| !!CrushFTP4 upgrade troubleshooting tips. |
|
|
| v4 has a bit of a mess on its user connection groups. So when you look in the folder "users" you see MainUsers, lookup_21, lookup_80, etc. |
|
| Figure out which ones are correct. MainUsers is the default location since v5. But you can use the other named folders just fine too. |
|
| In the prefs, on the tab with the list of ports, down at the bottom is a list of the user connection groups. Remove or add them as appropriate to match up with the real ones you have based on the folder names in the users folder. |
|
| Then on each port, check to see what user connection group they are configured for. Assign them appropriately. |
|
| If you haven't done this then logins may fail when you start using CrushFTP9 as it can't find the users since they aren't associated to the port you are using. |
