Thank’s for your reply. We figured out our problem. We updated root mysql password from pureftpd-mysql.conf conf file. And that’s works.

If the file /etc/ftpusers doesn’t exist, create one with this inside for example:

# /etc/ftpusers: list of users disallowed FTP access.
root
daemon
bin
sys
sync
games
man
lp
mail
news
uucp
proxy
majordom
postgres
www-data
backup
msql
operator
list
irc
nobody
