vsftpd: refusing to run with writable root inside chroot()

Posted on July 27, 2013

I have installed vsftpd on my Ubuntu 12.04 x32 I have set up vsftpd.conf and uncommented local_enable=YES and write_enable=YES and chroot_local_user=YES (both of them).

I had already installed apache server in /home/var/www/

so I did a chown root:root /var/www/

When I try to login with the root username and password to the ftp server. I get the error vsftpd: refusing to run with writable root inside chroot()
