Centos: VSFTPD not Starting

favorite

I have a minimal install of Centos in VirtualBox. I want to run a ftp service to share files between the host and my VM, and then learn about ftp servers.

I installed vsftpd and changed the vsftpd.conf file as bellow:

anonymous_enable=NO 

local_enable=YES 

write_enable=YES 

local_umask=O22 

dirmessage_enable=YES 

xferlog_enable=YES 

connect_from_port 2O=YES 

xferlog_std format=YES 

chroot_local_user=YES 

listen_ipv6=YES 

pam_service_name=vsftpd 

userlist_enable=YES 

tcp_wrappers=YES

But, when I type service vsftpd start I get the following error:

Job for vsftpd.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status vsftpd.service" and journalctl -xe" for details.

Is this issue happening due of a wrong config as showed above, or is it something else?
What can I do to start my ftp server?

Thanks!

You have a space between xferlog_std and format=YES according to the configuration you supplied.

Also, you might wish to compare with a working configuration:

    $ sudo cat /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf | grep -v "#"

anonymous_enable=YES

local_enable=YES

write_enable=YES

local_umask=022

anon_upload_enable=YES

anon_mkdir_write_enable=YES

dirmessage_enable=YES

xferlog_enable=YES

connect_from_port_20=YES

chown_uploads=YES

chown_username=abdullah

xferlog_std_format=YES

chroot_local_user=YES

listen=NO

listen_ipv6=YES



pam_service_name=vsftpd

userlist_enable=YES

tcp_wrappers=YES

Similaryly, there's a space (and a capital "O", not zero "0") in connect_from_port 2O=YES; it should be connect_from_port_20=YES.

Man, in the mean time I replaced the vsftpd.conf for the original one, and it worked... The problem was the config file... The space you said, was only a typo, because I couldn't copy and paste from my VM machine

In my case I have another process on TCP 21.

$ netstat -nalp | grep 21

I saw xinetd on the port at this time. Vfstpd successfully starts after stoppping it.

$ service stop xinetd
