OKay another question

How do you edit or comment out... The tutorial asked me to do this
and im not sure how to comment it out... are there special key strokes?

We want MySQL to listen on all interfaces, not just localhost, therefore we edit /etc/mysql/my.cnf and comment out the line bind-address = 127.0.0.1:

vi /etc/mysql/my.cnf

[...]
# Instead of skip-networking the default is now to listen only on
# localhost which is more compatible and is not less secure.
#bind-address = 127.0.0.1
[...]

To comment out, add a # sign at the beginning of the line.

Example:
Code:
# Instead of skip-networking the default is now to listen only on
# localhost which is more compatible and is not less secure.
#bind-address = 127.0.0.1


Those 3 lines are commented out and the program ignores them when reading the configuration file.

okay got that thanks! how do i save the file though? once i enter in "vi /etc/mysql/my.cnf" it brings it up then I comment out that one line... then is says to restart mysql "/etc/init.d/mysql restart" but idk how to get out of that section and run that.

Im also getting alot of erroe saying that packages I want to install cant be installed ex

root@li65-162:~# apt-get install amavisd-new spamassassin clamav clamav-daemon zoo unzip bzip2 arj nomarch lzop cabextract apt-listchanges libnet-ldap-perl libauthen-sasl-perl clamav-docs daemon libio-string-perl libio-socket-ssl-perl libnet-ident-perl zip libnet-dns-perl
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package zoo is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package zoo has no installation candidate


am i doing something wrong?

Glad it worked out.

Just for your information, when you're following a tutorial and it tells you to install things and you get an error such as "Can't find package XXX" or "YYY has no install candidate", just remove the XXX or YYY from the command and try again. This usually happens when you don't have all the repositories enabled, or if there are subtle changes between software versions that the author of the tutorial overlooked. Nothing to worry about.
