Well pointing your favourite browser to www.proftpd.org and taking a look
at the documentation is always I good start.
Anyway please check in your proftpd.conf for the "ServerType" directive.
It should have the value "inetd" for running via (x)inetd and "standalone"
for the Proftpd standalone mode.
