proftpd DOWN?

[joximu]

I'm absolutely not known to redhat and here we need some better knowledge of the OS and the packages.

It's importand that the needed packages are installed to use mysql in proftpd - in suse (also rpm/yum based) it's called "proftpd-sql-mysql". This is needed.
then you have to make sure, the mysql modules is loaded in proftpd. Instead of including a module file, you also can use theese two lines at the beginning

LoadModule mod_sql.c
LoadModule mod_sql_mysql.c

We need a Redhat supporter.
