Root elevation not allowed!

[omalisson]

Hello guys!
Good afternoon!

I need too much help with an ECS instance of AWS that I created recently using a CentOS Linux 7 x86_64 HVM EBS ENA 1901_01 image, as it happens that after starting the same, I can not perform user elevation centos for root!

I've tried to follow some instructions found on the internet but all to no avail!

I need too much root access to complete some integrations that are only possible with root access.

Not even explaining how sudo with you if you want to create an ordinary file!

Please, somebody help me!

Which password are you entering? When you use the sudo command it wants your password. When you use the su command it wants the root password.

All clouds allow only sudo, so you need to enter:

Code: Select all

sudo su -

And on the password prompt enter your user (NOT root) password.
