sh-2.05b$ cd /etc/httpd
sh-2.05b$ vi httpd.conf

Is it because i am using putty? Or I am wondering if I really have root access, when i used the command sudo su and put my password in I got a message saying I wasn't allowed to make changes.
When I used su - (username) it let me in but you can see the result. Nothing to edit

Neil

try typing

id

to see if you have root.
