[BlueOnyx:10478] proftpd won't start

[Marcus]

Gerald,

I ran the netstat command you supplied and nothing came up.  Perhaps I 
should have also mentioned that the active monitor is reporting that the 
ftp server is not running and cannot be restarted.

Larry,

I did what you suggested and upon trying to start it with your command, 
was shown the following:
