INSTALLING ON LINUX- DESPERATE

I can see a couple of problems:

1) You should use either "sudo" or "su -c", The -c on the end of the su command tells su what command to run when you become root. You don't need a -c on sudo, just type the command.
2) The Linux file system is case sensitive. This means that test.txt and Text.txt can both exist in the same directory. So if you create a file called TeSt.TxT you've always got to refer to it as TeSt.TxT because test.txt refers to a different file. This is causing you an issue a problem here because the desktop folder is called "Desktop" not "desktop".

So, either of these commands should work for you....

Code:

sudo mv /home/marea/Desktop/CodeIgniter_1.7.0 /var/www
su -c mv /home/marea/Desktop/CodeIgniter_1.7.0 /var/www
