vsftpd won't connect

Hi:

I successfully have the service "vsftpd" started. Here's the weird thing. First, I can't connect to the FTP at all. If I try to restart vsftpd, it says:

Stopping vsftp: [FAILED]
Starting vsftpd: [ok]

If I try to stop it, it fails. If I try to connect doing:

ftp localhost

I got the output of

Code:
[root@coopercentral root]# ftp localhost
Connected to localhost (127.0.0.1).
500 OOPS: could not bind listening socket
ftp> quit
[root@coopercentral root]#


Why doesn't this work? How can I enable FTP to work again? Thanks for your help, I really appreciate it!!!

Ken Cooper

ok, from what I've heard ProFTPd is better than vsftpd, so I'm deciding to change to there. But here's, my question, if I totally get rid of the vsftpd service, I go here:

Code:
nmap localhost


and one of the choices is: 21/tcp ftp

I don't have vsftpd running, yet 21 is still open to ftp. Does that mean that another FTP program is running? Is there anything that could be running? I just had vsftpd running, that's it. I don't have any other FTP server running as far as I know. Thanks for your help!!!

try this..

check the config file /etc/vsftpd.conf
try to find int the file the attribute
listen=YES
comment it by putting # or simply remove that line..
then try restarting your xinetd service by typing

service vsftpd restart
