How to edit a file in vim basic editor?

Question

linux

Good evening.
Ubuntu 13.10, I'm trying to edit the php.ini file as root - the vim basic editor has opened. How can I edit a file and save it? One line needs to be edited to display errors when executing PHP files.

Answer 1

Go to edit location with h/j/k/l, press i to start editing, esc to end, type :w to write file. :q to exit.

Answer 2

And you can just exit vim :q , (maybe for those who saw it for the first time - evokes horror). Then install mc (apt-get install mc) and then run mc and the good old F4
