A Note From The Editors: Anonymous Comments
Author: admin • Tags: • Comments: 5A Note From The Editors: Anonymous Comments You might have noticed that up to now, you could comment on a tutorial only as a registered user. We handled it that way to prevent spam. In order to drive a more lively discussion about our articles, we have decided to open the comment function to anyone, regardless if you're a registered user or not. Please note that we will take the time to approve each and every comment to fight spam, so your comments might not go live immediately. We'd be excited to see loads of comments from anyone to make annotations, report bugs in the tutorials (yes, we are human and make errors), present better solutions, etc. If you have questions or need help, please use our forum instead as it's easier to help people there due to formatting options, etc. We reserve the right to not publish help requests in the comments. And now: Comments, anyone?

How do I search for a term in a file?
Author: admin •

Comments: 0 With the grep command. If you want to find out if the term user is in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf, you would run grep -i user /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf (-i makes the search case-insensitive). Normally grep does not tell you the line number where it finds the term. If you want to find out the line number, run grep -n -i user /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
