Please explain why you are asking for another forum for Quantum Espresso users.

So even if there are other fora, to my opinion 1 forum is just fine and 
preferable.

Is there any other forum available where discussions regarding Quantum Espresso 
can be done with other Quantum Espresso users?

sorry, at some point of my message I (or the automatic correction) wrote
CaO has a cubic bcc lattice
that instead was meant
CaO has a cubic fcc lattice

You’re using ibrav=2, which corresponds to a cubic F (fcc). The atomic 
positions are in alat units. As such, as clearly stated by the error message,
atoms 1 and 2 are equivalent. Indeed, their positions are:
#1 --> a/2 a/2   0
#2 —>   0    0   0

Atom #1 lies at the center of a face, its position for a cubic bcc lattice is 
obtained by translating the lattice site at the origin (where atom #2 lies)
by a direct lattice vector.

You must specify *ONLY* inequivalent atoms, their periodic replicas cannot be 
included in the list of atoms. There are many other similar
overlapping atoms, such as
Ca —> 0 0 0 with Ca —> 1 1 0 or Ca —> 0 0 1.

Actually, to be honest, you should probably remove *ALL ATOMS BUT TWO*. Indeed, 
as far as I remember, CaO has a cubic bcc lattice
with on Ca atom in 0 0 0 and on O atom in a/2 a/2 a/2 (but please check!).

Provided that, in my opinion, any question is welcome, my suggestion is that 
you try to give a solution to error messages by yourself before
asking people, because what you learn if you “try to solve” is priceless if 
compared to what you learn if you “ask to solve”. In this respect,
Quantum-ESPRESSO is an exceptional lab to make experience, since especially 
(but not only) for the easiest tasks (such as build the band structure of
simple solids) many error messages are self-explanatory and user-friendly!  ;-)

Following is my input file. I obtained the atomic position using X-CrysDen. But 
when I run the file it shows me an error message.
