Here are the Steps:
- Download CentOS 6.9-minimal.iso start VM, Choose Media > DVD Drive and "Insert Disk..." then install and reboot.
- Download LinuxICv4.2.5.iso, Choose Media > DVD Drive and "Insert Disk..."
mkdir -p /mnt/cdrom
mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
cd /mnt/cdrom
./install.sh
umount /mnt/cdrom
- Now update your network settings via vi
vi /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
use "i" to insert text, (esc) to exit and ":wq" to write your changes.
It should look something like this:
DEVICE="eth0"
HWADDR=(MAC ADDRESS, This should match what is configured in Hyper-V)
TYPE="Ethernet"
UUID={don't change this}
ONBOOT="yes"
BOOTPROTO=none
IPADDR=(YOUR SERVER IP)
GATEWAY=(YOUR DEFAULT GATEWAY)
DNS1=(PRIMARY DNS SERVER IP)
DNS2=(SECONDARY DNS SERVER IP)
Networking=yes
Start the network by using...
service network restart
Now you can update using yum:
#yum update
Is this ok [y/N]: y
That's it, your done.
You would think this would be a simple 3 step process like bing or google however, following the instructions laid out by Yahoo! will bring you to one of several pages.
Claim Listing:
Following the claim listing instructions lands you on this page:
https://smallbusiness.yahoo.com/merchantsubmit/claimlisting
Which errors out with a partially rendered error page.
Create listing:
Following the create listing instructions lands you on this page:
https://smallbusiness.yahoo.com/dashboard/v2/apps/mylisting?bizid=##########
This page also loads a partially rendered error page in the inner window.
Solution:
You can simply go to https://smallbusiness.yahoo.com/dashboard/mybusinesses to manage your business listings without issues.
Thoughts:
Why a large company like yahoo has such poor documentation on something so simple is beyond me. If someone from Yahoo! reads this please update your documentation and make use of some 301 redirects for all of these old non functioning business listing management pages.
In some cases, files may be encrypted and will not copy correct from one directory for another with the error: Data error (cyclic redundancy check)

robocopy /e /is /v /eta x:\directory y:\newdirectory

When simple content and keyword changes just aren't enough then you know its time to step up your game for client acquisition. One could write a whole book in the process but lets just keep this simple.
Organic Online Marketing (OOM)
- The first step to proper OOM is to create valuable content for your website so search engines will index your online presence with specifically targeted language. With every new properly written article or content piece, you've increased your online presence and keyword quality scores.
- In addition to quality content such as case studies, practice areas and how to pages; adding relevant photos and video will add additional value to your web presence. This is essential to help convey to your clients the professionalism and knowledge your company has on the topic, leading to a higher conversion of the potential clients that visit your online presence.
- Clients now recognize the value in additional functionality; such as secure user areas for communication, helpdesk, FaQ, chat, online diagnostics, tools or other such features; over a "simple website" with a list of services and a form of contact.
