If "service fah start" says "unrecognized service" the install has gone bad. That failure of being to use ":wq" is also disturbing, I can only guess that you or the system missed a step somewhere.

In our PM's you mentioned to me that you installed f@h off the root (/) directory. If so, your best plan would be to reinstall. If that's impossible, I could modify the instructions to take the "/" install into account and PM them to you. Off to work now
