linux-howto

http://ubuntuforums.org – I have a new problem. One of my users home directory is suddenly invisible. su -k ./username shows significant size (several hundred megabytes) ls -l ./username shows no files at all mkdir ./username/knowndirectory returns "directory exists" fsck of the file system shows no problems. I'm stumped. (Hardware)

Stories similar to [ubuntu] Users Home directory invisible

I have a user which is chrooted to her home directory, but I want her to also be able to manage files within /var/www. As such, I did the following:

root@server:/home/username# ln -s /var/www www root@server:/home/username# cd www root@server:/home/username/www# chown username:username *

However, when I try to open /www with FileZilla it returns "no such file or directory".

I'm using the Fedora 12 pam_mount / libHX RPMs on a RHEL 6 x86_64 system to automatically mount home directories from a NetApp system configured with NTFS-only security

AD-bound logins work fine - I'm having problems with making it automatically mount and map user homedir shares.

I am using ubuntu with nautilus installed. My username is changed recently. Hence after the change i am unable to open my home Directory. My home directory is still in my old username.

On one of our remote systems mkdir -p $directory fails when the directory exists. which means it shows

mkdir: cannot create directory '$directory' : file exists

This is really puzzling, as I believed the contract of -p was that is always succeed when the directory already exists.

I currently have a Samba share setup where I would like to share Unix folders with Windows users, with Active directory as the backend.

I have a CentOS 6.3 installed with httpd running and vsftpd but I am unable to balance permission between the user able to upload over ftp and their website working.

What I do:

I create a user with their home directory as `/home/username` I create a sub folder called `html` for their website I chown their directory `chown -R username:apache /home/username` I chmod their directory `chmod -R 750

Hi,

Currently cpbackup makes a copy of each site home directory (/home/username) in "/home/cpbackuptmp/cpbackup/daily" and then creates an archive from those files. Can the cpbackup process be modified so that it creates the archive directly from the /home/username directory. This will save a lot of time and disk/io during the backup process.

Apache Mod_Rewrite in an Alias 1 year 14 weeks ago

Hello,I have mod_rewrite working just fine for files that are in /srv/http. I copied my test files to another directory where I have an alias pointing and tried them there but was not able to get it working. Is anyone able to spot what I am doing wrong?
