ProFTPD fails to starthi, I just installed ProFTPD using 'apt-get install proftpd'. ServerName "rhftp" ShowSymlinks on TimeoutNoTransfer 600 DisplayLogin welcome.msg # Port 21 is the standard FTP port. # Umask 022 is a good standard umask to prevent new files and dirs # To prevent DoS attacks, set the maximum number of child processes # Set the user and group that the server normally runs at. # Normally, we want files to be overwriteable. AllowOverwrite on # A basic anonymous configuration, no upload directories. User ftp RequireValidShell off # Limit the maximum number of anonymous logins # We want 'welcome.msg' displayed at login, and '.message' displayed # Limit WRITE everywhere in the anonymous chroot DenyAll # Uncomment this if you're brave. DenyAll AllowAll Can someone tell me what could be/is wrong? -- |

Change ServerType from inetd to standalone.

That is the normal place for the config files. On my system, I
don't have a /etc/proftpd.conf, it is in the /etc/proftpd directory.
You should probably remove the one under /etc and use the one in
/etc/proftpd.
