Pi 3 sudo rm issue

[jeffzumwalt32]

First time here and new to the Pi world. I have updated my pi 3, just wanted to put that out there. I have installed apache2 and php5 libapache2. My issue is when i try to delete the old index.html file using sudo rm index.html I get a return of rm: connot remove 'index.html': no such file or directory.

If the file does not exist you do not need to be concerned about deleting it.

It's probably best to use

ls

to see what is in a directory before trying to delete things. It might be that the file is really called

index.htm

in which case you'll get the error and it will still be there potentially interfering with whatever you were worried about.

If you're running this within a script, and the script dies at this point due to the failure, you can use 'sudo rm -f <filename>' instead (which succeeds even if the file doesn't exist).

Did you check in the right place for the file index.html?

In old instructions (for Raspbian Wheezy) it is in /var/www, but currently (for Raspbian Jessie) it will be in /var/www/html
