Hello, I have recently installed a Fedora Core 7 server on my system use 'The Perfect Server' HOWTO. In a second step I followed http://www.howtoforge.com/virtual_hosting_with_proftpd_and_mysql_fedora7 Now when I try to start proftp it FAILS. output of proftpd -td5 Checking syntax of configuration file - mod_tls/2.1.1: using OpenSSL 0.9.8b 04 May 2006 - mod_ctrls/0.9.4: binding ctrls socket to '/var/run/proftpd/proftpd.sock' - parsing '/etc/proftpd.conf' configuration - Fatal: unknown configuration directive 'WHERE' on line 145 of '/etc/proftpd.conf' content of proftp.conf # This is the ProFTPD configuration file # $Id: proftpd.conf,v 1.1 2004/02/26 17:54:30 thias Exp $ ServerName "ProFTPD server" ServerIdent on "FTP Server ready."

Could the root of the problem be that the modules needed for mysql are not loaded?

Please make sure that you put the SQL queries in one line instead of two. For example, Code: SQLNamedQuery get-quota-limit SELECT "name, quota_type, per_session, limit_type, bytes_in_avail, bytes_out_avail, bytes_xfer_avail, files_in_avail, files_out_avail, files_xfer_avail FROM ftpquotalimits WHERE name = '%{0}' AND quota_type = '%{1}'" should be Code: SQLNamedQuery get-quota-limit SELECT "name, quota_type, per_session, limit_type, bytes_in_avail, bytes_out_avail, bytes_xfer_avail, files_in_avail, files_out_avail, files_xfer_avail FROM ftpquotalimits WHERE name = '%{0}' AND quota_type = '%{1}'"
