Thank you dude,

You saved me much time.

I already do this type of installation 3 years ago, and it was really boring (i got all the time errors, because informations on the net was outdated).

I validate your tutoriel for Debian 6 Squeeze up to date at this time.

Thanks to your article, Marcus Povey, I could not find enough errors had other sources of documentation. Also so my students from IES RUIZ GIJON (UTRERA-SEVILLE-SPAIN) can enjoy this great tool ProFTPd

Hard to say what the cause would be without more information, I suggest running the server in debug mode and seeing what log messages you get.

Probably its trying to connect to your db server and failing somewhere, so check your connection string / password etc.

Marcus, many thanks, I am new to the whole UBUNTU thing but have managed to set up a fully virtulized server in just a few days with the notes from the ubuntu site, and a few well put together documents by third parties such as yourself.

Realy pleased with the result and the fantastic notes.

Thanks again
Sandy

Thanks Marcus

the offending item was the shell

cured with
ln -s /bin/bash /bin/sh

Can now crack on and get the thing configured.
Once again many thanks.

Hmm.. not sure, but it looks like it might be a repo problem rather than a pro-ftp problem…
