starting vsftpd

[Sirrius]

I am trying to start vsftpd server by typing /etc/init.d/vsftpd start.

All I get is some message stating

500 OOPS: cannot open config file:start

What is going on? My vsftpd.conf is in /etc

Help.

Thanks.

your conf file should be at /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf

Okay, It seems it is running. At least I see it when I run ps aux.
But it seems to start differently then explained on the web.

On the website, it told me to run the command '/etc/init.d/vsftpd start'
this caused an error..
"500 OOPS: cannot open config file:start"

I then ran the command '/usr/sbin/vsftpd &' and seems to start up.
What's the difference?

Thanks.
