VI editor problem- color scheme

[nirajkanti]

Hi all,
Niraj here. after upgrading to Jaunty version(9.04), if I am opening any shell script file,
all lines are of same color.
I also checked in /home/<user>/.vimrc file , and there the "syn on" option is there.
Still same problem. Can any body help me how to change the color syntax so that it will be easier to read the lines inside any script.

Follow these steps.

mkdir -p .vim/colors

cd .vim/colors

wget http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~maverick/VimC...est/adrian.vim

vim .vimrc

add these entries.

syntax on
colorscheme adrian

save and quit vim. :wq

done.

You can get more color schemes, as per syntax Here
Download and add these .vim text files in your .vim/colors, and you can set these schemes in vim or .vimrc

Hi b2b,
I tried with the steps you gave. But still its not working.
while opeing the link you have given, did not work through wget(showing 404 error)

Error
-------------------
HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 404
2009-05-06 23:20:58 ERROR 404: (no description).

So I opened the site and there I copy all and saved it in a notepad and named it as adrain.vim and did the necessary changes in the .vimrc file as instructed.
Still not resolved. Also tried with other .vim files . Still did not work

Better give me your .vimrc file with adrain.vim . Will check by copying both to my system.

syntax on
colorscheme adrian

Thats all my .vimrc

do you have vim installed or just vi

Mine is .vim not vi... because previous version... i.e. 8.** was working fine. Only in this version I am getting this problem.
