Hi,

I am beginning to think there is a bug specific to ubuntu server and vsftpd.

I am not sure why but since the release of 1.5 I have not been able to update plugins.

Even though the error says authentication, it isn't and I have said this on many occasions.

For some reason Oxwall is trying to mkdir a duplicated directory.

"/srv/www/myweb/srv/www/myweb/ow_core/test"

"/srv/www/myweb/srv/www/myweb/" doesn't exist.

"/srv/www/myweb/" does.

Why is oxwall creating a duplication of "/srv/www/myweb/"

So that we get "/srv/www/myweb/srv/www/myweb/"

I keep asking this? I guess it must be ubuntu & vsftp but its a very common partnership.

Any answers as this has been going on for a long time?

Platform version 1.5.3 (build 6341)

ubuntu 12.04 & vsftpd

I am unsure why it navigates through to the install directory.

Then it tries to change directory to what looks like a null string

Should it of gone back to root / ?

Then it creates a directory with its full root string srv/www/myweb/ow_core/test

But it is already in the srv/www/myweb Dir

So we end up with the "/srv/www/myweb/srv/www/myweb/ow_core/test" garbage.

Many Thanks
