proftpd not starting

[acservices]

I recently installed directadmin on ubuntu 6.0.6 dapper drake running in a virtual environment.

When i logged in for the first time I saw that all services besides "proftpd" started.
So i tryed too started it using the code:

/etc/init.d/proftpd start

However doing so gives me the following error message:

Fatal: ScoreboardFile: : unable to use '/var/run/proftpd/proftpd.pid' No such file or directory on line 13 of '/etc/proftpd.conf'

and

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

I can fix this by by creating the "/var/run/proftpd" and "/var/lock/subsys/proftpd" folder using the makedir command, however after every reboot I appear too lose those two folders again.

 

[acservices]

It's fixed it was because the OS was seen as Debian 3.1 and although they are very simular there we're a few differences in folder structure so we changed some paths in the ini file and now it works
