I’m getting this error when I try to start it.
Failed to start service :
Starting ftp server: proftpd - warning: unable to determine IP address of ‘srv.modjolt.com’

  • error: no valid servers configured
  • Fatal: error processing configuration file ‘/etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf’
    failed!

I got it. I just changed my hostname from localhost to srv.mydomain.com and added the srv record to my domain registrars DNS pointing to my main IP.
