Vsftpd service start error

I configured vsftpd for local use using this. When I try to start/restart/stop vsftpd using

Code:

sudo /etc/init.d/vsftpd restart

It says this

Code:

Rather than invoking init scripts through /etc/init.d, use the service(8)

utility, e.g. service vsftpd restart



Since the script you are attempting to invoke has been converted to an

Upstart job, you may also use the stop(8) and then start(8) utilities,

e.g. stop vsftpd ; start vsftpd. The restart(8) utility is also available.

vsftpd start/running, process 16881

When I try to use

Code:

service vsftpd restart

like it says, the console says this:
service vsftpd restart
restart: Rejected send message, 1 matched rules; type="method_call", sender=":1.72" (uid=1000 pid=17306 comm="restart vsftpd ") interface="com.ubuntu.Upstart0_6.Job" member="Restart" error name="(unset)" requested_reply="0" destination="com.ubuntu.Upstart" (uid=0 pid=1 comm="/sbin/init")

when I use

Code:

sudo service vsftpd restart

it gives this:

Code:

restart: Unknown instance:

Anyone has an idea?
Thanks already!

Problem solved while restarting.

sudo service vsftpd stop
sudo service vsftpd start

Did you not do what the rest of the message advised?

Also, by replying to your own thread, you removed it from the "zero posts" search pages, so would have lost visibility. Next time, have faith and leave it with no replies. Although I would have expected a pretty quick response too tbh.
