Download Flash File(*.swf) From a website using Firefox

Recently i needed to download certain flash files from various websites for my college presentation. I found this very easy way to download flash file from a website using Firefox. Actually while displaying a web page browser first downloads the file, hence you don't need to download it again. You have already downloaded it!!. All you have to do is to save it.
In Firefox..

1. go to Tools >> Page Info.
2. go to media section.
3. choose you file and click Save As..




Enjoy!!

Error while setting up Apache fixed

I got the following error on running
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

* Restarting web server apache2
apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1 for ServerName
... waiting apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1 for ServerName

to fix it you need to edit httpd.conf file. type

sudo gedit /etc/apache2/httpd.conf

this will be a blank file by default. simply add the following line.

ServerName localhost

save the file and exit from gedit.

Finally restart the apche

sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

This will probably fix your problem also.

hope it helps...

Back up your registry

Hey registry is very important in working of your PC. Half of your software problems can be solved in seconds if you have good knowledge of registry files. But even if you don't have you can keep a backup of it. In case of any problem you just have to double click the file and check.

By the way it take seconds to backup all registry files.

• Open RUN
• type "regedit" without quotes
• file>>export
• give a file name and select location
  
• click Save

You are done!!

Trouble with .exe solved !!

Recently by mistake i opened an .exe file with my browser and the field that says always use this program to open this format was also checked.

After that it was horrible...every time i tried to execute an .exe file. It would open in browser and download something. In short i wasn't able to execute .exe in windows!!

Actually that action created a open with registry under .exe format and all i needed to do was to delete it.

If you are in same situation then either manually delete it or download this file and double click on it (it's not an .exe file).... http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2558114/exefix_cu.reg
