• Debian 11 is approaching its end-of-life (vendor EOL date - August 31, 2026). Plesk Obsidian 18.0.80 will be the last release to support it.
    If you are running Plesk Obsidian on Debian 11, we recommend you upgrade those servers to Debian 12 using our dist-upgrade tool.
  • We plan to deprecate and remove the support for XML RPC protocol versions earlier than 1.6.9.1 in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.82. We strongly recommend that you update all existing integrations using earlier versions of the XML RPC protocol to comply with the version 1.6.9.1 specification.

After upgrade to 9.5.2 - proftpd log shows "Preparing to chroot to directory"

Hello,

I just upgraded plesk from 9.2.1 to 9.5.2 (CentOS 5.2). Everything runs smoothly, thanks for the good job done @ Parallels!

I only see one little problem:
- in the general logs ("/var/log/messages"), I see a line that occurs each time an ftp user uploads a file: "Preparing to chroot to directory"
- everything's work
- my only problem is that this notice/error give a lot of lines in my nightly logwatch

So, how can I stop getting this line? And am I right, this is not a big error (as everything's work)?

Thanks.

It is just notification but not error. It is related to proftpd logging.
 
Okay, that's what I thought. But how to disable the loging of those informations?
As my nightly logwatch gets too big for now.
 
I found the way to configure the nightly logwatch in order to ignore this kind of messages.

I simply edited the file /etc/logwatch/conf/ignore.conf as follow:

###### REGULAR EXPRESSIONS IN THIS FILE WILL BE TRIMMED FROM REPORT OUTPUT #####
Preparing to chroot to directory
