init.d

[salao]

Hi, I am trying to install Openbravo in my computer; one of the requirements involves changing the security settings of tomcat from yes to no. To do this Iam suppose to edit the file that is found in etc/init.d ; however I cannot edit the files in this folder even as root. I can open the file in kate and modify it but when I try to save it I get the following error:
The document could not be saved, as it was not possible to write to file:///etc/init.d/tomcat5.5.
Also notice that when I right click on it, it does not give me the option to edit as root
Any thoughts
Thanx

Re: init.d

You need to issue a command in Konsole Terminal Program which starts

sudo kate (details of file to be edited)

The sudo will get you to root.

Isn't (s)he already root?>

... however I cannot edit the files in this folder even as root.

I dunno, but check if the file has write access for owner and who the owner is:

ls -al /etc/init.d/ |grep tomcat

I, for example, have the write access for the owner disabled for vmware symlink.

strange.. are you running this in konsole or actually from the other virtual terminals (Ctrl+Alt+Fn)?

Re: init.d

KDE GUI packages like Kate and Konqueror, which need to be started in Super User mode, should be started with the KDE Super User prefix:

kdesu kate /etc/fstab

Super User Do, aka

sudo

is for the Linux commands.
