[CentOS] Re: "vsftpd is dead but subsys is locked"

I figured it out folks. Thank you for the help. It ends up that in the vsftpd.conf file the IP address was hard coded and I recently changed IP, causing it to kill the process right as it started.

If someone could give advice - I am running Centos 4 and on it I am running among other things vsftpd. Today I noticed the ftp services wasn't running, when I went to restart it it says it starts, but there is no pid for it. when I do a status on it, it gives a message saying "vsftpd is dead but subsys is locked" I have tried removing the lock file and no joy. I even just resorted to a reboot hoping that would clear the issue and to no avail
