VIM E212: Cannot save a new file
Hey everyone,

I'm new to Linux and am attempting to run a TF2 server on a CentOS VPS (terminal only). I followed this guide (link below) and have arrived on step 4, creating a configuration file.

When I try to save the new file however, I get the E212: Can't open file for writing error. This happens even when I do " sudo vim orangebox/tf/cfg/server.cfg" which to my understanding is suppose to give me permissions? How can I save this file?

I am using the tf2user account created in step 1 of the guide (although I have added it to sudoers).

Thanks,




EDIT: I have fixed the problem myself. Thanks

       This script is used to move the content of a Xen virtual machine (VM) managed with dtc-xen to another Xen server of the same type.  The	VM
       destination will first be prepared, then the local VM will be shut down, then it's content will be transfered over using rsync.

       Note that this is NOT a live migration, and down time of approximatively the time needed for the rsync will occure.

PARAMETERS

       LOCAL_VPS_ID The DTC-Xen id of the VM, from 00 to 99.

       DESTINATION_HOSTNAME Destination Xen server hostname to migrate to.

       DEST_VPS_ID Destination DTC-Xen id of the VM, from 00 to 99.

EXAMPLE

       dtc-xen_migrate 19 alpha.example.com 21

       This will migrate the content of xen19 on the local machine to the destination server alpha.example.com using xen21 as VM name.
