Hi Guys,
I'm trying to set up VPS on Linode but I got stuck with that message: "You must give (non-root) uid and gid"
can anyone tell me what I need to do?
The command I wrote is: "pure-pw useradd xxxx -u nginx -g nginx -d /home/nginx/domains/"
the uid and gid where created when I registered to Linode isn't?
Thanks
Take a look into using a control panel, for example serverpilot.io to manager domains, ftp users etc
Hi Nick,
Thank you for your answer.
Linode is a VPS cloud hosting, and I do all of the changes via linux.
it's just that one code is not working and I don't know why
You need to make a user that's not root (when you set up the VPS you will get a root pw, ssh in and make a new user). Then you need to make a group and a user (google how to do it on your setup, i.e. Ubuntu or CentOS).
then you can run someting like id -u username and id -g groupname, get the IDs and run the code.
"pure-pw useradd xxxx -u 1234 -g 4321 -d /home/nginx/domains/"
Hi Jesse,
I've tried 10 different guides on google, but I can't solve it...
Do you have a recommended guide that you know works?
