Edit: I am facing "authentication failed" again. Debugging right now.. I have a guess though. Pw: a3s?i27$zU!{jPmx+ --> don't like Pw: meeauwhwuff --> like Are special chars in the pw not allowed?
Nope...special chars aren't the issue. Now it's running again. I have no clue what it is. Can't figure out a constanze.
/etc/ftpusers shouldn't be needed listing instances referencing the path Code (Text): grep -C3 -rn '\/etc\/ftpusers' /etc output Code (Text): grep -C3 -rn '\/etc\/ftpusers' /etc /etc/pure-ftpd/pure-ftpd.conf-241- /etc/pure-ftpd/pure-ftpd.conf-242- /etc/pure-ftpd/pure-ftpd.conf-243- /etc/pure-ftpd/pure-ftpd.conf:244:# Do not use the /etc/ftpusers file to disable accounts.

I was repeating the absolutely exact(!) same thing and sometimes i got the authentication error and sometimes not...that's why i thought it may be the special chars in the pw. But now it works. Now that it is working i won't touch it. Guess i'll just have centmin menu #2 take care of it in the future. I removed the pureftp via custom_config because i don't need a ftp user for each vhost i create and the procedure actually forces you to put in a username and pw when pureftp is enabled. Wouldn't it make maybe sense to make it an option? 'Add FTP user? y/n'
When you disable pure-ftpd via the option, it stops pure-ftpd service altogether so you won't be able to add virtual ftp users at all. Which is probably what you experienced. It's equivalent of stopping nginx service and expecting newly added nginx vhost sites to work. They won't
I accidentally set my pure-ftpd to y. Do I have to delete y and add the user back to the vhost again? Or can I just change y to a new name? I have searched here: Pure-FTPD Virtual FTP Users - CentminMod.com LEMP Nginx web stack for CentOS but it doesn't show you how to change a name. Thanks, Itworx4me
