hi, I have a situation which looks very odd to me. It's possible I've done something simple (wrong) or the configuration is awry. Either way, I've ended up with /var/vhome/ under the clients/ directory structure. Also there's a stray /home/ directory under web4/. What I am expecting is /var/vhome/ /var/www/ However, what I have is: /var/vhome/ # <- 1. this directory is empty! /var/www/clients/client7/web4/var/vhome # <- 2. expecting this to be the top level /var/vhome/ dir? /var/www/clients/client7/web4/var/vhome/ecshelluser /var/www/clients/client7/web4/var/vhome/ecshelluser/.ssh /var/www/clients/client7/web4/var/vhome/web4 /var/www/clients/client7/web4/home # <- 3. and now /home/ as well as /vhome/?! Is this expected? Is there an easy way, (if this is in fact a problem), to fix this? I think I can probably simply do `mv /var/www/clients/client7/web4/var/vhome/* /var/vhome/`. However, I'm concerned there may be hidden behaviour (via configs/symlinks and the like) that I might disturb, and are there associated database entriese I need to fix at the same time? I'm also not quite clear how this came about... Many thanks in advance for any helpful assistance.
I am not sure about /var/vhome but /home /var /web etc for clients are always be under their websites root folder.
Check the settings under System > server config to ensure that you did not use /var/vhome anywhere there. Seems as if /home directory on your server became /var/vhome for whatever reason.
hi Ahrasis and Till, thanks for your feedback. I found System->Server_Config->Jailkit->chroot_home: /var/vhome/[username]Now this looks odd, as I would expect that to be: /var/www/clients/client[client_id]/web[website_id]or even one level up: /var/www/clients/client[client_id]/Maybe this explains it. Not sure how that happened..., but maybe your new config-data-difference-tool will help to prevent this kind of thing in future!
The datalog viewer can (and shall) not prevent that an admin changes server settings on his server it can just show you when and what was changed by which user.
Yes, Till, that's actually what I meant, but my Dinglish got in the way Thanks for the clarification though.
Update: I think I nearly have this back to working now, with the Jailkit chroot path set to /home/[username] I'm probably (!) showing my ignorance of Jailkit here. However, when I ssh into this chrooted directory, the user is in an empty directory (except for the .ssh/ directory. I'd appreciate if someone could confirm whether this is correct? To go anywhere useful it seems necessary to execute first cd ../../../, as only then it's possible to see the contents of the client space eg: Code: Debian GNU/Linux comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

That's correct as it's the home directory of your shell user. Home directories are always empty. If you want to go to the websitre directory, just do: cd /web
