You can do that in GUI mode, but you might get in trouble with some GUI editors that comaplain about permissions with some system config files. Better use the console!
Code: /dev/sda3 / ext3 acl,user_xattr,usrquota,grpquota 1 1/dev/sda1 /boot ext3 acl,user_xattr 1 2/dev/sda4 /var ext3 acl,user_xattr,usrquota,grpquota 1 2/dev/sda2 swap swap defaults 0 0proc /proc proc defaults 0 0sysfs /sys sysfs noauto 0 0usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs noauto 0 0devpts /dev/pts devpts mode=0620,gid=5 0 0/dev/dvdram /media/dvdram subfs noauto,fs=cdfss,ro,procuid,nosuid,nodev,exec,iocharset=utf8 0 0/dev/fd0 /media/floppy subfs noauto,fs=floppyfss,procuid,nodev,nosuid,sync 0 0 (-edit- sorry about that! i guess the code thing doesnt like me.heres the link ) sorry for the ultomate newb questions but im not exactly sure about what quota is and why it's used. is the only thing i edit just the part where i add usrquota and gsrquota? what about the part where you put /var should i put that on my other partition?
Quota is a limit for the space a user can use. E.g., you give a user a quota of 10 MB, then the user cannot use more than 10 MB. Yes. BTW, I hope your /etc/fstab has one line for each partition, not one line at all (because that's the way you posted it here). Don't understand the question.
i took a break but i want to try setting up the server again i lost my password. i'm silly i know. how do i recover it? or will i have to perform a reinstall?
root password i think lol i dont know any of them. i have the paper here that i thought was the password but it isnt working
If you do not want to reinstall your server, i recommend to use a Linux Boot CD like knoppix, then mount your server harddisk in knoppix. Then make the mounted partition your root with the chroot command and set a new password with the passwd command.
i'll just go through the setup again cause i will have to ask for help on that. i'll just go with what i know from this conversation and document my stuff better
im too much of a linux newb i'll just install apache on xp instead. and then strip it down so that it might run faster
