ISPConfig 2 ProFTPD issue

[Razvan Cioiu]

Hello.


I have a problem with ProFTPD... it will not start.

I used this guide to install ProFTPD http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-se...ispconfig-2-p5

When i try to start the service i get:

service proftpd start
Starting proftpd: [FAILED]

I installed ProFTPD AFTER ISPConfig 2

Are there some configurations i need to do ?

my proftpd.conf file

How did you install ProFTPd? Why is there VHCS2 stuff in the ProFTPd configuration?

[Razvan Cioiu]

Hi


I used yum to install ProFTPD (yum install ProFTPD)

The VHCS2 stuff comes from trying ti install it.

You can not install a new controlpanel on a server where you tried to install a different controlpanel before. The setup will not work as every controlpanel uses a different setup. It does not matter if this is plesk, ispconfig, vhcs etc. You should format the server harddisk and reinstall it, follow the perfect server guide to install it for ISPConfig.

I have installed protfp before ISPCONFIG 2 ...same issue - Starting proftpd: [FAILED]

Clean install - Fedora 11 followed the example on http://www.howtoforge.com

I have installed proftp with yum - did not work before the installation of ISPCONFIG - after the instalation the same issue.

issue solved ...after restarting proftpd service from the gui of ispconfig...strange ..! Thanks!
