Im trying to get Proftpd to share /var/www/html. Right now it is sharing /home/ali. I tried to bind the html folder to /home/ali, it shows that it is binded on the terminal but when I use the ftp the folder is not there.

change the default root in /etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf to what you want and restart proftpd.

This is the config file

# This is the ProFTPD configuration file

ServerName "ProFTPD server"
ServerIdent on "FTP Server ready."
ServerAdmin root@localhost
ServerType standalone
#ServerType inetd
DefaultServer on
AccessGrantMsg "User %u logged in."
#DisplayConnect /etc/ftpissue
#DisplayLogin /etc/ftpmotd
#DisplayGoAway /etc/ftpgoaway
DeferWelcome off

# Use this to excude users from the chroot
DefaultRoot ~adm

# Use pam to authenticate (default) and be authoritative
AuthPAMConfig proftpd
AuthOrder mod_auth_pam.c* mod_auth_unix.c

# Do not perform ident nor DNS lookups (hangs when the port is filtered)
IdentLookups off
UseReverseDNS off

# Port 21 is the standard FTP port.
Port 21





I tried to change
DefaultRoot ~adm
to
DefaultRoot ~/var/www/html
but when I start ftp it says failed

I wonder if it's a PAM issue?

>> edit: oh, remove the ~ before /var. the ~ means your home directory.

Got it to work with virtual servers, but..........I have a file within that contains php, that won't load. So it keeps defaulting the website to my default virtual host. I did a yum install php, and I am using Apache 2.2.8 on Ferdora 7. I have changed permissions on the files for apache.
