Re: How to edit config files in root folder?

2015-01-20 Thread Greg Raven
Charlie Garrison is correct. I just edited /etc/apache2/httpd.conf using 
bbedit /etc/apache2/httpd.conf (no sudo), and supplying my password when 
asked.

 Thank you for your replies! 


 To open files with Yosemite over the Terminal is possible, but no saving 
 possible. It's annoying. The permissions are root:staff if I remember 
 well (I am just now with my laptop). And yes, I checked: the command 
 line tools are installed. 

 I think I will ask over support. Thank you again!

How to edit config files in root folder?

2015-01-18 Thread Marek Stepanek

Hello all!


I have a new 5K iMac - and expect many jealous congratulations from this
list ;-)

The new Yosemite does not allow me to edit the Apache httpd.conf file in
/etc/apache2/

I am opening the files in my shell with sudo bbedit /etc/apache2/httpd.conf

But while saving I get error 20004 and a save window with Install
Helper. What's that?


Any ideas?

Doesn't allow you to edit in what way? Are you not able to open 
the file? Opens but you can't type any changes? Something else?



I am opening the files in my shell with sudo bbedit /etc/apache2/httpd.conf


Drop the sudo part, just run `bbedit /etc/apache2/httpd.conf`. 
BBEdit will ask to raise permissions if needed.



But while saving I get error 20004 and a save window with Install
Helper. What's that?


I'm going to guess something to do with use of sudo. Otherwise 
I'll defer to someone else.


I do know editing inside /etc/apache2 works fine; I did heaps of 
editing just last night. The one thing I couldn't do from within 
BBEdit was create new dirs/files under /etc/apache2; I had to do 
that from CLI.
