[nycbug-talk] Re: ProFTPd 1.2.9 on 4.10-RELEASE

Creating the directory /var/run/proftpd seemed to do the trick after
uninstalling it, reinstalling it, and undoing all the changes I originally
did trying to get it to work.  For anyone searching this archive trying to
figure out how to get it working, I did:

cd /usr/ports/ftp/proftpd
make install clean

~ watch the text scroll down ~

cp /usr/local/etc/proftpd.conf /usr/local/etc/proftpd.conf.original
edit /usr/local/etc/proftpd.conf
mkdir /var/run/proftpd
edit /usr/local/etc/rc/d/proftpd.sh to add:
ScoreboardFile=/var/run/proftpd.scoreboard

Then run the startup script:  /usr/local/etc/rc.d/proftpd.sh start

Bingo!
