Proftpd

[Seth]

I got a system message saying PROFTPD had stopped, logged into Directadmin to restart it and got a message saying it couldn't be restarted because there is no /etc/init.d/proftpd file. How do I reproduce this file? or can I reinstall proftpd? and if so how?

 

[smtalk]

rpm -e proftpd proftpd-standalone
wget http://files.directadmin.com/services/es_4.0/proftpd-1.2.10-1.i386.rpm
wget http://files.directadmin.com/services/es_4.0/proftpd-standalone-1.2.10-1.i386.rpm
rpm -ihv proftpd*rpm

Doesn't look like this has changed anything

a little more info:

[root@mercury proftpd]# service proftpd start
Starting proftpd: - no such group 'nogroup'
- Fatal: Group: Unknown group 'nogroup'. on line 27 of '/etc/proftpd.conf'
[FAILED]

I replaced 'nogroup' on line 27 of '/etc/proftpd.conf' with 'nobody' and pro ftpd started right up, DUH!

I had the same issue ...

I had the same issue and the problem was comming from a bad licence informations update.

My server is CentOS 5.2 64 bits and the licence was updated by DirectAdmin to the 32 version .... Before searching to long or doing many little trick to make it running, recheck your licence is for the right version.
