Unable to start proftpd server

[nik]

OK Found Problem - Centos 7 x64
Reinstall VPS /w Centos 6.5
[root@]# 2015-12-16 19:45:32 (200 MB/s) - “/etc/proftpd.conf” saved [963/963]
[root@~]# [root@~]# sed -i "s/vsftpd/proftpd/" /usr/local/vesta/conf/vesta.conf
[root@ ~]# [root@ ~]# chkconfig proftpd on
[root@~]# [root@~]# service proftpd start

My advise stay /w Centos 6.5!

Error :
Redirecting to /bin/systemctl start proftpd.service

I guess you are missing some file.

'mod_vroot.c': No such file or directory on line 1 of '/etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf'

[elysiumservers]

Of course he is missing some file !!

the mod-vroot module is no longer provided on debian and the tutorial keeps asking to install this file.

Either you update the tutorials to reflect how to properly configure proftpd on debian or you delete the entry, because, as it is now, there is no way to make it work.
