When typing in the following... Code: sudo /etc/init.d/proftpd start I get this message... Code: ProFTPd warning: cannot start neither in standalone nor in inetd/xinetd mode. Check your configuration. help... (etc/hosts) Code: 127.0.0.1 localhost 192.168.0.100 ocram # The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts ::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback fe00::0 ip6-localnet ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix ff02::1 ip6-allnodes ff02::2 ip6-allrouters ff02::3 ip6-allhosts I am not sure what else I need to configure... **EDIT** I figured out what the issue was...and this is what I did! First changed the "Server Type" from "inetd" to "standalone" in the proftpd.conf file. tried to start/restart started receiving the error that it Fails on start. checked the /etc/hosts file and updated it to the following: Code: 127.0.0.1 localhost 192.168.0.100 ocram # The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts ::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback [B][I]ocram[/I][/B] fe00::0 ip6-localnet ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix ff02::1 ip6-allnodes ff02::2 ip6-allrouters ff02::3 ip6-allhosts
