Proftp users / Virtual hosts when using XAMPP

[mbrossard]

Hello,

I just installed sucessfully XAMPP on a server (no graphical interface available).
I want my UNIX users to have their home directory in /home, a ftp connection and a virtualhost pointing to it.

I thought when i would add a unix user (useradd), it would have automaticly access to a ftp connection. But it doesn't seem to work. I think it's because XAMPP is installed in /opt/lampp.
Do you know how I can set this up correctly ?

Another simple question : I learnt how to set up virtual hosts, but i don't know where to enter them when using XAMPP.

Matthieu.

xampp come with his own ftp.. if u want to use vsftpd the stop xampp ftp permanetly with following command.
#/opt/lampp/lampp stopftp

2) for virtual host set up use following file fot vhost set up. (web)

/opt/lampp/etc/extra/httpd-vhost.conf

Hope this information work for u.

Thanks for your reply.

I'm fine using the integrated ftp server, but I need to be sure that when I create a user with the home folder at /home/user, then automaticly, this user can access this same folder by ftp.
This doesn't seem to work right now. Would you have any idea why ?

Concerning the Vhosts, I edited the /opt/lampp/etc/httpd.conf to include the /opt/lampp/etc/extra/httpd-vhost.conf file. Then I edited the httpd-vhosts.conf and set this rule :

<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /home/user
ServerName user.mondomaine.com
</VirtualHost>

user.mondomaine.com is correctly configured and leads to my server.
When I type this address in my brownser, i get this error :

"You don't have permission to access /xampp/ on this server."

I was looking into some <Directory> commands, but I couldn't get it working. Do you know what I'm missing ?

Thanks for your help.

I solved the VirtualHost problem. Here are the steps I followed, in case someone gets into the same kind of trouble.

I addes these lines to my VirtualHost :

Code: Select all

<Directory "/home/user">
order deny,allow
allow from all
</Directory>

I still had the same error, so I checked the log and found out that the problem was coming from the rights on the /home/user folder.
By typing

Code: Select all

chmod 755 /home/user

, it fixed the problem

I still have the FTP issue though.

I have another question :
When I type user.mondomaine.com, I get to the right place on my server, but I still have to use the XAMPP folder (/home/user/xampp) and the URL displayed in my brownser is http://myIP/xampp/
How can I change that for it not to use the XAMPP folder and display the URL typed by the user ?

Thanks raman36127 for your help.

under /opt/lampp/htdocs ..there is index.html page.
change this page,as u need. save & restart the lampp services.

Now onward u able u see ur page. not xampp page.

I've seen this page and I commented this line :

Code: Select all

<!-- <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=/xampp/"> -->

and rebooted lammp with /opt/lampp/lampp restart

I thought it would avoid the use of a xampp folder in my /home/user folder but it doesn't ...
Any idea how I should modify this page ?

Thanks for your help.
