I am trying to install the free web hosting script called xpanel. I am having some problems with getting pureftpd to work. Is someone exerienced with this and would be kind enough to answer a couple questions for me?

Thank you very much

Hi,
you should install PureFTPD from source with this configuration

./configure --prefix=/usr/local --with-mysql --with-cookie --with-throttling --with-ratios --with-quotas --with-uploadscript --with-peruserlimits --with-altlog --with-standalone

make

make install

to start it use this:

/usr/local/sbin/pure-ftpd -l unix -l mysql:/path_to_your_conf_here/pureftpd-mysql.conf -C 2 -c 100 -I 5 -k 90% -m 70 -o -G -B -A -n 100000:250 -w -j -b -x
/usr/local/sbin/pure-uploadscript -B -r /path_to_your_sh_here/uploadscript.sh



For a Ensim/cPanel servers use ProFTPD instead of PureFTPD

Thank you so much for responding. I am using cpanel so I will use proftp. I do not understand the ssh commands to do this:

Would you be so kind as to remove source code configuration from your last post, please?

I will PM you with details of configuration.

very sorry, thank you

I tried installing proftpd via the cpanel web host manager and it does not work. I tried installing it via ssh but I do not know what I'm doing without exact commands, Thank you

i followed the instructions. i cannot ftp into an xpanel created site.

ms75 can you help me?

thanks for the link but it didnt help. i am going to just give the script away to a few hosts so they can help me get it going. take care and have a nice day.
