Comments on FTP server with PureFTPd, MariaDB and Virtual Users (incl. Quota and Bandwidth Management) on CentOS 7.2
This document describes how to install a PureFTPd server that uses virtual users from a MariaDB (MySQL compatible) database instead of real system users. This is much more performant and allows to have thousands of FTP users on a single machine. In addition to that, I will show the use of quota and upload/download bandwidth limits with this setup. Passwords will be stored encrypted as MD5 strings in the database.

For both of the comments above. Did you end up changing the password for the MYSQLPassword setting in the /etc/pure-ftpd/pureftpd-mysql.conf file? If so, double check that you provide the correct password.
