pure-authd (/usr/sbin/pure-authd -s /var/run/ftpd.sock -r /usr/sbin/pureauth) running as root with PID

While trying to restart FTP via WHM we are getting the error :

pure-authd (/usr/sbin/pure-authd -s /var/run/ftpd.sock -r /usr/sbin/pureauth) running as root with PID

Login to WHM >> Manage Service SSL Certificates >>Reset the FTP SSL certificate.

Try restarting FTP, It should work.

After that make sure to run:

/scripts/upcp –force

If that doesn’t work then do the following:

cd /var/lib/rpm/

rm -f __db.* 

rpm -vv –rebuilddb
