This is a snippet taken from your tutorial.

Here we did a cd (change directory command).... and then all the way through we are suppose to stay in root@server1:/etc/courier# for the rest of the commands that follow? Do I go back to root@server1# to continue?

I'm just wondering, because I'm trying to understand the installation, and what the commands are actually doing. I noticed there isn't another cd until 18 Install Jailkit.

okay, thanx much.

 

Okay, here is the next question.

I type in the command under 15 Install PureFTPd And Quota :

and I get asked this:

The only thing I'm not ask for is Name of the system

This has been a hotspot for me, in trying to type the domain name and not being able to get to the webpage for the server. The only access I had was typing in the IP address. I'm doing this installation slowly, to make sure I just don't move past something that may be important.

 

Take a look at the tutorial again. It's:

 

my bad

okay, I fixed that part....my bad. I re-ran the commands:

openssl req -x509 -nodes -days 7300 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout /etc/ssl/private/pure-ftpd.pem -out /etc/ssl/private/pure-ftpd.pem

chmod 600 /etc/ssl/private/pure-ftpd.pem

/etc/init.d/pure-ftpd-mysql restart

A message came up:
/etc/pure-ftpd/conf/TLS : 'l' is not a number

I entered nano /etc/pure-ftpd/conf/TLS and there was a single value of the letter L. Should it be a '1' (one)? How did the value L come to be in this file? Is it something I would have entered somewhere else?

I can see how it would be frustrating for you guys: folks writing in about problems, and you guys trying to get around typos to get to the meat of the problem.

I still haven't installed IPConfig on this second install attempt. Just trying to get these last things taken care of first.

 

Yes, that's right.
