I have followed the howto, but when I run "sudo /etc/init.d/proftpd start" I get this message:
ProFTPd warning: cannot start neither in standalone nor in inetd/xinetd mode. Check your configuration.
This is what my proftpd.conf file looks like:
Code:
#
# /etc/proftpd.conf -- This is a basic ProFTPD configuration file.
