Hi,

I want to edit visudo and include one user for running apache but when i type following command as a user”root”
visudo

i get following error…

P.S: I have tried to edit directly /etc/sudoers but it was not allowed.

Normal users is not having permission to execute “sudo” command..

you will have to do the following…

Login as a root
su root

password: XXXXX

su -

visudo

Add the following line in sudoers file…

# User privilege specification
root ALL=(ALL) ALL
rajesh ALL=(ALL) ALL –
This was added by me…

and then “rajesh” can execute any command with sudo

Rajesh
