 * I did put it in the /var/www/ folder. It seems to be working as long as I access
   it from the localhost linux box, but when I access it from another machine by
   typing in the http:<IP address>/wordpress/wp-login.php, it allows me to login,
   but everything on the pages look messed up, as in there is no formatting, etc.
   It’s as if wordpress doesn’t know where the themes are if I’m loggin in from 
   a remote machine. If I login on the localhost, everything works fine. Also, if
   I try to click on a link from a remote machine after I’ve logged in, such as “
   Manage” or “write”, I get a “page cannot be found” error because instead of sending
   me to [http://<ipaddress>/wordpress/blahblah.php](http://<ipaddress>/wordpress/blahblah.php)
   it sends me to [http://localhost/wordpress/blahblah.php](http://localhost/wordpress/blahblah.php)(
   so in other words, it’s as if “localhost” is sort of hard coded even if you are
   connecting remotely. Any ideas here?
