Missing Create or Extend Web Application in Central Administration

By
Recently I wanted to create a new web application in SharePoint and so I went to the Central Admin website to create one, but the option was missing. Even though I was logged in as the System Account, the farm administration account I couldn't see the link. If I navigated directly to /_admin/extendvs.aspx I got an access denied message and none of the accounts configured for SharePoint would allow me access.

Use the link from Start Menu. As soon as I navigated from the start menu I realized that I was .
using Windows Server 2008 and that Central Admin has to be run with administrator privileges.
As soon as the browser opened the 'Create or Extend Web Application' link .

Publishing SharePoint List InfoPath Form to a new location

By
Needed to move it from Dev to Production. File > Publish > Export Source Files. Close InfoPath Go to folder where Source Files are saved, open Manifest.xsf.  Find all instances of the URL and replace them with the new URL - there should be five. If you have secondary data connections, update those also. I use Notepad++ and “replace all” so it just takes a second.  Save the manifest.xsf file and close. Now right click on the manifest.xsf and select Design to open it back up in InfoPath.  Click on File >Publish and verify the URL is correct in the “Publish form to a SharePoint List” section”.
