| 187067 | 2003-10-27 08:29:00 | Hi all, Got apache up & running sweet om my RedHat9.0 box Got msql running Got Samba working both ways & all is well. But.. I tried setting up the ftp and I can't logon, keeps telling me computer is disconnected or I don't have permission. Here is the setup groupadd www useradd -g www -d /var/www/html ftpuser (made 4 users) passwd ftpuser (made 4 passwords) chown ftpuser:www /var/www/html (when I do this I get a too few arguments error) chmod 7777 /var/www/html cp /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf /etc/vsftpd.conf /etc/rc.d/init.d/xinetd restart Restarts ok Try 'ftp localhost' Try 'ftp 192.168.0.7' And get the no access errors etc Can anyone see where I've gone wrong? Thanks |

| 187068 | 2003-10-27 09:26:00 | Hi there. Ive set myself up a server running vsftpd in the past, and will be doing so again in a few days. Look up some posts by Chilling_Silence (Me also) on the topic. You may want to post the contents of all files (removing the non-relevant comment bits) labelled vsftpd in the /etc and /etc/vsftpd folders. If you're running RH 9 though, its cos its setup by default to run as a standalone app and not under inetd or xinetd. :-) Try running: redhat-config-services as root, and that should let your start, stop, and restart it. Either that, or use chkconfig to do the same from Command line! Cheers Chill. |

| 187069 | 2003-10-28 00:48:00 | The thing used to be (and I suspect that it wouldn't be changed) that the /etc/ftpuser file contained the names of those who do not have access. :D (It might have been created with everyone excluded by default.) root was always the first name in it, for obvious reasons. I don't like 777 rights ... the world should never have RWE, so 775 would be better. (But: I suppose this is so you can ftp into it ... Apache should own it; does Apache still work> :D) You might need to add your group members' names into the /etc/groups file. (check it, anyway) |
