option] I have access to the directory. Finding a way to fix that one also.
