Hi,
I installed wordpress using the following directions:
I got all the way though and am now trying to login by FTP. I completed the FTP install section as given and am now getting the following message when I try to login:
Connection refused
I tried with various clients, including ftp through my mac (terminal) - same response.
One thing I did do was install memcached - not sure whether that’s related in any way.
I also restarted the server.

Is ProFTPd running? <br> <br><pre>service proftpd start <br>netstat -plutn | grep :21</pre>
Got a similar problem here and figured it out this way :
Check in your /var/log/proftpd/proftpd.log.1
or /var/log/proftpd/proftpd.log
If you’ve got this message : ProFTPD killed (signal 15)
You have the same problem… ProFTPD seems to fail restart on log rotate (I got no explaination on this).
Hope it’ll help.
@amkause: What’s the output of this command? <br> <br><pre>proftpd --configtest</pre>
Hi Kamal, <br> <br>I have the same problem, my FTP Service will not start: <br> <br>[root@hosting init.d]# service proftpd start <br>Starting proftpd: [FAILED] <br> <br>[root@hosting init.d]# sudo /etc/init.d/proftpd check-config <br>Usage: proftpd {start|stop|restart|try-restart|reload|status} <br>
Edit <code>/etc/proftpd/modules.conf</code> and comment <code>LoadModule mod_tls_memcache.c</code> out. Restart ProFTPd, does it work now?
hmm…I had a feeling that it was related to memcached… <br> <br>root@aaaaa:~# sudo /etc/init.d/proftpd check-config <br>aaaaa proftpd[1408]: mod_tls/2.4.3: compiled using OpenSSL version ‘OpenSSL 1.0.1 14 Mar 2012’ headers, but linked to OpenSSL version ‘OpenSSL 1.0.1c 10 May 2012’ library <br>aaaaa proftpd[1408]: mod_sftp/0.9.8: compiled using OpenSSL version ‘OpenSSL 1.0.1 14 Mar 2012’ headers, but linked to OpenSSL version ‘OpenSSL 1.0.1c 10 May 2012’ library <br>aaaaa proftpd[1408]: mod_tls_memcache/0.1: notice: unable to register ‘memcache’ SSL session cache: Memcache support not enable <br> <br>Your second command produced output that included both openssl and memcache… <br> <br>root@aaaaa:~# sudo /etc/init.d/proftpd force-start <br> * Starting ftp server proftpd aaaaa proftpd[1427]: mod_tls/2.4.3: compiled using OpenSSL version ‘OpenSSL 1.0.1 14 Mar 2012’ headers, but linked to OpenSSL version ‘OpenSSL 1.0.1c 10 May 2012’ library <br>aaaaa proftpd[1427]: mod_sftp/0.9.8: compiled using OpenSSL version ‘OpenSSL 1.0.1 14 Mar 2012’ headers, but linked to OpenSSL version ‘OpenSSL 1.0.1c 10 May 2012’ library <br>aaaaa proftpd[1427]: mod_tls_memcache/0.1: notice: unable to register ‘memcache’ SSL session cache: Memcache support not enabled <br>aaaaa proftpd[1427] 192.254.189.222: fatal: Socket operation on non-socket <br> <br>Note that I replaced my hostname with aaaaa (the name is a little nsfw) <br>
What’s the output of these commands: <br> <br><pre>sudo /etc/init.d/proftpd check-config <br>sudo /etc/init.d/proftpd force-start</pre>
Thanks Kamal - <br> <br>I get the following message to the first command: <br> <br>ProFTPD warning: cannot start neither in standalone nor in inetd/xinetd mode. Check your configuration. <br> <br>The second command does not produce any output. I tried netstat without grep and see apache2, sshd, sendmail and mysqld listening on various ports
