Hi, please advice. I keep on getting the "Cannot create the specific file" is this due to space or permission issue? please advice.

Code:
# vi local.properties
#

1.) ENOENT: Perhaps:
  • a mount is failing or
  • something in the path was renamed, or
  • a symbolic link is pointing to a deleted file.
Try running
Code:
find ... -follow -ls >/dev/null

and see what in those ... paths is not accessible

2) If vim is installed in your machine than make vim your default editor.

Code:
export vi=vim
