Posted by sillyphilosophy on November 5, 2012 at 1:29am

i have downloaded drupal 7 into file system/home/lim/drupal
i tried to copy the directory into file system/var/www
i typed sudo cp home/lim/drupal var/www i was told "No such file or directory"
then i typed sudo cp drupal /var/www i was told "omitting directory 'drupal' "
am i missing something?

you don't want to run sudo on the home directory : see this

try running gksudo nautilus in the terminal
that should open a file manager as root user
then try to move the folder

it works....thank you very
