500 FTP server shut down

[outpernet]

in a new installation (fedora 1) i can get proftp to works..

Always this error when i try to connect:

500 FTP server shut down (Maintanance in progress)


I tried downgrade to 1.2.9 but same error..

 

[outpernet]

i tried reinstalling again 1.2.9 and now the error is:

[root@us1 scripts]# service proftpd restart
Shutting down proftpd: [FAILED]
Starting proftpd: - no such group 'nogroup'
- Fatal: Group: Unknown group 'nogroup'.
[FAILED]

Hey,

In your proftpd.conf file you need to set the Group to something other than "nogroup" as nogroup is not a Group.

Like:

Group nobody

or:

Group ftp

But now the same error like before:

500 FTP server shut down (Maintanance in progress)

Hey,

Check to see if "/etc/shutmsg" exists...

If it does, remove it. Then restart proftpd

In RH9 like something like this:

# rm /etc/shutmsg
# /sbin/service proftpd restart
