Proftpd "Can't open PID file /run/proftpd/proftpd.pid (Yet?)"

Question

I'm currently running into the following error with my Proftpd install:

Can't open PID file /run/proftpd/proftpd.pid (yet?) after start: No such file or directory

However when I run ls /run/proftpd/ I'm presented with the following files, proftpd.delay proftpd.pid proftpd.scoreboard proftpd.scoreboard.lck proftpd.sock which proftpd.pid is definitely there.

I have tried a removing proftpd and reinstalling and it has resulted in the same error even with a fresh install.

I have also disabled SELinux as I saw online somewhere that could be causing the problem.

Any other ideas ?

The status output says it's running, what does it matter if it logs a message about not being able to open a file as part of startup if it's running properly afterwards? — hardillb, Jun 30 '22 at 21:42
