Falko! YOu are much needed!

Ok I am having such a hard time. I am not even sure if I have done every step right so far, but none the least I am on the MYSQL step.
When I paste the command, it tells me to place disk 2 in /dev/hdb, however my cdrom drive is /dev/hdc. so I am not able to install packages. What to do? I have made it this far, hate to quit now.

 

OK It is this step I am having trouble with. --> touch /aquota.user /aquota.group
chmod 600 /aquota.*
mount -o remount /
quotacheck -avugm
quotaon -avug

No permissions, says that it could damage a file, please turn quotas off?
quota for users is mountpoint so it may damage a file?????
syntax error??

I so missed something

I tried doing the step before and I got the message "Already installed"?

HELP!!!

 

[root@server1 admin]# urpmi quota
The package(s) are already installed
[root@server1 admin]# touch /aquota.user /aquota.group
touch: cannot touch `/aquota.user': Permission denied
touch: cannot touch `/aquota.group': Permission denied
[root@server1 admin]# chmod 600 /aquota.*
chmod: changing permissions of `/aquota.group': Operation not permitted
chmod: changing permissions of `/aquota.user': Operation not permitted
[root@server1 admin]# mount -o remount /
[root@server1 admin]# quotacheck -avugm
quotacheck: Quota for users is enabled on mountpoint / so quotacheck might damage the file.
Please turn quotas off or use -f to force checking.
[root@server1 admin]# quotaon -avug
quotaon: using //aquota.group on /dev/hda6 [/]: Device or resource busy
quotaon: using //aquota.user on /dev/hda6 [/]: Device or resource busy
[root@server1 admin]#


I am soo lost help!

 

It seems you logged in as admin, not as root. You must login as root to do these steps.
