Proftpd + Proftpd admin (.conf and SQL problems)
I started playing around with a linux server a few weeks ago and have faced almost all the noob problems associated with learning a new OS. I've tried to learn as much about the basics before coming here to ask questions so I can ask semi-coherent questions as well as understand the reply

Anyways...The problem:
I've been using ProFTPd with semi-OK success for the last week and have decided I want a web based admin. (Proftpd admin).
After setting up the sql tables, copying files, etc. I backed up my proftpd.conf and popped in the proftpd-admin version of the .conf file into the proper place (/etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf). When I do this and try to restart the server I get an error:
HIC001:~# /etc/init.d/proftpd restart
Stopping ftp server: proftpd.
Starting ftp server: proftpd - Fatal: unknown configuration directive 'SQLLogFile' on line 36 of '/etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf'
failed!
When this line is hashed out I get another error:
HIC001:~# /etc/init.d/proftpd restart
Stopping ftp server: proftpd.
Starting ftp server: proftpd - Fatal: unknown configuration directive 'SQLAuthTypes' on line 41 of '/etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf'
failed!
I have continued hashing out every error in hopes of getting the server running on the proftpd-admin configuration file with no luck. In the mean time I've restored the backed up original and am using proFTPd sans web GUI.
More info that might be useful:
-In the proftpd webgui I can add users, groups, etc. but this has no effect on the server as its still showing up as "0 Server down"
-Server info (Collected from ProFTPd Admin status page... very useful
):
HTTP Server: Apache/2.2.3 (Debian) PHP 5.2.3-1+b1
MySQL server: 5.0.32-Debian_7etch1-log
PHP version: 5.2.3-1+b1
Zend PHP Engine 2.2.0
Web-interface: 1.2
Any help would be most appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
