Start ProFTPD on Debian Wheezy boot

Question

I've installed ProFTPD on Debian Wheezy and everything works fine, except it won't start up on boot.

I've tried the following after a lot of Googling:

update-rc.d proftpd defaults
insserv proftpd
ln -s /etc/init.d/proftpd /etc/rc5.d/

Nothing works.

Just type these commands :

update-rc.d proftpd remove

update-rc.d proftpd defaults

It worked for me !

it's always better to explain why did it work (especially when one of the commands involves removal of something) – timbre timbre May 15 '16 at 19:16

In some setups you have to set RUN=yes in /etc/default/proftpd manually in order run this service at boot.
