Thanks Hannes,William and Raoul I will be trying all your suggestions

Raoul I started with php and liked the idea of integrating script into
an html doc. and it just seemed to work for me.

I would like to try Python but first want to spend time learning more
about Linux.

Talking of which what am I doing wrong here?

root at point:~# sudo cp /home/darrel/Websites/sapis /var/www/
cp: omitting directory `/home/darrel/Websites/sapis'


sapis is a folder containg files for a website
