Hello,

It's probably the chmod 710 to the /home/username/domain/domain.com. Try chmodding it to 711.. I might have to figure out another way to secure things up.

We had the same problem and it has been solved bij the solution of chmodding to 711. But how is the status on that security leak?

Hello,

It generally isn't too much of an issue. You can just set your public_html folder to 710 and set the group to apache, and that would seal it up again.

Check your proftpd logs: /var/log/proftpd/* and /var/log/messages

Check /etc/proftpd.vhosts.conf to make sure that the correct ftp password file is being used with the IP you've specified. If no virtualhost for that ip exists, it should default to /etc/proftpd.passwd .. and then look inside the password file to make sure that the anonymous account exists.

/etc/proftpd.vhosts.conf doesnt contain a virutal host for the IP and /etc/proftpd.passwd doesn't contain any anonymous users.

How do I add them?

Hello,

Try disabling and enabling anonymous ftp again for the domain.

I'm not sure .. there isn't a whole lot more to check. Check to ensure that the /etc/proftpd.vhosts.conf does *not* contain a virtualhost for the main server IP..

Also make sure that the directory actually exists.. double check the permissions on all directories above it (needs 755).

After that, I'm fresh out of clues. If you need me to take a look send us your info via https://www.directadmin.com/clients/safesubmit.php
