Hi,
I am unable to get proftpd to work. I followed the instructions at https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-proftpd-on-ubuntu-12-04
When I try to start or restart the service for proftpd I get " <pre>
sudo: unable to resolve host wptest start: unrecognized service
</pre>. Following “tail /var/log/proftpd/proftpd.log” shows below: <pre>
2014-06-20 18:44:18,464 wptest proftpd[2131] wptest: ProFTPD 1.3.5rc3 (devel) (built Fri Dec 20 2013 18:05:41 UTC) standalone mode STARTUP 2014-06-20 18:48:29,142 wptest proftpd[2131] wptest: ProFTPD killed (signal 15) 2014-06-20 18:48:29,145 wptest proftpd[2131] wptest: ProFTPD 1.3.5rc3 standalone mode SHUTDOWN

Thanks! Paresh

Are you sure your current host is set to “wptest”? Did you tried to reinstall the service?
How are you trying to start it? It should be: <pre> sudo service proftpd restart </pre>
