In my root mail msg I see the following, which explains why I can't get ftp going. --------------------- proftpd-messages Begin ------------------------ **Unmatched Entries** rotor.byerlyelectric.com - Failed binding to 0.0.0.0, port 21: Address already i n use rotor.byerlyelectric.com - Check the ServerType directive to ensure you are conf igured correctly. How do I read this part? Is mysql listening on port 21? Next question is why if this is a normal ftp port? And how do 'unlisten'? pete [root@rotor rc.d]# netstat -an | grep 21 tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:21 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN unix 2 [ ACC ] STREAM LISTENING 2165 /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock unix 2 [ ACC ] STREAM LISTENING 1346054 /tmp/orbit-pete/orb-187867722102359162 unix 2 [ ACC ] STREAM LISTENING 1346091 /tmp/orbit-pete/orb-21285196501929031233 unix 3 [ ] STREAM CONNECTED 1346713 /tmp/orbit-pete/orb-187867722102359162 unix 3 [ ] STREAM CONNECTED 1346105 /tmp/orbit-pete/orb-21285196501929031233 unix 3 [ ] STREAM CONNECTED 1346078 /tmp/orbit-pete/orb-187867722102359162 unix 3 [ ] STREAM CONNECTED 772212 /tmp/.font-unix/fs7100 unix 3 [ ] STREAM CONNECTED 772211 unix 3 [ ] STREAM CONNECTED 772213 /tmp/.X11-unix/X0 unix 2 [ ] DGRAM 2174 [root@rotor rc.d]#
