I just follow the instruction from howtoforge for Pure-FTPD with mysql support. Recently I realize that tutorial dedicated to buid a FTP with no have relation with httpd.

When I try to login to my ftp it can login well but the user will be “read-only” because the FTP home folder owner is apache user. For example my FTP user cacti with home user /var/www/html/cacti.

To accommodate my needs I need to adjust some parameter on pure-ftpd config ( /etc/pure-ftpd/pure-ftpd.conf ) , find “MinUID” string and set it to apache UID / for example on my server apache UID is 48 , now set MinUID to 48. Restart your Pure-FTPD server and test it ^^

In part used session function (I use the library session Codeigniter) , randomly displays a HTTP 406 error.

When searching on google, I know that the problem is probably caused by the Apache  mod_security. I tried de-active mod_security function using  . htaccess files but it causes HTTP error 500.

When a page that uses session displays a HTTP 406 error, It can be fixed by delete computer cookies, but sometimes  it comes back HTTP error 406 at random.

Another problem, the session produced by the library Codeigniter likely trigger mod_security apache and the mod_security considers it as a threat so mod_security block access from my  IP (I have many times to reset my modem to get a new IP)

My solution :  I change my session from the Codeigniter library  into Native PHP session. The solution worked perfectly, I don’t have anymore HTTP error 406 and blocked by mod_security.
