Total Newbie Needs permission help
Hi there, I am a total newbie with Unix on Mac OX 10.3.4
I am trying to learn a few things on Unix so that my Windows friends cant say macs are for dummies, but i just feel like a dummy! I have created a file and put it in my applications folder for safe keeping (php.ini) I am trying to move this to /etc but the terminal keeps saying Permission Denied I am logged in as an administrator, so I dont know what i am doing wrong!! while i am in the Applications folder i type: mv php.ini /etc Is that right? Am I a dummy? Can you help!! Thanks in anticipation! Dave Allen

Code:
cp php.ini /etc or mv ./php.in /etc/php.ini Code:
mv php.ini /etc means you want to make php.ini into a directory file called /etc. mv is not like copy, it's is more like rename or move somewhere else if needed. Hence the name 'move' (mv=move)
