Ok after one hour of attempting to set up and install everything I suddenly realised that I was running linux.Land of the free, home of the brave so I looked up a sudo command and it worked I was ecstatic.And now I want to set up a website so I looked up a tutorial and started following it but the first thing it told us to do was access the folder and create a new directory so to make a relatively short story shorter:
jacob@ubuntu:~$ cd //
jacob@ubuntu://$ dir
bin etc initrd.img.old mnt sbin tmp vmlinuz.old
boot home lib opt selinux usr
cdrom host lost+found proc srv var
dev initrd.img media root sys vmlinuz
jacob@ubuntu://$ cd /var/www
jacob@ubuntu:/var/www$ dir
index.html
jacob@ubuntu:/var/www$ mkdir testsrvr
mkdir: cannot create directory `testsrvr': Permission denied
