As detailed in this thread, I have a similar problem installing PureFTPD over Ubuntu in an OpenVZ virtual environment: http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=9339 I'm wondering if there is a way to install ISPConfig 3 to use ProFTPD?
No. proftpd is not supported and will not work with ispconfig 3. But pureftpd works fine under openvz, I use it on several servers. Just follow the notes for openvz and execute the following command in the openvz host: Code: VPSID=101 for CAP in CHOWN DAC_READ_SEARCH SETGID SETUID NET_BIND_SERVICE NET_ADMIN SYS_CHROOT SYS_NICE CHOWN DAC_READ_SEARCH SETGID SETUID NET_BIND_SERVICE NET_ADMIN SYS_CHROOT SYS_NICE do vzctl set $VPSID --capability ${CAP}:on --save done Dont forget to set the correct vpsid.
for those that do not have root access to host system, but only to the VPS: http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=30115
