There is a reason its not restarting properly for some reason. You need to look at logs including:

/var/log/messages
/var/log/directadmin/error.log
/var/log/directadmin/system.log

Once you know what is causing the problem you can then begin to fixing it.

You can't tail logs unless you're root.

Try starting it from the command line to see what errors you get, or look in /var/log/messages for an error message.

If proftpd is being started from either inetd or from xinetd, then set DirectAdmin to no longer monitor it.

yeah but i dont know where that is

i have found how to stop the entire monitoring but where can i only turn off the proftpd monitoring ?

thanks

Edit the file /usr/local/directadmin/data/admin/services.status

Change the proftpd=ON to proftpd=OFF
