Hi all, Firstly i would like to say that this great tutorial works fine on 8.04 LTS The only thing i would like to do (and isn't covered in the tutorial) is to change the user that runs PureFTPd. Why? Apache needs to be able to delete stuff that is uploaded through FTP (and the other way around). I have tried adding users in phpMyAdmin with the uid and gid of Apache. Code: root@Estate:~# cat /etc/passwd | grep www www-data:x:33:33:www-data:/var/www:/bin/sh Which is according to this 33 and 33. So i figured this would do the trick: Code: INSERT INTO `pureftpd`.`ftpd` (`User`, `status`, `Password`, `Uid`, `Gid`, `Dir`, `ULBandwidth`, `DLBandwidth`, `comment`, `ipaccess`, `QuotaSize`, `QuotaFiles`) VALUES ('testtest', '1', MD5('testpass'), '33', '33', '/var/www', '0', '0', 'test user', '*', '0', '0') But then i get: Code: root@Estate:~# ftp localhost Connected to localhost. 220---------- Welcome to Pure-FTPd [privsep] [TLS] ---------- 220-You are user number 1 of 50 allowed. 220-Local time is now 20:30. Server port: 21. 220-This is a private system - No anonymous login 220-IPv6 connections are also welcome on this server. 220 You will be disconnected after 15 minutes of inactivity. Name (localhost:root): testtest 331 User testtest OK. Password required Password: 530 Sorry, but I can't trust you Login failed. Remote system type is UNIX. Using binary mode to transfer files. ftp> ls 530 You aren't logged in ftp: bind: Address already in use ftp> I was wondering if anyone has a clue on howto fix this? Many thanks in advance! And btw, a little suggestion (don't think its worth opening a second thread) Maybe in the next tutorial on this please tell people how they can set the passive port range, i ended up using Code: echo '50000 50500' > /etc/pure-ftpd/conf/PassivePortRange To set the passive port range, wich worked fine
If you know this isn't possible your reply is welcome aswell, then i can think of something else to fix this with.
I think the problem is that the UID of the FTP user must be > 1000 whereas Apache's UID is 33... You could modify the UID in /etc/passwd, but then you'd have to chown all files owned by Apache so that they're owned by Apache again...
