Linux cannot copy problem

Question

If this program is installed under root, then after installation, I find that its configuration file cannot be copied and pasted manually. Do I need to use commands under root to copy and paste in the current directory? Is that so? But I found out why copying like this doesn’t work?

Answer 1

cp /etc/nginx/nginx.conf /etc/nginx
Pay attention to spaces.

Answer 2

sudo cp -rf /path/to/source_file/ /path/to/target_file(path)

Answer 3

chmod 777 nginx.conf

Answer 4

The error message is insufficient permissions. You can change the file permissions and it should be OK

Answer 5

Obviously you wrote the wrong command, cp /etc/nginx/nginx.conf /path/to/your/want/cp/path you are missing the following path.

And your command is: cp /etc/nginx/nginx.conf (a path is required here)
