[BlueOnyx:10481] Re: proftpd won't start

[Larry Smith]

Marcus,

  Hmmm, ok that shows ftpd is not starting, if you still have the proftpd.conf
file commented to be "standalone", try starting it from the command line
with DEBUG set:  EG:  /usr/sbin/proftpd -d 5 -m

and see what it says on your screen (might be a fair amount of data).
