How to change a network solutions URL back to my personal URL?

Q. I have recently moved my wordpress twenty eleven sites to network solutions. Network Solutions has changed my URL to another url. What I'm gathering is that I need to put this into a sub-directory. I can't understand the directions on wordpress for this. I need step by step instructions. I have put my questions in parentheses above the steps wordpress has given me. Thanks you anyone who can get me out of this hole!

(I believe we did this already when moving it to Network Solutions )
1. Create the new location for the core WordPress files to be stored (we will use /wordpress in our examples). (On linux, use mkdir wordpress from your www directory. You'll probably want to use "chown apache:apache" on the wordpress directory you created.)
(This is self explanatory)
2. Go to the General panel.

(Is this the URL I get from Network Solutions? i.e. 0345009.netsolhost.com/RRBlog)
3. In the box for WordPress address (URL): change the address to the new location of your main WordPress core files. Example: http://example.com/wordpress

(Where do I get this root directory URL, I can't even find the Root Directory in Wordpress)
4. In the box for Site address (URL): change the address to the root directory's URL. Example: http://example.com
Click Save Changes. (Do not worry about the error message and do not try to see your blog at this point! You will probably get a message about file not found.)

(Are my core files the content.php? and where exactly am I moving them to?)
5. Move your WordPress core files to the new location (WordPress address).

(All together I can't find the index.php or the .htaccess, probably because I can't find the directory which seems to be the main issue here.)
6.Copy (NOT MOVE!) the index.php and .htaccess files from the WordPress directory into the root directory of your site (Blog address). The .htaccess file is invisible, so you may have to set your FTP client to show hidden files. If you are not using pretty permalinks, then you may not have a .htaccess file.

How do I make a free and easy minecraft server?
Q. could someone please describe step by step on how to make a multiplayer server as easy as possible thanks!

A. Hello! The answer differs greatly depending on if you have PC or Mac, so I will supply both.

PC: You are in luck, good sir. You can download the entire server and run it with one click.

Go to minecraft.net and log in. Go to the page that you would download the game, and there should be a link for the download for minecraft_server.exe. Download that executable, and place it inside a folder on your desktop (called Minecraft Server or whatever you want). Double-click the .exe, wait for it to do its thing, then exit the executable. Dont fiddle with any code yet.

If you look in your folder, there should now be a whole bunch of files and folders that magically appeared. These are the guts of your server. Now, look for a file called "server.properties". Right click it and select "Open with.." and open it with MS Notepad. These are the options for your server. Options like Creative/Survival mode, monsters on/off, Default world generation or Flatland, etc. Tweak these options to your liking, then save and quit that document. Double-click the .exe, and it will generate the world exactly to your liking.

Networking: IMPORTANT: ONLY PEOPLE THAT ARE ON YOUR WIFI NETWORK WILL BE ABLE TO PLAY ON YOUR SERVER UNLESS YOU DO THIS!

Either port-forward or Hamachi. Port-forwarding: look it up, I have no idea. Hamachi: Google "LogMeIn Hamachi" and download it for free. (from logmein.com, not some scam site). Install it, and go to Network-> Make New Network or something like that. Name it and make a password. Tell the name and password to your friends. Have them get Hamachi and join the network. Yay! You're done! One last step:

Your IP: Go to www.whatsmyip.org and up at the top it will give you some long number. Tell that number to your friends and have them put that in their Minecraft. Hopefully your server will show up!

Now, for Mac.

It's really really hard. It involves some linux bash scripts and specific RAM allocation, and some under-the-hood coding. Email me at finnnorth@gmail.com if you actually want to do a Mac server.

Dell laptop black screen on start up?
Q. When I turn on my computer, the thing that says "Dell" comes up, but after that disappears, I hear a clicking sound, and my computer stays at a black screen. I have a "Dell inspiron" laptop. And I have no clue why this is happening or how to fix it. Can someone help me please?

A. If you have a DVD drive you can make a Linux boot disk and check out the system with it. You might even be able to recover and save your data and files from your hard drive. Check out the link below and it will walk you thru it.

What flavor of Linux is best for setting up a file-server?
Q. My family is scattered throughout the country.

I'd like to set up a Linux file-server that all of us around the country can tap into with SSH and share files. What flavor works best for this ? Ubuntu ? Kubuntu ? CentOS ?
Edit:

Thanks guys. Someone recommended CentOS to me...I just wasn't sure why. Seems like anything out there will run Samba just fine. You guys rule.

A. I'd use CentOS, but if all you're doing is a file share behind a firewall, they'll all run Samba fine.

My phone runs linux can i put a file that runs on linux on my phone?
Q. My phone is an HTC evo 4g and I want to put a Linux file on to my phone. Simply will it run?

A. Android is not Linux, it's a FORK of Linux, and it's not an X86 system, so you can't run binaries that work on your PC.

How do I access my files on a virtual box?
Q. I have windows 7 and I've added a linux virtual box. Is there a way I can get to my linux files without having to open the virtual box? For example, would I be able to go to a file on windows that has all my linux stuff for my v-box?
Thanks

A. you would have to make a shared folder and transfer the files into the folder. otherwise, there is no possible way to get the information back from virtual box.

what is the best way to extract part of a string from a linux file?

Q. I have to get the version of a software package from a linux file.
i.e. the file has the line below,

VERSION=1.5.3.0

Whatâs the best way to retrieve the "1.5.3.0"

Thanks in advance.

A. You would use a search tool like grep. You would have a command something like this:

cat file | grep "VERSION" | grep -o "[0-9].[0-9].[0-9].[0-9]"

That makes a pipeline that finds the line then extracts the four number version from it.

Is there any way to format a hard drive with Linux file system under windows?
Q. I need to be able to format my drive with linux file system in order for it to work in the western digital NAS enclosure. Thanks.

A. Steven's right, but you'll need some extra software to put files on or even view the partition from Windows. There are a few options, the best probably being:

EXT2IFS - top link

EXT2FSD - bottom link

Can you open a linux file using windows?
Q. I need to open a linux file using windows.
I don't have linux installed anywhere on this system.
Is it possible to open a linux file using windows? If so, how and what?

A. Yes, you can open Linux files on Windows. Whether or not you have the necessary program/emulator installed which can read/interpret/run that file is another matter, and depends on what specific type of file you're talking about.

How can I get Simply Accounting to work on a Samba enabled Linux file server?
Q. Simply Accounting states that for multi-user mode, all machines that use the Simply (client and server) must be using the same operating system. How can I use Windows workstations that run the Simply client with a Samba enabled Linux file server that houses the Simply database?

A. You can't. You need the same platform accross the network

What is the difference between "./" and "../" regarding LINUX file structure?
Q. Can you suggest a good material(s) (an e-book for an example) to learn and understand about the Linux file and directory structure??

A. ./ is your current directory. So if your running a program from the current directory you type ./<program>
../ is the previous directory. This is to back out of the current directory.

../ is the previous directory. This is to back out of the current directory.

what is your insight about Linux file system?
Q. what can you say about linux file system compared to windows'?

A. You should say Linux Filesystem because there isn't a official one
The most common filesystems are ext2 (older), reiserfs(old), ext3(latest)
If you are refering to the directory structure the way Linux stores files then you can compare them
In Windows the root directory is C:\
In UNIX/Linux the root directory is \
In Windows the storage component are devices and accessible to a directory structure
In UNIX to open storage device you have to mount them to a destination before opening them
In terms of fragmentation it is lower because ext3 does not write to disk immediately but throws the data into journal back up
Then calculate the most optimal allocation before writing to final destination

Is there a way to convert NTFS partitions to some Linux Filesystem in place without copying data?
Q. I'd like to convert a NTFS partition to a Linux File system in place without copying the data.

A. I don't think you can convert it directly without backing up your files first on a separate media unless you don't need the files.

GParted can do the conversion from NTFS to a Linux File System.

What other version of Linux is Pear Linux comparable to?
Q. I just started using Linux and I really like it. The one thing that I'm not really familiar with yet though is all the Linux file types. For example, I want to download a file and the only versions of Linux listed other versions like Ubuntu, Debian, etc.

Is there a version of Linux that Pear is specifically descendent from?

A. well pear linux is based on Ubuntu which is based on Debian,so there should be no problem with files of ubuntu and debian and softwares also, well most linux distro's are based on ubuntu as it is the most used linux version around ,and some are based on fedora which is based on Red Hat linux ,
i dont know what type of file you want to download but usually there wpuld be no problem with downloading any linux files

hope it helped

What is the difference between "./" and "../" regarding LINUX file structure?

Q. Can you suggest a good material(s) (an e-book for an example) to learn and understand about the Linux file and directory structure??

A. ./ is your current directory. So if your running a program from the current directory you type ./<program>
../ is the previous directory. This is to back out of the current directory.

what is your insight about Linux file system?
Q. what can you say about linux file system compared to windows'?

A. You should say Linux Filesystem because there isn't a official one
The most common filesystems are ext2 (older), reiserfs(old), ext3(latest)
If you are refering to the directory structure the way Linux stores files then you can compare them
In Windows the root directory is C:\
In UNIX/Linux the root directory is \
In Windows the storage component are devices and accessible to a directory structure
In UNIX to open storage device you have to mount them to a destination before opening them
In terms of fragmentation it is lower because ext3 does not write to disk immediately but throws the data into journal back up
Then calculate the most optimal allocation before writing to final destination

Is there a way to convert NTFS partitions to some Linux Filesystem in place without copying data?
Q. I'd like to convert a NTFS partition to a Linux File system in place without copying the data.

A. I don't think you can convert it directly without backing up your files first on a separate media unless you don't need the files.

GParted can do the conversion from NTFS to a Linux File System.

How can I get Simply Accounting to work on a Samba enabled Linux file server?
Q. Simply Accounting states that for multi-user mode, all machines that use the Simply (client and server) must be using the same operating system. How can I use Windows workstations that run the Simply client with a Samba enabled Linux file server that houses the Simply database?
