It cant start as it already started. You can maybe stop it http://serverfault.com/questions/617591/proftpd-unable-to-determine-ip-address and start again or press restart. Is there a problem logging in over ftp? if so what problem? www.copiatek.nl Log in or register to post comments #3 Sun, 12/21/2008 - 20:34 (Reply to #2) southerns Hi Thanx for the responses. /var/log/proftpd is empty. This is what makes it so frustrating its not giving me any info as to whats wrong. proftpd is not running as it only gives me the option to start it, no stop or restart. I also https://www.virtualmin.com/node/8786 cannot login with FTP to my sites. Log in or register to post comments #4 Mon, 12/22/2008 - 10:52 (Reply to #3) andreychek Is there perhaps another FTP service running? If you log into your system using SSH, what do you get when you run this: netstat -an | grep :21 Also, does anything show up in /var/log/messages when you try to start proftp? -Eric Log in or register to post comments #5 Sun, 01/04/2009 - 02:32 (Reply to #4) F1nr1 Hi, I have the same problem as southerns. I have checked netstat -an | grep :21 and nothing is used. also checked the log files and there is nothing in it about proftpd. Does anybody already has a solution? regards. F1nr1 Log in or register to post comments #6 Sun, 01/04/2009 - 05:06 (Reply to #5) andreychek If you log in as root over SSH, are you able to start proftpd from the command line using something like this: /etc/init.d/proftp restart If it doesn't work, do you get any error message? If you don't get an error message, what do you see if you type this: proftpd --configtest If that doesn't show an error, I'm curious if you see any useful output by manually running the daemon with this: proftpd Do you receive any errors? Or does it perhaps work? Thanks, -Eric Log in or register to post comments #7 Mon, 01/05/2009 - 08:12 (Reply to #6) F1nr1
