Subject: Question about FTP
Well you're certainly biting off more than most people could chew. You not only are new to FreeBSD but also to ftp and http. Hopefully you have some substantial Unix experience. If not, then you need to stop now and find a knowledgeable friend.I am new to FreeBSD, and I am wondering what good, easy-to-use and reliable FTP server FreeBSD can use. I tried ProFTP, and had problem after problem. When I figured out how to fix one error, I had another, after another, after another. Are there any good alternatives? I am using FreeBSD-4.8.
Also, how do you get Apache to point to a specific directory? And, how would I use multipule domains on the single machine, pointing them to a separate directory? Would I need multipule domains?
I am attempting to use FreeBSD as a http server, ftp server, PHPbb server, and possibly an IRC server. I would be using at least two domains to start, and possibly another two within a couple of months.
You need to read the Apache config docs and learn how to create virtual domains on a web server. You need to learn how to set up a server securely. Who's going to handle dns for this(these) domain(s)? If you're really going to run an IRC server, you need to be even *more* knowledgeable.
You have a lot of work ahead of you, and a lot of heatache if you don't do it right.
