vsftp will not start

Hello forum,

   I have having a problem getting vsftp to start. I have listed the output of some diagnostic commands in hope that someone can see something that will help me...

systemctl | grep vsftp

* vsftpd.service                                                                               loaded failed failed    vsftpd daemon

systemctl status vsftpd
