as you see here: http://ehcp.net/?q=node/1257

vsftpd has a bug since ubuntu 12.04, so, do not try to install ehcp(which uses vsftpd) onto ubuntu 12.04 and later.
We and someone are trying to fix this, but not yet solved.

if anybody solves this, let us know.

I think the best thing is to keep 0.32 for 10.04LTS and older, and make a new ehcp version for 12.04+ with pureftp or alike, because we need to have more newer development or the ehcp will be dead.

Agree with you. development of ehcp will continue with some little pause's. If anybody knows an ftp server, with mysql integration, let me know.
the good side of vsftpd, it has mysql integration directly, that is, it can authenticate users based on mysql tables

There are a lot of bugs still in 0.32 as indicated in the testing thread. I guess the main focus of development is how to fix the VSFTPD problem.

What problems are you running into exactly?

I found these forum posts, but nothing else? VSFTPD should work in ubuntu 12.04+

If you could describe to me what is going on, I could give it a whirl. I'm going to setup a test rig that runs ubuntu 12.04 this weekend.

Can you remove your avatar picture? It shows up on the page and makes it look all messed up.

Thank you alot for suggestion.
This seems as a solution, as given in links by own3mall,

<code>wget http://http.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/v/vsftpd/vsftpd_3.0.2-2_amd64.deb
dpkg -i vsftpd_3.0.2-2_amd64.deb
echo "allow_writeable_chroot=YES" >> /etc/vsftpd.conf
service vsftpd reload

I did not test it yet, but I will test&integrate into ehcp in a while.

I'm running Ubuntu 12.04.1 and here's the tested fix that works 100%:
<code>
sudo sed -i 's/chroot_local_user=YES/chroot_local_user=NO/g' /etc/vsftpd.conf
sudo service vsftpd restart
</code>
