Comments on How to compile PureFTPd on CentOS 7

How to compile PureFTPd on CentOS 7 In this tutorial I will explain the steps to compile PureFTPd from source on CentOS 7. Pure-ftpd is a lightweight and stable FTP daemon which supports various authentication backends like Linux system users, puredb, MySQL and PostgeSQL. I will later use pure-ftpd for ISPConfig 3, therefor I will compile it with MySQL / Mariadb support.

Great step-by-step guide. However, your configure string is not entirely accurate if you want TLS to work properly. First you need to install openssl (yum install openssl -y), then (step two) you can issue the configure command, but append '--with-tls', so "./configure --prefix=/usr --bindir=/usr/bin --sbindir=/usr/sbin --libexecdir=/usr/libexec --datadir=/usr/share --sysconfdir=/etc --sharedstatedir=/usr/com --localstatedir=/var --libdir=/usr/lib64 --includedir=/usr/include --infodir=/usr/share/info --mandir=/usr/share/man --with-mysql --with-virtualchroot"
