https://www.dropbox.com/s/uzvhuli4gxol6cb/FTP%20User%202.jpgAfter almost 2 months of attempting to set up a web server with the help of various web sites and forums, I found; 'The Perfect Server - Ubuntu 14.04 (Apache2, PHP, MySQL, PureFTPD, BIND, Dovecot, ISPConfig 3)'. Aside from a few items being out of sequence(minor), following the script was simple and error free. Setting up the PureFTPD users in ISPConfig 3 was a little problematic. I was unable to connect to my FTP site when I realized the name I was using was not what the PureFTPD was expecting. The client username was added as a prefix to the name I entered as FTP user. When I duplicated the error in the username I was able to connect and upload my files. Setting up the 'name servers' had a similar problem. after saving the new setup, a period was added to several names, and the '@' was replaced by a 'period' in the email address. I deleted each of the entries and tried several times. This is the second server and this problem also occurred in the first build.
I browsed the downloaded manual and apparently the FTP username is doing as it was designed. The only issue now is the '@' in the name server setup.
There is no @ in SOA entries. The @ in soa contact mail address is always replaced by . [email protected] is webmaster.mydomain.com. Hostnames need a dot added. E. g.: my.hostname.com in a DNS of domain test.com would lead to my.hostname.com.test.com instead of the intended. my.hostname.com. is correct.
