Hiya,

could anyone tell me how to extract a tarball into /var/www?

Cheers

Try

tar zxvf somefile.tar.gz -C /var/www

[gorgon]

in a terminal, type: sudo tar -xf yourfile.tar /var/www

if you type 'tar --help' you can see how to use tar - the --help or -h following any program usually gives you the help file.

Even though I may have left,there are others to answer. Patience is the key :)

I request the mods to delete the thread, if other agree too.
