Problem starting ProFTPD : No such file or directory

[bafforosso]

Hello,

I just downloaded XAMPP for Mac OS X 1.7.3 and installed it. When i start XAMPP, Apache and MySQL start but ProFTPD don't :

Code: Select all

sh-3.2# /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/xampp start
Starting XAMPP for Mac OS X 1.7.3...
XAMPP: Starting Apache...ok.
XAMPP: Starting MySQL...ok.
XAMPP: Starting ProFTPD.../Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/xampp: line 184: /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles//var/proftpd/start.err: No such file or directory
fail.
Contents of "/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles//var/proftpd/start.err":
cat: /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles//var/proftpd/start.err: No such file or directory


Does someone know where it comes from and what i should do?

Thanks,
Fred

sudo mkdir /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/var/proftpd/
touch /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/var/proftpd/start.err
sudo /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/xampp fix_rights


Code: Select all

$ sudo /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/xampp start
