Answer 1

Here you need to open port 80 then only you can create a file and enter data in it. So for opening, you need to install an apache.

For installing Apache in ubuntu:

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install apache2

For installing Apache in Amazon Linux:

sudo yum update

sudo yum install -y httpd

Then you can enter the directory:

cd /var/www/html/

Then create the file using VI editor or nano editor. That will work for you.
