I did some searching on Google and I found the solution; a >>scoreboard file has to be created. Hi Michael, I just installed 1.2.10 from ports last night on 5.3Beta3. I had the same problem. Server wouldn't start because the scoreboard file didn't exist. The problem was proftpd wanted the scoreboard file to be /var/run/proftpd/proftpd.scoreboard, but the directory /var/run/proftpd did not exist. I don't know what else might live in that profptd directory, but on my install right now it is only the scoreboard file. This makes me wonder whether it should just live in /var/run/ with proftpd's pid file? - Sam Nilsson
