After updating pure-ftpd to 1.0.16a start and stop don't work anymore. The stop script fail and on a new start it gives a warning pure-ftpd alreaddy is started, a status run also show it's started, but it's not. Infact, even a complete #emerge -C pure-ftpd #emerge clean #emerge pure-ftpd gives the same result. The reason are those 2 softlinks in the filesystem /var/lib/init.d/started/pure-ftpd /var/lib/init.d/softscripts/pure-ftpd hanging around for some reason and not handled properly by the start|stop script. Removing them manually solve the issue though. I thought this should be noted in case anyone else run into the same problem. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
Most likely what happened is you upgraded pure-ftpd while it was running. /etc/init.d/pure-ftpd stop /etc/init.d/pure-ftpd zap /etc/init.d/pure-ftpd start You should have no further problems after doing that.
ok works, thanks
