Hi everyone, I have a problem about configuring Proftpd and Mysql with galaxy, i have followed the steps from the galaxy wiki about ftp. I have created a database 'galaxy' and a user mmonsoor which has all the rights on the database. I think that the reason is about the proftpd.conf, below is a copy of my proftpd.conf: # This is a basic ProFTPD configuration file (rename it to # 'proftpd.conf' for actual use. It establishes a single server # and a single anonymous login. It assumes that you have a user/group # "nobody" and "ftp" for normal operation and anon. ServerName "Galaxy Server" ServerType standalone DefaultServer on # Port 21 is the standard FTP port. Port 21 # Don't use IPv6 support by default. UseIPv6 off # Umask 022 is a good standard umask to prevent new dirs and files # from being group and world writable. Umask 077 SyslogFacility DAEMON SyslogLevel debug # To prevent DoS attacks, set the maximum number of child processes # to 30. If you need to allow more than 30 concurrent connections # at once, simply increase this value. Note that this ONLY works # in standalone mode, in inetd mode you should use an inetd server # that allows you to limit maximum number of processes per service # (such as xinetd). MaxInstances 30 # Set the user and group under which the server will run. User nobody Group nogroup PassivePorts 30000 40000 # To cause every FTP user to be "jailed" (chrooted) into their home # directory, uncomment this line. DefaultRoot ~ # Automatically create home directory if it doesn't exist CreateHome on dirmode 700 # Allow users to overwrite their files AllowOverwrite on # Allow users to resume interrupted uploads AllowStoreRestart on # Normally, we want files to be overwriteable. AllowOverwrite on # Bar use of SITE CHMOD by default <Limit SITE_CHMOD> DenyAll </Limit> # Bar use of RETR (download) since this is not a public file drop <Limit RETR> DenyAll </Limit> # A basic anonymous configuration, no upload directories. If you do not # want anonymous users, simply delete this entire <Anonymous> section. <Anonymous ~ftp> User ftp Group ftp # We want clients to be able to login with "anonymous" as well as "ftp" UserAlias anonymous ftp # Limit the maximum number of anonymous logins MaxClients 10 # We want 'welcome.msg' displayed at login, and '.message' displayed # in each newly chdired directory. DisplayLogin welcome.msg DisplayChdir .message # Limit WRITE everywhere in the anonymous chroot <Limit WRITE> DenyAll </Limit> </Anonymous> # Do not authenticate against real (system) users #AuthPAM off # Set up mod_sql_password - Galaxy passwords are stored as hex-encoded SHA1 SQLPasswordEngine on SQLPasswordEncoding hex # Set up mod_sql to authenticate against the Galaxy database SQLEngine on SQLBackend sql SQLConnectInfo galaxy@localhost mmonsoor MyPassword SQLAuthTypes SHA1 SQLAuthenticate users # An empty directory in case chroot fails SQLDefaultHomedir /var/opt/local/proftpd # Define a custom query for lookup that returns a passwd-like entry.

SQLUserInfo custom:/LookupGalaxyUser SQLNamedQuery LookupGalaxyUser SELECT "email,password,'512','512','/home/mmonsoor/galaxy-dist/database/files/%U','/bin/bash' FROM galaxy_user WHERE email='%U'" I don't know what is wrong about my proftpd.conf? Thanks in advance to all. Mish
