Hi Guys, Firstly I'm a linux n00b so please be gentle I have recently started setting up our server running on debian 3.1 sarge, and got mysql, php and apache2 running off the bat (had some experience from a WAMP dev environment) then followed your How To on Proftp and mysql and couldn't get it to authenticate sso an apt-get --purge later i installed pureFTPd-mysql based on your tutorial, its running great, it creates my users homedirs etc like it should... go me ^^ i have created a public_html symbolic link in my one users directory pointing to their /var/www/<username> directory and a std directory called test Now i can navigate test no problem using my ftpclient but when i have tried to nav public_html i get the following Command: CWD public_html Response: 550 Can't change directory to public_html: No such file or directory Error: Could not retrieve directory listing If i do a ls -l on the /home/<username> dir i get the following debian31m:/home/<username># ls -l total 4 lrwxrwxrwx 1 <username> ftpgroup 18 2006-09-15 14:20 public_html -> /var/www/<username>/ drwxr-sr-x 2 root staff 4096 2006-09-16 19:42 test I have also noticed that when I try and upload a file i get the following Status: Directory listing successful Status: Starting upload of C:\Documents and Settings\brett minnie\Desktop\gw510.jpg Command: CWD /test/ Response: 250 OK. Current directory is /test Command: PWD Response: 257 "/test" is your current location Command: TYPE I Response: 200 TYPE is now 8-bit binary Command: PASV Response: 227 Entering Passive Mode (88,198,5,149,230,225) Command: STOR gw510.jpg Response: 553-Can't open that file: Permission denied Response: 553 Rename/move failure: No such file or directory Error: Upload failed Status: Retrieving directory listing... Command: CWD /test/ I'm pretty sure its a permissions issue, but need a prod in the right direction to help me out here. As stated my config is just as given in the how-to and yeah I'm a bit stumped at the moment My Version of pureFTd is 1.0.19.4 this may help as well ^^ Thanks guys
I'm not sure if Pure-FTPd supports symbolic links... Run Code: chown <username>:ftpgroup /home/<username>/test
Many thanks that got my upload issues sorted, I am led to believe that the lastest version of pureftpd supports symbolic links, maybe i should try compile that, or do you have an alternate software package that you would suggest
