I'm following the tutorial on raspberrypi.org, lamp tutorial, and have ran into this problem twice now. The exact spot that I get the problem is in the section titled 'Download Wordpress'. @sudo mv wordpress/* when I enter this command the terminal returns: mv target 'wordpress/xmlrpc.php' is not a directory. When I try to view the file tree the only file listed is index.php. The second time I ran through the steps I followed the directions very closely, and have the same error holding me up.
I don't have a lot of experience with linux operating systems, and am wondering if I'm missing something because they assume I should know to do something not listed.
Also after my first encounter I started over completely doing fresh install of raspbian, update, upgrade, and installed apache, php and sql because I wasnt sure what was happening behind the scenes. Do I need to start over again, or can I continue with my LAMP set up from this state? (providing I'm able to get beyond the mv wordpress/*)
Any chance that you are missing the "." dot at the end of the command. Meaning, copy all WordPress files to my current working directory. Given that /var/www/html is your target directory to move WordPress files run:
# cd /var/www/html
# mv /path/to/wordpress/* .
Alternatively simply use an absolute path like:
# mv /path/to/wordpress/* /var/www/html/
