In Centos 7.4 minimal, proFTPD package is not avaible that’s why you are facing proFTPD issue when you install Sentora in Centos 7.4.
when you try to install sentora in centos 7.4 then you get this following error
-- Installing ProFTPD Error: Nothing to do Failed to execute operation: No such file or directory Failed to start proftpd.service: Unit not found.
because ProFTPD package is not available in your Repo file. So you need to install 1st proFTPD package from EPEL (Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux) on fresh Centos machine.
Follow below the steps to download proftpd package:
- Login your server with root access
- Install EPEL
yum install epel-release
Then
yum install proftpd
- Check proftpd package with below command
yum info proftpd
Now you can install sentora on centos 7.4 without any error:
Download the Sentora:
wget http://sentora.org/install
Make the Sentora installation script executable :
chmod +x install
Now execute the Sentora installation script :
./install
Congratulations!!! Now Sentora has been installed on your
Server without any issue.

It appears that package proftpd is already installed. This installer
is designed to install and configure Sentora on a clean OS installation only!
Please re-install your OS before attempting to install using this script.

No Karma, it’s means proftpd is not available in CentOS 7.4 that’s why we need to install proftpd 1st and after that we can install and configure Sentora easily.

is designed to install and configure Sentora on a clean OS installation only!
Please re-install your OS before attempting to install using this script.”

I was with the same problem, so it happened to me just like Karma said above.
What worked was to yum install epel-release -y only, and then install sentora, it worked just fine.
Thanks for your help.
