Hi,

I was trying to follow the "web server" tutorial but got stuck when I got to edit sudoers.
From reading about, it should be edited with visudo command but this returns "visudo no editor found (editor path = /usr/bin/vi)".

It looks like vi isn't installed. I can't find it if it is in another location other than the default.

How would I install vi (there doesn't seem to be an optware package for it)? or can I use nano to edit the sudoers file?

thanks for any help

Alan

vi is certainly included in the busybox binary:

[root@MyBookWorld bin]# ls -lah /bin/vi
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Jan  1  1970 /bin/vi -> busybox

Try symlinking to /bin/vi
