PROFTPD Won't Start

Hello all, I am trying to start PROFTPD and get the following error;

Failed to start service :

  • Starting ftp server proftpd /usr/sbin/proftpd: error while loading shared libraries: libmemcached.so.10: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory ...fail!

I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 and am having a nightmare.. A quick search on this file yields no results, it doesn't exist on our systems. I'm not exactly adept with Ubuntu, but am getting there. This is a live and busy site too.

I'd appreciate any help offered, thank you very much in advance. regards Wonky

Howdy,

Hmm, I haven't run into an error like that before.

What is the output of this command:

dpkg -l 'proftpd*'

Howdy,

Yup, that looks like the correct package for Ubuntu 14.04!

Well, while I'm not certain what's causing that, perhaps a quick way around it would be to just install the library it says isn't there.

You can do that by running this command:

apt-get install libmemcached10
