Description Joakim 2003-09-07 13:34:53 UTC

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.

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.
