"Fake root" not working correctly

[Nikola S]

I have two users - user1 and user2 - and for each I define the home
directory and fake root to be the same, i.e., /home/ftpusers/user1 for
user1 and /home/ftpusers/user2 for user2. I would expect that each of
them would be chrooted in their respective home directory and not be
able to see the others' files. However, both can access everything
within /home/ftpusers/.

I've followed the installation instructions from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureFTP,
restarted the ftp service after each change, and still the same. Also,
'pure-pw show user1' shows that the home directory is indeed /home/
ftpusers/user1/./, meaning that virtual users should be working fine!
Any suggestion would be much appreciated.

Cheers,
Nikola

Is there any difference if you (as root) run: pure-pw mkdb

This will rebuild the database and apply the changes to the ftp server

Thanks for the prompt response!
Yes, that actually helped, now it's working absolutely fine.
Thanks again,
