Here is vsftpd.conf,and it works well other linux machines(centos) but this one?Any help would be appreciated..

local_enable=YES
#
# Uncomment this to enable any form of FTP write command.
write_enable=YES

It is problem about file's owner. U should set correct owner for config /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf
sudo chown root /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf
