This final instruction worked. Still wondering why it shows as an error still after checking it status using the 'service' command, however, the 500 OOPS error is gone and this is the recommended way to run, as its own listener, anyway.

You have to decide: either you let xinetd control the FTP server or let run it standalone. If you choose to configure vsftp.conf to configure standalone mode, then disable it under /etc/xinetd.d/.
