I'm not sure what this has to do with DirectAdmin; I've moved it to Off-Topic Discussion.

# locate .mp3
# locate .avi
# locate .bt

when i try to using command as you teach, it show msg as below


[root@server ~]# locate .mp3
warning: locate: could not open database: /var/lib/slocate/slocate.db: No such f ile or directory
warning: You need to run the 'updatedb' command (as root) to create the database .
Please have a look at /etc/updatedb.conf to enable the daily cron job.

Do the command

updatedb

then

locate .mp3

Note my error (fixed above); ..avi is incorrect. Correct should be:

# locate .avi

Do the command

updatedb

then

locate .mp3

type "updatedb" at root access?

It should eventually return another prompt. No other information returned means it ran properly without error.
