I am a complete beginner when trying to set up a web server. Anyhow, I decided to attempt to set up a Ubuntu server on an old laptop of mine (About two - three years old).
I followed the instructions in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SKJ55ebMcOc and everything was working fine.
However, my laptop is run on wifi and not a VM or ethernet port as shown in the video at approximately 15:31.
When I run ifconfig command, I only get the "lo - local loopback" results. Thus, I do not have an IP address and without an IP address I think I am unable to do anything. The laptop was able to connect to my router during the installation because it downloaded some files during that time.
I saw this question and answer and attempted it Ubuntu 14.04 Server - WiFi WPA2 Personal
But for some reason I am unable to get to etc/network/interfaces/ (says it is not a directory) I can only get to etc/network
Any idea as to why I am unable to change directory to etc/network/interfaces or how else I can make it work?
