Moving Wordpress Around

UPDATE wp_options

Linux NIC in VMware

NIC on Linux running as VMware guest goes missing when porting from one operating system to another. One quick way to see if things are in place would be to run:

ifconfig -a

Check which eth(n) is present. Check also in the file:

ifconfig -a
