Maybe, it's stupid question but I've just installed CentOS5 and when I'm going to edit some of my conf files I see no colors as it did in old CentOS4x... I'm using:
[root@domian:~]$ echo $TERM xterm
Check if your vi/vim has syntax highlighting enabled:
vi --version | fgrep syntax
If -syntax is on the line, you don't have syntax highlighting compiled in. - Did you install vim-enhanced, and does the command "vi" use it? - Try "vim" instead. - If you didn't install vim-enhanced, I suggest getting the vim source, preferably applying the patches, and compiling it yourself: 1. ftp anonymous@ftp.home.vim.org (use your userid@hostname for the password) 2. cd pub/vim/unix 3. binary 4. get vim-7.1.tar.bz2 5. quit 6. (pick a suitable directory to have vim71 under), and bunzip2 vim-7.1.tar.bz2 7. tar -xf vim-7.1.tar 8. cd vim71 9. configure --with-features=huge 10. make 11. go to superuser mode 12. cd src 13. make install
If +syntax is on the line, you do have syntax highlighting available. - Does your .vimrc turn on "non-compatability"? - Does your .vimrc have syntax highlighting enabled? As a minimal .vimrc, I suggest having the following in your <.vimrc>:
set nocp if version >= 600 filetype plugin indent on endif
