Question

How to open and edit the file in the command line? I tried to use the command open:

sudo open -e /etc/apache2/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf

but the file is Locked and I can not change anything.

I need to edit a lot of text and use nano or vim is not very convenient.

sudo open -a TextEdit /etc/apache2/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf
