By default Pure-ftpd limits you to only being able to list < 2000 files.
To change this, do the following..
Edit your pure-ftpd config file – usually in /etc/pure-ftpd.conf
change the line
LimitRecursion 2000 8
to
LimitRecursion xxxx 8
Where xxxx is the number of files you want to limit it to…
Restart the pure-ftpd service and you should be done!

If you have done a fresh mysql install from tarball, its possible you might encounter the following error when trying to use a client such as mysqladmin etc.. :
error: ‘Can’t connect to local MySQL server through socket ‘/tmp/mysql.sock’ (2)’
This might occur even if the mysql binary is running and the services seems to be listening on port 3306.
One common reason for this is that your my.cnf file doesnt have the correct location for your sock file.
Check it out, have a look in /etc/my.cnf and ensure that the sections under [mysqld] and [client] point to the correct location for your mysql.sock file – likely /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
You may find that the [client] section is missing, in which case just create it as below:
[client]
socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
that hopefully will allow your client to now connect.

We all want faster web pages, and there is a number of ways to achieve this.
One way is to use compression with apache. This means slightly more cpu overhead on the webserver, but should result in better performance of your webpages..
Here is a step by step guide to doing this on linux with apache > 2.0
In your httpd conf file under your location add in the following, this will compress everything except images:
<Location />
# Insert filter
SetOutputFilter DEFLATE
# Netscape 4.x has some problems...
BrowserMatch ^Mozilla/4 gzip-only-text/html
# Netscape 4.06-4.08 have some more problems
BrowserMatch ^Mozilla/4\.0[678] no-gzip
# MSIE masquerades as Netscape, but it is fine
# BrowserMatch \bMSIE !no-gzip !gzip-only-text/html
# NOTE: Due to a bug in mod_setenvif up to Apache 2.0.48
# the above regex won't work. You can use the following
# workaround to get the desired effect:
BrowserMatch \bMSI[E] !no-gzip !gzip-only-text/html
# Don't compress images
SetEnvIfNoCase Request_URI \
\.(?:gif|jpe?g|png)$ no-gzip dont-vary
# Make sure proxies don't deliver the wrong content
Header append Vary User-Agent env=!dont-vary
</Location>
Then enable compression by adding the following to your conf file:
SetOutputFilter DEFLATE
Restart or reload apache and you should now be compressing content..
