FTP access problem...

    I have one domain setup under my admin account. I have another domain under another account. I have ftp setup the same (to the best of my knowledge) on both accounts. Under the second domain I can access the ftp files fine, but under the first, I can access the ftp site, but it is in the wrong directory. The directory should point to: /home/www/web1/web/, correct. It actually points to: /home/"username"/.

    I have looked in the ISPConfig files, including Vhosts and everything seems to point to /home/www/web1/web/. Why is the ftp site not being directed properly? Would it have anything to do with my LAN setup?

    Oh, also when I login to the ISP CP, under the admin account, it does direct me to the appropriate folder.

    The second issue may correlate to the first, so I am posting them together. I can access the ftp sites for either domain setup in ISP config from anywhere outside of my server. But when I open my browser on the server and type in the ftp url for either one, I get a "530 Login incorrect!" alert popup. It doesn't even allow me to enter a login. Does this mean that anon users are enabled? If so where else can I disable anon access? I though I did this already...

    Make sure you're using the right ftp user for your first web site. To me it seems as if you had set up a usef manually on the shell with the homedir /home/user, and you're using this user for ftp.
    You have to use a user that you set up with ISPConfig.

    If anonymous ftp was enabled, then you wouldn't get the "Login incorrect" message.
    Did you try this syntax in your browser?
    ftp://<username>:<password>@<ftpserver>

    I used your Perfect Setup for Fedora, but I did setup a user with the same username as the user setup in ISPConfig, after installing fedora but before installing ISPConfig. How can I fix this?

    Strange, that actually took me to the right directory? But this is from outside my server...I will try the server later.

    What do you mean with that? :confused: Do you mean you created a user manually on the shell, and later created the same user in ISPConfig?

    Yes, correct...

    I'd simply comment out your manually created user in /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow. :)

    Your not alone

    I had the same thing happen. I manually setup a user, which was created as "UID 10012". Then ISPConfig created a user with the same UID... so I had duplicates in my /etc/passwd.

    I simply just manually editted /etc/passwd with 'vi' to change my *manually* added user's UID/GUID's to 512. I then had to go to this user's home directory and chown the files to change the ownership UID:GUID to the new number.

    # chown -R username:groupname /home/username_dir

    The '-R' changes all files/folders recursively... so be aware that there are certain files that may be owned by root in the user's dir... like:

    -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 544 Oct 11 08:33 .antivirus.rc
    -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 742 Oct 11 08:33 .autoresponder.rc
    -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 22 Oct 11 08:33 .bounce-exceed-quota.txt
    -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 67K Oct 11 08:33 .html-trap.rc
    -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3.8K Oct 11 08:33 .local-rules.rc
    -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 180 Oct 11 08:33 .mailsize.rc
    -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 321 Oct 11 09:07 .procmailrc
    -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2.6K Oct 11 08:35 .quota.rc
    -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1.2K Oct 11 08:35 .spamassassin.rc
    -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1.6K Oct 11 08:33 .user_prefs
    -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Oct 11 08:33 .vacation.cache
    -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Oct 11 08:33 .vacation.msg

    thanx.

    To prevent duplicate user ID's, you can set the minimum userid ISPConfig strts with. The setting is in ISPConfig under Management > Server > Settings.
