Unable to configure WHM on my server

[correctsearch]

I have a dedicated server with Fedora Core2 and cPanel. I have been using it for more than 2 years without any problem. Recently I have tried to upgrade mySQL from 4.0 to 4.1 and got error message for missing mySQL.sock file. Then I have decided to reformat and reinstall cPanel on my server.

My ISP has installed Fedora Core2 and cPanel on my server but I am unable to configure WHM l because I am getting following error message

"Unable to read /etc/quota.conf, permission denied"

It simply hangs on this page and can not move to next page.

Can someone help me resolve this issue?

What are the permissions and ownership on /etc/quota.conf?

first of all, don't use fedora2.

it's obsolete, there are no more updates.

The distro of choice for cpanel seems to be centos(4.3 at the moment), i would go with that.

Second, if you insist on fixing fc2, login to ssh and

touch /etc/quota.conf
happened to me a few times, the file wasn;t there at all.

just check for the file quota.conf and make sure that the partitions are mounted with quota enabled.

I have this issue also. But nothing seems to work that has been posted.

This seemed to fixed itself after I added a domain to the system and the drive that was having the issues.
