EasyEngine Could not create user

When creating a wordpress web site on EasyEngine, i get following error

root@ee:~# ee site create smartandsolar.serverok.in --wp
Starting site creation.
Warning: Could not create user smartandsolar.serverok.in-8LHl6l. Please check logs.
Warning: Initiating clean-up.
Success: Site smartandsolar.serverok.in deleted.
Report bugs here: https://github.com/EasyEngine/site-type-wp
root@ee:~#

This is because EasyEngine try to create a WordPress admin user, that failed to create due to length. To fix the error, you can specify a shorter wordpress admin user name with option –admin-user=admin

ee site create smartandsolar.serverok.in --wp --admin-user=admin

Enable FTP for EasyEngine Website
To Enable FTP for EasyEngine web sites, we need to install pure-ftpd. On Ubuntu/Debian, run
```
apt install -y pure-ftpd
```
Enable virtial FTP users
```
ln -s /etc/pure-ftpd/conf/PureDB /etc/pure-ftpd/auth/PureDB
touch /etc/pure-ftpd/pureftpd.pdb
```
In EasyEngine, we sites files are owned by www-data user, this user have a UID of 33. By default pure-ftpd won’t allow this. To enable users with UD 33 to login, run
```
echo 1 > /etc/pure-ftpd/conf/MinUID
```
Now lets create FTP user for a web site running in EasyEngine.
```
pure-pw useradd  FTP_USER_HERE -u www-data -g www-data -d /opt/easyengine/sites/DOMAIN_NAME_HERE/app/
```
In above command replace

FTP_USER_HERE = FTP user for the web site, this can be any name, no space

DOMAIN_NAME_HERE = the domain name of the web site that is hosted in EasyEngine, that you need FTP access.

When you run above command, you will be asked to select password for the FTP user, this can be used to login to FTP server.

Before you can login to FTP server with newly created virtual FTP user, you need to run
```
pure-pw mkdb
systemctl restart pure-ftpd
```
Change FTP Password

If you want to change FTP user for a user, you can run
```
pure-pw passwd FTP_USER_HERE
pure-pw mkdb
systemctl restart pure-ftpd
```
Passive FTP Configuration

Many cloud hosting providers like AWS, Google Cloud, Oracle Cloud, AliCloud servers use NAT networking. That is your VM have private IP and your public IP is routed to your VM. In such case, you need to enable Passive FTP, for this run
```
echo "30000 50000" > /etc/pure-ftpd/conf/PassivePortRange
echo "YOUR_PUBLIC_IP" > /etc/pure-ftpd/conf/ForcePassiveIP
```
YOUR_PUBLIC_IP = replace this with your public IP address.

Restart pure-ftpd
```
systemctl restart pure-ftpd
```
Firewall configuration

For Passive FTP, you need to open following ports in your firewall
```
tcp 21
tcp 30000:50000
```
On Oracle Cloud server, i edited file
```
vi /etc/iptables/rules.v4
```
Find
```
-A INPUT -p tcp -m state --state NEW -m tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT
```
Replace with
```
-A INPUT -p tcp -m state --state NEW -m tcp --dport 21 -j ACCEPT
-A INPUT -p tcp -m state --state NEW -m tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT
-A INPUT -p tcp -m state --state NEW -m tcp --dport 30000:50000 -j ACCEPT
```
Now restore firewall rules with
```
iptables-restore < /etc/iptables/rules.v4
```
Now FTP will work.
