I would like to add an FTP user to have access to only a subdomain of my regular domain rebelirc.net. Pretty much I have the FTP user rebelirc.net and would like to add an ftp user to have access to only bnc.rebelirc.net, I have found 1 way of doing it by adding a second domain bnc.rebelirc.net (not a subdomain but a domain) and assigned that to a FTP user but upon doing so I no longer can access any subdomains of rebelirc.net such as my subdomain IdleRPG.rebelirc.net is there a way around this, or a way of doing this?

will be implemented soon,

This is a great Control panel. I’d never heard of it before until I found this post. So I followed the instructions and installed from the command line on my Debian 5 Lenny, all installed perfectly!.

The only problem I seem to have is when setting auto-reply on email accounts.
That won’t work and it seems to keep creating lines in my server console log:

Aug 23 12:06:34 Jason-Debian5 pipe[17442]: fatal: pipe_command: execvp /var/www/new/ehcp/misc/autoreply.php: Permission denied

Anyone know what is going wrong?

Another bug I found, If you have a domain set-up and then set it Active/De-Active domain, you have a drop down box with Active and Passive.
If I chose Passive the domain is gone, which is how it works, But, when I chose to Active it again it just won’t work. And I had to delete the domain and re-create it.
So best to avoid using that.

Another issue, I set my server to allow users to create domains, but there is username or password box for the user to create an account on the server, it simply creates the domain and I have to active it, How do I inform the owner who requested it if I don’t know his email address?.
So I have now de-activated that again.

In all, this is a very good free open source control panel and I am very happy using it.
Just needs some bugs fixed.
