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
[root@ ~]# Starting proftpd: [ OK ]
My advise stay /w Centos 6.5!

=====================================================
Using Centos 7 X64 /w VestaCP Version:0.9.8 (x86_64)Release:15
Followed Documentation - How to replace vsftpd with ProFTPD on a RHEL or CentOS
However after cannot start proftpd server
Error :
Redirecting to /bin/systemctl start proftpd.service
Job for proftpd.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status proftpd.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

I guess you are missing some file.

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

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.
