question and answer vsftpd

[ehcpdeveloper]

ehcp uses and integrated with vsftpd,
so, if you remove vsftpd, you cannot use some functions of ehcp, mostly domain files etc.
So, you should not remove vsftpd if you want to use ehcp.

To solve now:
if you have no or few domains , then just reinstall ehcp

if you have many domains,
* then, backup all, then reinstall ehcp, restore all domains
* or: manually install vsftpd and fix as programmed in install_lib.php

see you,

My Vsftpd is will working mostly, but for some reason i cant login as root via SSH anymore, my ftp clint says software is corrupted file,

if i reinstall Vsftpd, will that mess up any EHCP settings for user FTP accounts? or is their somthing else i can do to fix this problem?

while insalling, if it asks for replacing config files, then do not replace vsftpd config files.
if you do like this, it will not breadk ftp accounts in ehcp.

even if it is breaked, it is not hard to fix it.

/etc/pam.d/vsftpd
fill this file with:

<code>auth required pam_mysql.so user=ehcp passwd=yourpass host=localhost db=ehcp table=ftpaccounts usercolumn=ftpusername passwdcolumn=password crypt=2
account required pam_mysql.so user=ehcp passwd=yourpass host=localhost db=ehcp table=ftpaccounts usercolumn=ftpusername passwdcolumn=password crypt=2

then,
/etc/vsftpd.conf
fill this file with: (replace yourpass)

<code>listen=YES
anonymous_enable=NO
local_enable=YES
write_enable=YES
local_umask=022
dirmessage_enable=YES
xferlog_enable=YES
connect_from_port_20=YES
nopriv_user=vsftpd
chroot_local_user=YES
secure_chroot_dir=/var/run/vsftpd
pam_service_name=vsftpd
rsa_cert_file=/etc/ssl/certs/vsftpd.pem
guest_enable=YES
guest_username=vsftpd
local_root=/var/www/vhosts/\$USER
user_sub_token=\$USER
virtual_use_local_privs=YES
user_config_dir=/etc/vsftpd_user_conf
local_max_rate=2000000 # bytes per sec, 2Mbytes per sec
max_clients=50 # to avoid DOS attack, if you have a huge server, increase this..


then,
on server console:
/etc/init.d/vsftpd restart

thats it.

for developers:
these are done in install_lib.php,
function vsftpd_configuration($params){

this is related to ftp, vsftp,
not ssh.

if you cannot login using ssh, then, there is some other problem.
describe your ssh problem in more detail.
