PROFTPD - dead

[monstermedia]

out of a sudden proftpd stoped to work... (after I add a few domains - but not any ftp account)

when tried manually restart.... this is error:

Code:

/etc/init.d/proftpd restart
Stopping ftp server: proftpd.
Starting ftp server: proftpd - error: /var/log/proftpd is a world writeable directory
- mod_ctrls/0.9.4: unable to open ControlsLog '/var/log/proftpd/controls.log': containing directory is world writable
- Fatal: ControlsLog: unable to log to a world-writable directory on line 168 of '/etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf'
failed!

what has happend?? server was working properly about two weeks....

yes... done... and another one....

Code:

Stopping ftp server: proftpd.
Starting ftp server: proftpd - Fatal: SQLMinUserUID: requires a numeric argument on line 183 of '/etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf'
failed!

I FIXED conf file, but... still:

Code:

proftpd - error: cannot read configuration path '/etc/proftpd/ispcp'
- Fatal: Include: error including '/etc/proftpd/ispcp/*': ZĹy argument on line 228 of '/etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf'
failed!

don't have such directory ispcp in /etc/proftpd ... how to regenerate IT /??/ especially I wondering what file where in IT ?? because when I mkdir proftpd start normally now... but what the files where in ISPCP directory??

I don't recall there ever being any additional files needed. You could probably comment out that directory include in proftpd.conf without any negative consequences.

Edit: This is incorrect, as sci2tech points out.

Do not comment it! Just make that directory

Code:

mkdir /etc/proftpd/ispcp

. Else engine will fail to add new domains / subdomains

I checked my server, and that directory is used (although I only see one file in there for 16 domains existing). My previous remark is thus incorrect. Sorry.
