    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
