Thanks for sharing your method! I did some searching last night and figured out why the default proftpd package for Ubuntu 10.04 doesn't work; it doesn't come with a module that's needed for Galaxy: the mod_sql_passwd module. So I reinstalled proftpd from source and now it works fine :)

I forgot to mention earlier that you'll still need to do the database GRANT etc. as described on the wiki page you pointed to. The mentioned method does not do that.

You can try extracting the ProFTP install method from mi-deployment and running only it via Fabric? We use this method to install ProFTP on the cloud and galaxy VM, both of which are based on Ubuntu 10.04.

The method is available here: https://bitbucket.org/afgane/mi-deployment/src/d894af37a83b/mi_fabfile.py#cl-442

(also take a look at the _required_packages method and _setup_users method because some additional configuration is done there).

Hope this helps,
Enis

Hi,

Has anyone set up ProFTPd successfully on Ubuntu 10.04 to enable FTP upload on Galaxy? I followed the instructions on this link (http://wiki.g2.bx.psu.edu/Admin/Config/Upload%20via%20FTP) but it doesn't work.

Thanks,
Luobin
