Hey guys, thanks in advance for any help you can give.

One of my DA boxes, proftp didn't start on server reboot, direct admin cannot start the proftp program, went into shell, did /etc/init.d/proftpd restart
and got.....
--------
Shutting down proftpd: cat: /var/run/proftpd.pid: No such file or directory
kill: 87: Usage: kill [-s sigspec | -signum | -sigspec] [pid | job]... or
kill -l [exitstatus]

Starting proftpd: - Fatal: ScoreboardFile: : unable to use '/var/run/proftpd/proftpd.pid': No such file or directory on line 12 of '/etc/proftpd.conf'

touch: cannot touch `/var/lock/subsys/proftpd': No such file or directory
----------

Any ideas why it wont start?
Regards
Ben
 
Check and make sure those directories exist and the permissions are correct.
