Erik Andersson (eandersson1) wrote : Unable to start vsftpd on Ubuntu 14.04 (Amazon/EC2) with default configuration

The configuration submitted was modified during testing, but this also failed with the default configuration. The only solution I have found so far was to delete the configuration, this would allow the service to start, but obviously not work as intended.

If I try to start the service manually using vsftpd or sudo vsftpd I receive the following error message:
500 OOPS: munmap

I also tried the default commands
/etc/init.d/vsftpd or service vsftpd start
