i got a new server from a good provider with Cpanel.

Do you know how to run the updatedb?

"Permission denied"

You logged in as root?

now, i can see it but i don't know how to create this database

su -

updatedb

Yup, you just type (as root) "updatedb" at the console/in a telnet/ssh session (I hope you're not running telnet, though) -- be prepared to wait for quite a while when running updatedb, particularly if you have a lot of stuff on the server.

why not? i love telnet! and it works fine! ... no lag, no nothing ... just good, plain ol' telnet :D ;)
anyway ... if the updatedb command doesn't work (as on my OpenBSD box), just execute a find / | grep updatedb copy the path and then cd to /usr/sbin.
make a symbolic link: ln -s /path/to/updatedb symboliclinkname (e.g. updatedb)
and whoops. we're done :)

greets,

telnet is not secure though

SSH > telnet

(unless you were being sarcastic, in which case excuse me, I havent had any coffee yet so I am still not awake)

lol :D
well it was meant sarcastic. anyone who still uses telnet is, imho, a big idiot! ;)

Hehe, I wasn't sure if you were kidding or not. (But yeah, telnet sends your username/password in cleartext, so anyone with a packet sniffer could read 'em.)

I was just thinking... I have a gazillion accounts on random computers, and not a single one is running telnet anymore. I wonder how many people still run telnet...

well ... no one's running telnet anymore, but everyone's still running ftp! (shame on me ... as i do too) quite the same as telnet.

sftp works well.......
