Re: Saving a file

[Jason Greenwood]

It will be a permissions issue. The best thing to do is to start 
Konqueror as root and then right click on the directory and look at its 
permissions. You need to make sure that user, group and others can write 
to that directory. Go to advanced permissions and you can tick the boxes 
to change the permissions. Also tick the box to change those permissions 
recursively down through that directory.

Linux may be frustrating but there is a reason for evrything in Linux - 
permissions are very important so the OS does does not end up being the 
viral cesspool that Windows is.

Hope this helps.
Cheers
Jason

I'm lost on learning this linux !!
 
I'm trying to save a file (info.php) in :
/var/www/html
 
Each time I try to save it I get a pop-up saying that the file could not 
be saved, make sure I have write access and/or theres enough disk space.
 
I have "NO" idea if I have write access although I cant see why not, all 
I can say is that I can save it to the desk top, and this linux is real 
frustrating.
 
When I first installed mandrake 10.1 I set it up to automatically log me 
in, is there any way I can set this thing up so that I have access to 
everything ?
 
Even logged in as "su" I cant do anything, I only want to see if 
php/apache is working
