I'm trying to install vsftpd on my computer. But in some way, it gives me this error:
500 oops config file not owned by correct user or not a file.
What I did:
I tried to change the users back from root to $user and this is the error when I try to type "vsftpd" on the terminal:
"sudo chown root:$user vsftpd.conf" Error: config file not owned by correct user, or not a file.
"sudo chown $user:$user vsftpd.conf" Error: Must be started as root (see run_as_launching_user option)
I don't really know what type of user and group to change it to. Any help from you guys is appreciated.
