I don't understand this message:
- warning: "ProFTPD" address/port (10.0.5.1:21) already in use by "Debian"

In /etc/proftpd.conf
ServerName "Debian"

is defined. When I comment out ServerName:
#ServerName "Debian"

I get the message:
- warning: "ProFTPD" address/port (10.0.5.1:21) already in use by "ProFTPD"

Why I get that message?

I was already been searching for this prob in this forum but I'm not using Suse, I'm using Debian3.1.
SocketBindTight on has'nt no effect in Debian3.1 and even an reboot.

Please put this at the end of /etc/proftpd.conf, right before "Include /etc/proftpd_ispconfig.conf":

<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1>
DefaultRoot ~
AllowOverwrite on
Umask 002
</VirtualHost>
Then restart proftpd.

Add a section like this for every IP address you have and restart proftpd.

I've done that also but nothing changed.

If FTP is working nevertheless, I'd simply ignore the warning.

I've found that if I comment out this include in /etc/proftpd.conf
"#Include /etc/proftpd_ispconfig.conf"

the warning messege are gone.
But I don't understand why.

The problem is that proftpd binds on the port before it reads the virtual server configuration. Thats a common problem and you can ignore it as falko posted.
