Cannot modify or delete file

[IT_Architect]

The Situation:
- OS: FreeBSD
- Web server: Apache 2.2.4
- Rights: Logged in SSH as superuser
- Working directory: /etc/httpd/conf/extra
- File & flags: -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 2344 Oct 10 05:45 httpd-default.conf

The problem:
1. It will not allow me to save the file after editing.
2. I cannot overwrite the file
server# cp httpd-default.conf.new httpd-default.conf
cp: httpd-default.conf: Operation not permitted
3. It doesn't help if I stop Apache.

Thanks!

You could try:

cd /etc/httpd/conf/extra
chattr -i httpd-default.conf

You could try:

Close! In UNIX that would be:
server# chflags noschg httpd-default.conf

That's what I needed.

Thanks!
