• Halloween is coming! To celebrate the occasion, we dusted off a couple of old skins, and even created a brand new one (Pixel).
    To get into the festive spirit, install the Skins extension.
  • The new Python extension is now available. It allows customers to deploy and manage WSGI-based Python applications on their websites directly from Plesk.
  • The Plesk Mobile apps for iOS and Android and the Plesk Mobile Center extension have been deprecated, and are no longer available for new installations. In Plesk Obsidian 18.0.84, the Plesk Mobile Center extension will be removed from servers during the upgrade, and the Plesk Mobile apps will lose their server management features.
  • The Social Login extension has been deprecated and will be removed in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.84. After that, it will no longer be possible to log in to Plesk with a Google, Facebook, GitHub account, or with a passkey. Plesk usernames and passwords, as well as logging in with a WebPros Account, are not affected.

updating proftpd to proftpd-mysql

Sefu

New Pleskian
I am a bit dismayed at Plesk's limited support for ftp - I would like to set up multiple accounts, each limited to their own "jail" directory. I have managed to find a workaround that I can manage through my own web interface (using php), but for this I will need proftpd-mysql and not the base proftpd that comes packaged with Debian Sarge (3.1).

Problem: installing proftpd-mysql breaks the Plesk installation, and even makes root ssh login impossible - thus I cannot do a simple Plesk reinstall through the command line (as I could when I updated php4 to php5).

Is there any way around this? Better still, does there exist any 3rd-party ftp application I can integrate with Plesk? Thank you very much in advance.
 
Okay, if that doesn't inspire any answers...

Perhaps if I was to install Plesk only after installing Debian with proftpd-mysql? Would the plesk autoinstaller remove previous proftpd-mysql packages, and if so, should I do a manual install?
