DNS just points where ( which machine / IP ) to connect. This is an FTP permissions issue. Check the permissions you have given for the username on the directory you have tried to upload files.
YES,
Thanks. Having done a bit of reading on the topic I realised that I needed to change the chmod's to 755 or similar to allow for writing.
This and not having the 'root' as the owner.
Edit:
Things are still not working quite right...
Am I correct in thinking that if I create a DNS Template with lxadmin that I am in effect hosting nameservers?
If this is the case I should be able to add 3 name servers I think
The 2 nameservers provided by x10hosting for my shared hosting as well as a 3rd one ns1.4allofus.com for example.
Point this ns to my VPS IP and add a few A records to it.
I can then go back to my registrar )register.com) and add 3 nameservers to my account.
The x10hosting ns's will then work for the shared hosting and my VPS will do the rest.
OK, I am assuming all this makes sense and also assuming that the DNS template manager is basically a nameserver host feature, but does seem to make sense to me.
I contacted x10 hosting support and got a helpful reply back from David;

Hello Matthew,
You have a few options for domains in respect to a VPS.
1.) The A record of the VPS could be changed to reflect domains and sub-domains, which is done manually by x10Hosting Administrators. (Not ideal for users requiring many domains and sub-domains.)
2.) You can use a free DNS service such as OpenDNS (
http://www.opendns.com/start). (More ideal for multiple domains and sub-domains, not ideal for domain automation.)
3.) Install your own Nameserver such as BIND (Named) on your VPS. WebMin (
http://www.webmin.com) is a good solution giving you a nice interface to BIND that doesn't require work at the shell. This route is probably the most complex, and will require you to register your nameservers with your Qualified Registrar, which is an important step to setting up nameservers. This also requires the use of 2 (two) IP addresses to be RFC compliant and most Registrars will not allow only a singular IP. (Most ideal for users needing many domains and sub-domains, and for domain automation.)

So I looked into BIND and when I did
yum list bind
bind.i386 is installed on the VPS.
there are a few updates available, but if this is not really what I need, why add to it?
Maybe the lxadmin DNS Template uses bind?
LINUX
Loathing
Inadequate
Newbie
Underlings
XD
I draw this conclusion because most of the support manuals, forums, blogs, websites and videos I have watched are actually harder to follow than the problem one is trying to learn about.
If LINUX think they are going to replace or even give windows a run for their money they got another thing coming, really.
LINUX made easy.... MICROSOFT!!!
lol

One other thing;
MX Records
Host Name Priority Mail Server
= .4allofus.com = =
= .4allofus.com = =
On register.com there is this form (above) and I am supposed to add the 'Host Name' and the 'Mail Server'
I am only interested in mail.4allofus.com... Emails are already being sent from the website, but I think they are being generated by php_mail. When I attempt to access my emails via IMAP I cannot connect. So assuming again I think I need to do something here to make it work, but am not sure what to do.
Trouble I am having here is that each registrar has it's own way of allowing for edits, so I read 1 tutorial, get a piece of advice or whatever and when I go to apply it the advice does not fit. In this case the form is asking different to what I have been told to do.... OMG.
If I knew this was going to be sooooo complicated I would have bought a tortoise instead.
Well I say complicated, actually it is all just 'new' and progress has been made. Our ventrilo server, shoutcast servers are running already and the site is running from 2 different servers also, so not bad going really. MORE is good though, hehehe.
The greatest pain has been getting JAVA and red5 server to talk nicely with one another, at present have rebuilt teh server and quit the project because I could not get it to work for love, nor money. MORE ON THAT LATER!
Edit:
****UPDATE****
I took another look at the webmin website and realised that although bind was installed, 'webmin' was not.
I followed this tutorial -
http://www.webmin.com/rpm.html
and have installed webmin and it was painless. NOW I need to figure out how best to create my own nameservers for the VPS. When th task is complete I should be able to add the nameservers to my registrar.
Waffling, yes, getting there, absolutely.
Maybe this waffling will be of help to the next man?
