Hi:

 

Thanks for the tutorial. I followed through the steps to setup a ftp server with virtual user support on my ubuntu desktop machine. After completing the steps, when I start/restart the server, it gives me

" * Starting FTP server: vsftpd                                           [ OK ] "

message, but

"ps -ef | grep vsftpd | grep -v grep"

gives me no output. Also, I fail to login to the ftp server (obviously).

My guess is that vsftpd is not starting up due to some reason. Can someone please tell me which log to look into to see what might be the trouble? I have checked and rechecked my config, nothing seems to be wrong :-(.

Please help!
