I have installed proftpd on a Centos 7 machine.
This is the output of systemctl -l status proftpd:

giu 15 08:46:23 edmure.francescoruvolo.com systemd[1]: Started ProFTPD FTP Server.
All start, stop and restart commands work fine, without displaying any error.
I checked configuration with --testconfig and it does not display any error. Anyway, here is the complete proftpd.conf file, although I didn't changed any options, so it's weird that it's not working out of the box.
There are no logs in /var/log/proftpd/. /var/log/messages/ only show the same lines that systemctl status does.
There are no firewall rules:
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
Still, I'm unable to use netcat to connect on port 21, even from localhost. And netstat -tulpn | grep :21 does not show any output.
Here is the output of proftpd -V:

I'm lost and have no idea about how to further troubleshoot the problem. I have also removed and reinstalled the package, but it didn't change anything.
