Oops! Installed CE using a domain host that points to my 'localhost'

Greetings!

I'm new to linux and Kaltura and have been test installing it on my laptop.

I created an entry in my hosts file to connect the kaltura installation to a new local domain name, ie. myelggtest.com - 127.0.0.1

I've been playing with the server for so long that I'm tired.. ;)
and didn't notice that I needed to be assigning KalturaCE to be accessible via a sub-domain associated to the main domain.. So I can access the Kaltura software by going to 'localhost' but cannot now access the other PHP project I had been editing previously by visiting the 'localhost' directory via my browser. When i visit pages from the PHP project I was previously editing (an elgg project) I see a 404 message instead..

Can anyone tell me the easiest way to move kaltura to be accessible from a local sub domain and to return the main 'localhost' path to point to PHP?

thanks a lot,
nick

UPDATE:

so I have successfully moved my Elgg project to a subdomain using a virtualhost config and apache2. (elgg.localhost).
And the elgg site is back online.

Now though I am unable to access KalturaCE via the webbrowser.

I have created a new subdomain entry in the hosts file for kalturaCE.localhost and also entered an entry in the 'sites-available' folder for kaltura.. pointing to the /opt/kaltura/ folder that kaltura was installed to..

when I access kalturaCE.localhost I find KalturaCE gui is not presented.. only a folder listing is visible in the browser window.

Is there a database entry I need to update since I installed Kaltura to a different domain name than I am now attempting to set it to?

(also, any tip on how to uninstall kaltura would still be helpful!)

thanks

To uninstall,
1.remove entry in the hosts file
2.remove the kaltura* tables from your database
3. (Careful with this one!) rm -rf yourkalturainstallfolder
