No such file or directory - init-script - "sed" command
Added by Ninety almost 16 years ago
Hi everyone,
I'm installing Lighttpd (1.4.23) from source following this tutorial InstallFromSource. Configure, make, make install went without problem but when I use the sed command for the init-script part I get an error:
ninety@ninety-laptop:~/Desktop/lighttpd-1.4.23$ sed -e 's/FOO/lighttpd/g' doc/rc.lighttpd > /etc/init.d/lighttpd bash: /etc/init.d/lighttpd: Permission denied
Adding sudo before sed doesn't change anything, however if I try this I get something else:
ninety@ninety-laptop:~/Desktop/lighttpd-1.4.23$ sed -e 's/FOO/lighttpd/g' doc/rc.lighttpd > sudo /etc/init.d/lighttpd sed: can't read /etc/init.d/lighttpd: No such file or directory
So, do I have to create an empty file in /etc/init.d/ or can I copy rc.lighttpd in /etc/init.d/ and then try something like this:
sudo sed -e 's/FOO/lighttpd/g' sudo /etc/init.d/lighttpd
Thanks!

The first happens because you cannot write to /etc/init.d as user.
The second doesn't do what you expect it to do. The result is that bash misparses the line like: sed -e '...' doc/rc.lighttpd /etc/init.d/lighttpd > sudo
Either go to a root shell and do all the stuff as said in the tutorial or run "sudo cp doc/rc.lighttpd /etc/init.d/lighttpd" and edit it with "sudo sed -e '..." /etc/init.d/lighttpd".
Stuff doesn't magically fix itself by writing sudo everywhere. Read a manual.
