Hi,
I just got a server that is using wu-ftpd and anonftpd, but I would like to use proftpd instead. I have downloaded the rpm for RH7.3, but when I tried to install it, it said it was conflicting with wu-ftpd and anonftpd.
Could someone tell me how to remove these two so that I can install the proftpd rpm package?
If this helps, you can view my server info at:
http://66.28.95.136/phpinfo.php
Thanks,
Mark

First, you run the following two commands,
rpm -e anonftp
rpm -e wu-ftpd
then you can install using rpm -Uvh <proftp_rpm_file_name>

Did you check http://www.mysql.com/ yet?

For any RPM, just go to speakeasy.rpmfind.net. They have the largest collection of RPMs.
Don't forget, to get MySQL server, you need both mysql and mysql-server. (Plus a few libraries, I believe, check the dependency).

Thanks, I have proftpd installed, but I can't find any understandable docs to show me how to setup ftp users for individual sites as well as for each of my members that will have subdomains hosted on this server?
Could anyone happen to explain how this could be accomplished?
What I want to do is have an ftp user for myself for my site, and then ftp users for all the subdomains. My biggest concern is making sure that those members with subdomains can't see anything but their own documents, etc. It also seems like anonymous ftp is on which I'd like to turn off, but I haven't a clue how to.
Thanks,
Mark

It sounds like you either have to read the doc, or get a control panel. (or both).
You should learn that yourself as the question you are asking is simply too large (and too dangerous) to be covered by a few commands. You should learn how to administer the server by reading the doc.
Start from the proftpd site.
