vsftpd not running

[slinx]

Error message:

/usr/local/etc/rc.d/vsftpd: ERROR: vsftpd script need "background=YES" in config file

check in /usr/local/etc/vsftpd.conf - background=YES already exist and uncomment.

How can I solve the problem that vsftpd is not running?

If you want to run vsftpd in standalone mode, you must have this lines in /usr/local/etc/vsftpd.conf:

listen=YES
background=YES

Then:

# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/vsftpd start

Thanks @bkouhi, I add background=YES under listen=YES:

# When "listen" directive is enabled, vsftpd runs in standalone mode and
# listens on IPv4 sockets. This directive cannot be used in conjunction
# with the listen_ipv6 directive.
listen=YES
background=YES
