Topic : root access

Posted By: pgangluff on January 26, 2015, 8:37 pm

I'm running webuzo on an Amazon ec2 instance and I cannot edit my exim.conf file because I do not have permission to access it.

I have two users on my system, the user that was created when webuzo was installed and another user called "ec2-user".

My user does not have root access, and "sudo" does not work.

I do not have the password to the "ec2-user" or to "root". I did the "change root password" option on the control panel and it did nothing. The password I chose does not work.

How to I get root access or edit this file another way?

Hi,

You can user the key-pair associated with the instance and login using the "ec2-user" user
The "ec2-user" is added to the sudoers list.

Hope this helps
