So I am following a guide from Ubuntu documentation:

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP

When I do the following, I still can't edit the file on Ubuntu:

Code

sanders@sanders-VirtualBox:~$ gksudo "gedit /etc/apache2/ports.conf"
bash: gksudo: command not found
sanders@sanders-VirtualBox:~$ sudo "gedit /etc/apache2/ports.conf"
sudo: gedit /etc/apache2/ports.conf: command not found

What do I do about this? I'm trying to secure LAMP on my Ubuntu VM.

Look at your errors better.

The code should read:

Code

sanders@sanders-VirtualBox:~$ sudo gedit "/etc/apache2/ports.conf"

Code

sanders@sanders-VirtualBox:~$ sudo gedit "/etc/apache2/ports.conf"

But in the documentation it says gksudo and when I did it your way it won’t let me insert letters into the document and opens in nano instead of geddit.

But in the documentation it says gksudo and when I did it your way it won’t let me insert letters into the document and opens in nano instead of geddit.

It says either:

Code

sanders@sanders-VirtualBox:~$ sudo nano  "/etc/apache2/ports.conf"

or

Code

sanders@sanders-VirtualBox:~$ gksudo  "/etc/apache2/ports.conf"

You run the option you prefer. GKSUDO is just an elevated graphical prompt. Similar to Windows "Run as Administrator"
