Title: remote user access chroot ftp
Post by: bradleyj00 on November 05, 2010, 04:06:00 PM

I've been trying to locate the installation files for remote user access, but no luck. Has it been taken down for some reason?

Failing that, hoping someone can offer some command line assistance for chrooting an FTP user.

Thanks.

Thanks.

I just successfuly ran the following on a test server:

yum  --enablerepo=smecontribs install smeserver-remoteuseraccess

It would not run on my production server however. It appeared to download a series of files, then reported "Nothing to do"

Might there be a cache or something that has to be cleared?

you've already installed the contrib

you should have a web panel in your server-manager

Understood, but it's not there.

On my test server, it appears, but not on my production server. Is it possible to uninstall then reinstall.

Thanks for your help with this. I really appreciate it.

ok..

from console

Code: [Select]

rpm -e smeserver-remoteuseraccess

then retry..
close your browser, reopen it, delete browser's cache, then log in again

it should be here.. if not, it's bugzilla time

I just uninstalled the contrib using,

yum remove smeserver-remoteuseraccess-1.2-33.el4.sme

I then reinstalled with

yum  --enablerepo=smecontribs install smeserver-remoteuseraccess

The reinstall threw many checksum errors, but it seemed to resolve itself, and the installation completed successfully.

Here's a sample of the error....

http://mirror.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/centos/4.8/updates/i386/repodata/primary.xml.gz: [Errno -1] Metadata file does not match checksum
Trying other mirror.
http://mirrors.usc.edu/pub/linux/distributions/centos/4.8/updates/i386/repodata/primary.xml.gz: [Errno 12] Timeout: <urlopen error timed out>
Trying other mirror

All is now well.

Many thanks.
