Press ctrl-c in the next 3 seconds if you need to stop
Installation didn't pass, halting install.

Ok, i totally missread the output.

Is just a notice

He say, ok you got /var mounted.. be sure is 6+GB space.. your is 20GB so no worries, also, if you use dovecot the mail will be stored in user's own home directory (/home) so.. seems to be ok...

Regards

:) yes but the worst thing is that i can't continue with the install because it says that i do not have 6 gig or larger ? what can i do
 
Code:
*** cannot find /usr/sbin/setquota. Please make sure that quota is installed (yum install quota) ***
*** You have /var partition.  The databases, emails and logs will use this partition. *MAKE SURE* its adequately large (6 gig or larger)
Press ctrl-c in the next 3 seconds if you need to stop
Installation didn't pass, halting install.
Once requirements are met, run the following to continue the install:
  cd /usr/local/directadmin/scripts
  ./install.sh

This is very strange i have to say
 
*** cannot find /usr/sbin/setquota. Please make sure that quota is installed (yum install quota) ***


this is why it block...

run

yum install quota

than edit /etc/fstab for /home and / partition and add to them usrquota,grpquota

Then run mount -a and try reinstall :)
