I have tried solutions presented in the following posts:
https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/364529/centos-vsftpd-not-starting/364555
https://superuser.com/questions/987912/why-my-vsftp-service-cant-start
I am trying to set up a new FTP user from the server terminal. I just got the site up with a basic index.html, which is great! But need much more than that.
Running systemctl restart vsftpd returns this message:
Job for vsftpd.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status vsftpd.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.
Here is the result of systemctl status -l vsftpd.service

Thinking I must have botched the vsftpd.conf file, I cloned this version of the original from github. However, it still throws the same error.
Before I messed with any settings, I was able to access with FileZilla on both an anonymous and a local user. Now I can not.
Here is the output of cat vsftpd.conf | grep -v "#" (these are the defaults given in the github link above):
anonymous_enable=YES
dirmessage_enable=YES
xferlog_enable=YES
connect_from_port_20=YES
listen=YES
Any suggestions?
