Topic: Upgraded proftpd freshrpm,...now broke?

[Gary]

I updated my proftpd with the rpm from freshrpms.  
I installed it, did a
[root@io files]# rpm -Uvh e-smith-proftpd-1.8.0-01.noarch.rpm --force
Preparing...                ########################################### [100%]
   1:e-smith-proftpd        ########################################### [100%]

[root@io files]# /sbin/e-smith/expand-template /etc/proftpd.conf

then


[root@io files]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/proftpd restart
Shutting down proftpd: [ FAILED ]
Starting proftpd: [   OK   ]


it does this everytime I restart proftpd, and I now cannot ftp into my site.

Did I miss a step?

To my knowledge proftpd starts from xinetd when a user tries to connect. So I would try to connect to it and see if it works.

Oops...you're right, i don't need to restart it....but it Still does not work at all.

I don't understand whats wrong....maybe there is a template I need to expand?
