I have a 11.04 x86 server.
I ran sudo apt-get install vsftpd and that was successful. But I cannot find the vsftpd.conf file anywhere. I thought it was supposed to be in /etc/vsftpd.conf.

You've a weird issue, try clearing you cache, update your repository information and install it again:
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install --reinstall vsftpd
If this did not work, purge vsftpd (remove it including its configuration files) and reinstall it:
sudo apt-get purge vsftpd
sudo apt-get install vsftpd

It sounds like the installation didn't complete successfully. The quickest solution is probably going to be to reinstall vsftpd:
sudo apt-get install --reinstall vsftpd

Late to the party bu hope what I discovered is useful.
The file is not there after install. However
/etc/vstftd.conf
will be created after starting up the server.
It's installed with
sudo apt-get install vsftpd
and started with
sudo systemctl start vsftpd.service
This should do the job.

If you cannot find the vsftpd.conf under /etc/vstftd.conf, then you need to start vsftpd at least once.
This will create the config file afterwards
sudo systemctl start vsftpd.service
ls -lahG /etc

I had this problem too. When I observed the installation log carefully, it turned out that the installation was stopping before re-installing the directory "srv/ftp". I deleted the directory ftp from /srv so that /srv was empty. Then I reinstalled and had my original vsftpd.conf script replaced in /etc/vsftpd.conf.

try this command :
sudo find . -type f -name vsftpd.conf|grep vsftpd.conf
it should find the file in ./etc/
if the file is not there, then try following command :
sudo apt-get install --reinstall vsftpd
and then the find again -
