Topic: Proftpd issues with scoreboard and allowchmod directive

[mapango_joe]

Hello All.  I have SME 5.6 running on a production server.  After installing the updates I noticed FTP servise would not start.  I narrowed it to two things.  In the /etc/proftpd.conf file I must comment out the AllowChmod statement and add a ScoreboardFile /var/run/proftpd/scoreboard directive.  Doing this "hack" gets things going, but occasionally (when it gets rebooted I think) it returns to the non functioning state.  I then have to log back in and make the proftpd.conf changes, and recreate the scoreboard file.      

I have searched the forums and not seen the exact same issue, I would speak lovingly of anyone who can offer some devine guidance.

I have the same problem...but after adding the ScoreboardFile          /var/run/proftpd/scoreboard

I get the following error:

Starting proftpd: myserver- fatal: Socket operation on non-socket
