Full Version: Problem with Webmin an Apache
The Planet Forums > Control Panels > Other

I started using some dedicated server and I have Webmin as control panel. There is also Apache that I turned on and it worked.

But since I didn't find anything to access server via ftp, I searched on net and understood that I need to install some module for it on Webmin.

In list of inactive modules I found Proftpd and install it. And then I made problem: somewhere in Webmin where is administration of users I edited user "ftp" since when logging I went to directory /var/ftp and I wanted to go to /var/www/html.

But when I changed accessing directory from /var/ftp to /var/www/html it didn't work so I again moved to /var/ftp. After that I again couldn't access but noticed in file manager under Webmin that content of /var/www was moved to /var/ftp and previous content of /var/ftp disappeared. I created new directory www in /var and copied in file manager content from /var/ftp but again when access from public address I receive error 403 forbidden. I rebooted system but again same.

So could someone help me with this? I'll provide you with more informations if it is needed.
Thanks in advance

Sounds like your problem is user permissions, you cannot just access dir with FTP.

The quick and easy answer is look at SCP, it lets you access the server in an ftp like interface with root permissions.

The correct answer is change the ownership and permissions on the directories to match apache and the user logging into ftp.
