This seems to be a problem with PureFTPd (the server) and not
PureAdmin (the GUI). These are two separate projects, but I'll try to
help you anyway.

What distribution are you running? What version?

I don't know either. Did you try to connect to the ftp server? Maybe
it's running. It looks like you have something wrong in you FTP
configuration, but I can't say without knowing what distribution you
are running and how you configured your server.
