installing pure ftpd with mysql virtual users & unix users

mysql virtual users with unix users

Now in case we need to store the password of the user in the mysql database then we need to add the following steps

step 1: we copy the pureftpd-mysql.conf from /usr/local/src/pureftpd-msql.conf ====> to /usr/local/pureftpd/etc/.

the pureftpd-mysql.conf has the following details: 


#MYSQLServer     localhost
#MYSQLPort       3306
MYSQLSocket     /tmp/mysql.sock
MYSQLUser       root
MYSQLPassword   agnello
MYSQLDatabase   pureftpd
MYSQLCrypt      MD5
MYSQLGetPW      SELECT Password FROM ftpd WHERE User="\L"
MYSQLGetUID     SELECT Uid FROM ftpd WHERE User="\L"
MYSQLGetGID     SELECT Gid FROM ftpd WHERE User="\L"
MYSQLGetDir     SELECT Dir FROM ftpd WHERE User="\L"

step 2 : we create a data base in mysql ( pureftpd )

mysql -u root -password

create database pureftpd;

use pureftpd;

CREATE TABLE ftpd (
  User VARCHAR(16) BINARY NOT NULL,
  Password VARCHAR(64) BINARY NOT NULL,
  Uid VARCHAR(11) NOT NULL default '-1',
  Gid VARCHAR(11) NOT NULL default '-1',
  Dir VARCHAR(128) BINARY NOT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY  (User)
);

quit;

step 3: we create a directory where all our domains will be stored say  /etc/website
        the permission  i wll be as follows ( these are just the basic )


       [root@linux-test pure-ftpd-1.0.21]# ll /home/
       drwxr-xr-x 5 root     root     4096 May 20 17:30 website

step 4 : now suppose we have to creat a user for a domain called silly .com

         1. lets create a unix user

         useradd -d /home/website/silly.com -s /sbin/nologin silly

         2. then we add the virtual user ( with password ) in the the mysql database ( usning phpmyadmin )

         user: silly
         password ( MD5 ): silly123
         uid : silly
         gid : sil ly
         dir: /home/website/silly.com     
 
step 5: now we start the ftpd daemon

/usr/local/pureftpd/sbin/pure-ftpd   -lmysql:/usr/local/pureftpd/etc/pureftpd-mysql.conf -l unix  -j /home/websites &

can view the log with tail -f /var/log/messages

now try to log in ftp://192.168.0.244 with username and password
