Hey,

I get these errors when trying to start proftpd in Debian 3.1.

vhcs1:~# /etc/init.d/proftpd start
Starting ProFTPD ftp daemon: - getaddrinfo 'vhcs1.a2host.net' error: Temporary failure in name resolution
- warning: unable to determine IP address of 'vhcs1.a2host.net'
- error: no valid servers configured
- Fatal: error processing configuration file '/etc/proftpd.conf'
.

Not sure whats wrong :S Any way i can fix this?

Thanks,
Richard.

Hi, your hostname isn't a valid internet host. contact support and we can change it for you and/or suggest a working hostname.
