(-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

 

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
