    Hello, I have a problem related with the Howto tutorial about how to setup a virtual hosting with pureftp and mysql on fedora 7. The Pureftpd just won't start after I followed the step 6 of the tutorial. I have no problem when logging into the Mysql ftp account that i just created. Please.. Somebody help me!

    Code:
    [sabahbox@localhost sbin]$ su -
    Password: 
    [root@localhost ~]# chkconfig --levels 235 pure-ftpd on
    [root@localhost ~]# /etc/init.d/pure-ftpd start
    Starting pure-ftpd:                                        [FAILED]
    [root@localhost ~]#

    Are there any errors in your log files?

    Sorry, newbie here. Where is the log file located? I've been looking for pureftpd.log in the /var/log directory but it doesn't seems to be exist.

    Take a look at all log files in the /var/log directory, especially /var/log/messages or /var/log/syslog.
