Dear Issam AD Issam,

  A comma in the mass for Al?

You have inconsistent GGA for the two elements, your 'ecutwfc' is too low, you do not set 'ecutrho', and why do you set nr1/2/3 explicitly? Is 14x14x14 a good sampling of the Brillouin zone (I do not remember what ibrav == 5 is)?

    Greetings from Sunny Paris,

Dear PWSCF users,
I'm a beginner in quantum espresso,  i tried to run a relaxation calculation of 
α-Al2O3. i always receive an error in relax.out i checked the
atomic positions and the lattice parametters i made sure that they are exactly 
saved in input, i will show you the input file if you can help me.

Many thanks in advance,
