Trying to make a simple server

Tue Aug 06, 2013 5:34 pm

I was trying to turn my Pi into a web server. I started by typing
sudo -i
cd /boot
mv boot_enable_ssh.rc boot.rc
but when I tried to type in the third line I got the error mv: boot_enable_ssh.rc: No such file or directory.
Can somebody help me please?

You're reading VERY old instructions.
If you're using Raspbian, all you need to do to turn the Pi into a webserver is type this into a terminal window -

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install lighttpd
or

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install apache2
Both of those commands will install some sort of web server.

Agree with SirLagz , whatever you're reading is VERY outdated.
(That means one year in Pi-land. )

Reccomendation: Lighttpd.

I'm running it right now and it works great.
