ProFTP doesn't start
 
Hi, I have installed proFTP server on a Fedora 7 box, and it was functioning well before a reboot, it fails to start the service.

Where can I find the logs or error messages for this service??, for a clue of why it is not starting.

Thanks

How did you configured proftpd to run? As a standalone service, or through xinetd? For standalone mode you can put the proftpd startup script in rc.local and for xinetd you should copy the xinetd script in /etc/xinetd.d and run
Code:
chkconfig proftpd on

I configure it as a standalone service with
Code:
chkconfig --levels 235 proftpd on
It tries to start at boot, but fails, but don't gives me an explanation of why is it failing.

Since you've configured proftpd in standalone mode, you can run it debug mode from command line:
Code:
proftpd -nd5
to see if you find any errors (you can increase debugging from d0 to d10)
