How do you edit " /var/www " folder for a Server ?

[BUCHANKO]

Hello again,
It seems Debian installed my Apache server just nicely from the boot along with the system.

How do I edit the " /var/www " folder though ?

Sure i could use " su - " to get in as root from the terminal, guide all the way to that folder and using tons of unknown commands for me actually do something, but is this all really necessary ?

In case It is necessary(very sad...) what commands do i use to open any configuration file like "httpd.conf" because when i use " nano httpd.conf " it opens as a blank file with that name.

That would be because you are either not in the directory where httpd.conf is or you don't have permission to modify the file. The httpd.conf file is probably in the /etc directory, at least on my systems. Check the permissions on whichever file you want to modify. The /var directory is most likely owned by root and www by apache so your user needs to be in the apache group with write permission if you want to create or write files there.

It would be helpful if you indicated which distribution of Linux you are using.

Oh, I am using Debian 6.0.0 .

do a search for httpd.conf you may have several of them.

You will definitely not have write access and may well not have read access to that file. So place sudo in front of nano in the command.

sudo nano /etc/http/httpd.conf

for example assuming that's the location of the httpd.conf file on your system and that's the specific one that is actually being used.
