- go to
wwwdirectory by executing the following commandcd /var/www - check the owner and group of the directory
nwainternetmarketingservices.comby executing the commandls -ld nwainternetmarketingservices.com - If it indicates that you do not own the directory, execute the command
sudo chown -R $USER:USER nwainternetmarketingservices.com - Now after that, try creating the file again by executing
cd /var/www/nwainternetmarketingservices.com
nano index.html
If everything is fine, then the file should be able to be created
Hi @beauboswell,
The command states you are trying to type in a directory that doesn’t exist.
- Make sure it does exist like this:
ls -lah /var/www/
- If you see a directory called nwainternetmarketingservices.com from the output good, that means there is a directory. Having said that, I’m almost certain there won’t be a directory called that way there. To fix this type in
mkdir /var/www/nwainternetmarketingservices.com
- Once it completes, you can go ahead and do
nano /var/www/nwainternetmarketingservices.com/index.html
And paste over what you need inside.
