You are trying to restart your server… and your FTP fails to start… or restart.
/scripts/restartsrv_pureftpd Waiting for “pureftpd” to restart ………warn [restartsrv_base] The 'pureftpd' service's PID file '/var/run/pure-ftpd.pid' did not appear after 10 sec. …warn [restartsrv_base] The 'pureftpd' service's PID file '/var/run/pure-ftpd.pid' did not appear after 10 seconds. Service Error The “pureftpd” service failed to start. Startup Log Starting pure-config.pl: [ OK ] Starting pure-authd: pureftpd has failed. Contact your system administrator if the service does not automagically recover.
The reason for this error is that Pure-FTPD service doesn’t work with {CallUploadScript} set to (yes) in /etc/pure-ftpd.conf configuration file. That is because the pure-uploadscript service is not getting started while restarting the pure-ftpd service.
Run the following command via SSH to fix this issue:
/usr/sbin/pure-uploadscript -B -r /etc/pure-ftpd.conf
Restart the service :
/scripts/setupftpserver pure-ftpd -force
And your service will restart successfully.
