Hi, i have installed pure-ftpd from source on my Fedora. i also use virtual users stored in MySQL. everything seems to be working. mysql authentication, finding users homedir in mysql table and so on. only one problem i have, is that chroot doesnt work. of course in my config file is: ChrootEveryone yes. and in fact, if the users are stored in PureDB, chroot works fine, without problems. so i guess, the problem won't be in my pureftpd config file. but i don't understand , why chroot doesn't work, when the users are stored in MySQL? i use pure-ftpd.1.0.21. and start it like this: /etc/init.d/pure-ftpd start Starting : Pure-FTPd Server Running: /usr/local/pureftpd/sbin/pure- ftpd -A -b -c100 -B -C4 -D -E -fftp -H -I5 -lmysql:/usr/local/pureftpd/etc/mysql.conf -L10000:3 -m4 -s -U133:022 -u2000 -i -Oclf:/var/log/pureftpd/transfers.log -j -g/var/run/pure-ftpd/pure-ftpd.pid -k95 -Z thanks for your answers
Any errors in your logs? BTW, is there a special reason why you compiled PureFTPd? You could try this tutorial instead: http://www.howtoforge.com/virtual-hosting-with-pureftpd-mysql-fedora9
thanks, i tried tutorial too. and i tried to isntall pure-ftpd by yum too, of course i have no reason to install it from source. i try everything. but anything helped yet. errors on logs -> in /var/log messages nothing. and the pure-ftpd havent done any other logs. so i really don't know what to do...
