Hi Guys

OK, so there is no need to restart anything since new login of ftp after modifying /etc/proftpd.conf is immediate.

I am now trying to workout how to change the site-adm default dir from

~/../../.. site-adm which logs in to /.user/xxx/username

to /web which is the domain's website directory.


I am getting lots of people who are uploading to /.user/xxx/username/web and contacting me to say their website is not working. ( ~/web site-adm goes to /.user/xxx/username/web which is not what I am intending to do)

I have tried a lot of different combinations but just can't seem to figure it out.

Thanks for your help

Kit

Hi Guys

I have just changed my /etc/proftpd.conf settings so that siteadmins go straight into /web
"DefaultRoot    ~/web site-adm" (hope this is correct)

But When I try to "service proftpd restart" I get
Fatal: Socket operation on non-socket.

I have tried restarting xinetd but the configuration is still not changed.
The question is did service xinetd restart also restarted proftpd? Do I need to issue another command?
Service xinetd stop
Service proftpd restart
Gives me the same error.

There is a process in.proftpd which is why I assume it uses xinetd and also proftpd.conf uses xinetd.

Thanks in advance.
Oh I have also disabled and reenabled ftp in the gui but still the same!

Kind Regards

Kit Wong
