create FTP user - Error: 'You must give nonroot uid and gid'

how did you create the nginx vhost site ? via centmin.sh menu option 2 or via /usr/bin/nv command ?

you don't need to do that if you used centmin.sh menu option 2 or nv command to create nginx vhost site

which centmin mod version ? 123.08stable or 123.09beta01 ?

I just tested centmin.sh menu option 2 to create testdomain.com and that works

You are about to create an Nginx vhost site account with/without
HTTPS/SSL support. Details of this process are outlined on site
at centminmod.com/nginx_domain_dns_setup.html. Also read the
continually updated Getting Started Guide for Centmin Mod usage
at centminmod.com/getstarted.html which covers the pure-ftpd
ftp username that is auto generated with the Nginx vhost site.

Do you want to continue with Nginx vhost site creation ? [y/n] y

Enter vhost domain name to add (without www. prefix): testdomain.com

Create a self-signed SSL certificate Nginx vhost? [y/n]: n

Create FTP username for vhost domain (enter username): ftp1
Auto generate FTP password (recommended) [y/n]: y

FTP username you entered: ftp1
FTP password auto generated: ofxYlqU8byiSjwf5KMpRp

Code (Text):

-------------------------------------------------------------
FTP hostname : MYSERVERIP
FTP port : 21
FTP mode : FTP (explicit SSL)
FTP Passive (PASV) : ensure is checked/enabled
FTP username created for testdomain.com : ftp1
FTP password created for testdomain.com : ofxYlqU8byiSjwf5KMpRp
-------------------------------------------------------------
vhost for testdomain.com created successfully

domain: http://testdomain.com
vhost conf file for testdomain.com created: /usr/local/nginx/conf/conf.d/testdomain.com.conf

upload files to /home/nginx/domains/testdomain.com/public
vhost log files directory is /home/nginx/domains/testdomain.com/log

Code (Text):

-------------------------------------------------------------
Current vhost listing at: /usr/local/nginx/conf/conf.d/
                       
Mar 15  06:23   846    ssl.conf
Mar 15  06:23   1.1K   demodomain.com.conf
Mar 15  06:34   1.6K   virtual.conf
Mar 15  18:46   2.2K   testdomain.com.conf

-------------------------------------------------------------
Commands to remove testdomain.com

pure-pw userdel ftp1
 rm -rf /usr/local/nginx/conf/conf.d/testdomain.com.conf
 rm -rf /usr/local/nginx/conf/conf.d/testdomain.com.ssl.conf
 rm -rf /usr/local/nginx/conf/ssl/testdomain.com/testdomain.com.crt
 rm -rf /usr/local/nginx/conf/ssl/testdomain.com/testdomain.com.key
 rm -rf /usr/local/nginx/conf/ssl/testdomain.com/testdomain.com.csr
 rm -rf /usr/local/nginx/conf/ssl/testdomain.com
 rm -rf /home/nginx/domains/testdomain.com
 service nginx restart
-------------------------------------------------------------
vhost for testdomain.com setup successfully
testdomain.com setup info log saved at: 
/root/centminlogs/centminmod_1.2.3-eva2000.09.004_150317-184609_nginx_addvhost.log
-------------------------------------------------------------

it auto creates a log of the entire process at /root/centminlogs/centminmod_1.2.3-eva2000.09.004_150317-184609_nginx_addvhost.log as well

then login via FTP ensuring to read Pure-FTPD Virtual FTP Users - CentminMod.com LEMP Nginx web stack for CentOS and you need to set your FTP client to use FTP explicit SSL mode and enable and check Passive connections (PASV) and connect via your server's ip address for hostname and use FTP port 21 (not actually used in PASV mode with FTP TLS/SSL)

 

You can't create a master ftp user, pure-ftpd virtual ftp is per nginx vhost site only. If you want to just upload yourself, you can use sftp and root user paying attention to step 2 in getting started guide for chown nginx user/group permissions after uploading or use sftp root user and backup-perm.sh tool in a cronjob https://community.centminmod.com/th...kup-restore-file-directory-permissions.10633/
