    vsftpd fails when I try to start it.

    I'm running CentOS 5.5 on a VM and I ran
    Code:
    yum install vsftpd* -y
    when I try to start the service it says FAILED

    I have not done anything with config files.

    Then you need to start with the vsftpd log.

    I had problems with this when SELinux was enabled. Temporarily disable it to see if that's the problem:

    Code:
    setenforce 0
