Can not create FTP user. (ispcp 1.0.7 - Ubuntu LTS 10.04.2)

[claussit]

Hello ,
When I create an FTP user , next step is to choose the directory . At that step ISPCP tells me can not open directory . I guess it could be a rights issue on the site directory . Right now I can not figure out the problem. Can someone help?

If it says something like "Can not open directory. Please contact your administrator" (I don't remember the exact message), then it means that your FTP service is *not* working.

See the solving ProFTPD issues guide on how to detect the exact problem and fix it.

* Starting ftp server proftpd - processing configuration directory '/etc/proftpd/ispcp'
[ OK ]

ProFTPD is ok and up .The issue is user rights . It is true that I've worked other stuff on this server. But none of that could affect ISPCP .

The server may start yet be unusable. Please read the page I linked carefully and follow the instructions there (do *not* forget to try to connect and see if it works).

You're right. I tried all possibilities written in the link placed by you. I use a separate ftp server and everything is fine now. Thanks for the help.

I met the same problem before, but later it was solved by one of my friends.
