SSH Users outsite website_docroot

[softstein]

Hi! My ISPconfig3 has the problem that SSH users are not generated. The error message is

WARNING - Directory of the shell user is outside of website docroot.

Digging in the sourcecode it turns out that the paths are different:
/home/www/clients/client11/web15 != /var/www/clients/client11/web15

This comes because all websites are located in /var/www (which is symlinking to /home/www ). Sure I changed all paths in Server Config accordingly.

What I do not know yet is: Where is the path in $data['new']['dir'] (line 77 in http://fossies.org/unix/privat/ISPCo...plugin.inc.php ) been taken from?

Changing the homedir of the SSH user does not make a difference. Did I overlook a configuration option here?

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

The directories of the ssh users are based on the directory of the website.

This comes because all websites are located in /var/www (which is symlinking to /home/www ). Sure I changed all paths in Server Config accordingly.

This can not work with a symlink as the real path is not the same then the website path. Remove the symlink and mount the directory with mount --bind instaed.
