Pastebin your error log.
@NHNahian where can i find the error log (path)?
Should be /var/log/vsftpd.log ?
i find it but it was empty
Do you get any error when you restart vsftp?
i got nothing, the .log file doesn´t updates after i restart vsftpd...
Check /var/log/syslog for any errors
my syslog:

@NHNahian i used Proftpd for some hours ago, but now i have removed it and i installed vsftpd instead of proftpd.
My favorite troubleshooting option, try restarting your vps.
netstat -an | grep 21Anything already listening on port 21?
#nopriv_user=ftpsecure
The above doesn't have anything to do with your problem, but you should not be running vsftpd as root -- I would highly recommend running as unprivileged user.
Take out archives which is sitting net to write_enable
Depending on how you removed it, proftpd may still be running.
netstat -ltn
to see listening tcp servers.
ps aux
to see current processes.
If something is listening on port 21 -- proftpd in the process list? -- kill it off:
killall proftpd
Then try starting vsftpd.
If you still have no joy then there's something bad in your vsftpd.com file.
this
@Microlinux
nothing showing up when i type: netstat -an | grep 21
@sleddog
nothing listening on port 21 when i type netstat -ltn and ps aux.
Proftpd is not in the list also.
Start vsftpd manually from shell and see what it tells. Supply config path, debug/verbose level if possible (man vsftpd).
@nstorm
I got follow when i start vsftpd from shell using the service proftpd start command:
Starting FTP server: vsftpdAfter that i try to connect to the ftp using port 21 but it doesn´t work.
I type in service vsftpd status and it says that vsftpd is not running.
What do mean with config path, debug/verbose level i don´t understand it?
@johanc if you need help send me a PM this is peanuts
I hope that is just a typo.
You start it without service scripts. Just run vstftpd from shell to get its output direcly to the console.
@natestamm
If this is peanuts, please post the solution
