I had an account name bally and had to create a new account called jbally because there was something wrong with bally.
This fixed the original issue which is not important but now when I go to save a vim file is says that it's not writable even though the the permissions show -rw----- which match another computer's permissions where vim works on.
any tips?
Thanks,
Max

Since you probably didn't change the owner of any of the files when you created the new account. You just need to change the owner.
To do this use chown to change the owner to jbally.
sudo chown -R jbally /User/bally

I'm brand new to using Mac Terminal and I can't seem to figure out what's going on when I try to navigate directories. I have experience in MS-DOS (from many many years ago...but I still get the basic idea) and it's not working the way I'd like it to.
I'm trying to navigate to any directory and it's not allowing me to. If I type:
cd/Applications
It's giving me the error:
-bash: cd/Applications: No such file or directory
I've tried to navigate to it from the default directory and I also tried to navigate to it after typing:
sudo -s
Which I read was how to get to the absolute root directory. I know this is impossibly basic but can someone point me in the right direction on what I'm doing wrong? Thanks!
You need a space between the command name, "cd", and each of its arguments, in this case directory name "/Applications". So:
cd /Applications

Recently, I gave some folders an alias for web sharing. The folders got cut and pasted out of their original location and then restored. The aliases were lost in the process yet when I try to reassign them the same alias it complains that the alias is taken. No other folder has these aliases only they did but that was lost in the cut and paste. Is there a system file somewhere or a registry I can edit to remove them so I can reapply them? The alias names are sensitive. The OS is Windows Server 2003.
I deleted the websites from IIS, refreshed and I was able to make the alias again.

I'd like to know, if there is any problem when I set my .bash_profile or other configs such as .irssi or .slate as symbolic links. The thing is, I would like to git all my configs and scripts in /usr/local/bin(I'm on OS X), so that I have version control and a backup for them. This way, I can also use them on other machines.
I was just wondering whether anything could break, if I'm doing that.
Yes as long as the symlinks are valid and the user has proper permissions to read those locations, you should not have any problem.
Nothing breaks, that's exactly how people put their dotfiles under version control

Is it not possible to change root account details in YaST? Must one use (for example) su from bash?
It is possible to change root passw from yast2.

at tab users check the filter to show you System users instead of Local
users
search for root and click edit
It was many times check through Suse 11.1 -> 12.2

i am running xampp on my windows 7 machine. i've downloaded the sourcecode for concrete5 5.4.2.2 (that is a PHP-based CMS) but some directories are not writeable, see screenie:
since there is no such thing as chmod on windows i am now wondering how to make the folders writeable by the webserver?!
There are two steps that should help you. First, check what user the web server is running as. If you can't see it easily, just Task Manager - it should show you. Then, once you know that user, give him read/write permissions through windows explorer to that folder. Alternatively, you could give "eveyone" access this way, but that has some serious security implications.
