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>
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
