Issue with ProFTPD on CentOS with Virtualmin

Posted on May 18, 2014

I installed Virtualmin and CentOS 6.5 32bit on a droplet. I tried to start ProFTPD, but always it return error “Starting proftpd: [FAILED]”. As I know when Virtualmin was installed, all this service should be working fine.

This is return of commands:

proftpd --configtest Checking syntax of configuration file

  • warning: unable to determine IP address of ‘samac’
  • error: no valid servers configured
  • Fatal: error processing configuration file ‘/etc/proftpd.conf’
