I want to setup a Git server on a windows machine. I wanted to set it up on an apache server. I know it can be done, but cannot find any documentation on how to do. Do you know any documentation I can user? Rather than HTTP, I would like to set it up over SSH. But can't find any SSH servers for windows. Do you know how I can solve this problem?
I believe a combination of gitolite and TortoiseGit for your clients might do the job.
Here is a blog post that documents this process reasonably well: http://therightstuff.de/CommentView,guid,b969ea4d-8d2c-42af-9806-de3631f4df68.aspx

I have a local repository on my pc, and did this with Tortoisegit.
I also have an Amazon Web Services EC2 instance running Windows Server 2012, and have also installed Tortoisegit on there. I have opened port 9418(TCP), and created inbound firewall rules for it. I have a domain pointing to the server, and the server is accessible via HTTP (running apache) at my domain.
I have created a folder c:\Repos on the SERVER, and have set the HOME environment variable to point to this. Inside Repos I created a new folder named ProjectX.git, and then using the tortoise shell right click, created a BARE repository at the new folder.
I want to do an initial PUSH of my local repo, to the one on my server, by adding the server as a remote, but I'm not sure I have the url right.
// also for clarification who is user?
// Do I use the windows username?
git://user#hostname/ProjectX.git
Please refrain from 'elitist' answers such as 'use CLI idiot' or 'why dont u take the time to learn git properly instead of using gui shortcuts', which I see all over git questions online. GUI is there for a reason, enough said.
Decided that there just simply isn't enough good documentation out there to get the git:// protocol setup on windows, and to permanently share repos, i opted for SCM Manager. Which happens to work great. Very easy setup.
I've looked all over and can't figure out if you could use Cherokee instead of Apache or Nginx for gitlab. I'd rather not run multiple webservers (and imagine that they could conflict anyway). I'm giving this a shot on Ubuntu Server 12.10.
For the record, I've already installed gitlab with this guide up to the Nginx section (with all default settings other than passwords, email addresses, and hostname). I'd like to install gitlab at git.mydomain.com and I would prefer for the local server files to be located at /var/www/git.mydomain.com, as I keep all of my domains under /var/www/.
Since you already have all of the Ruby config done, you just need to hook cherokee
up for hosting RoR by following this guide http://cherokee-project.com/doc/cookbook_ror.html
My only problem turned out to be an issue with Ruby. Once that was resolved, I set up gitlab to use a port (though sockets should work too). Everything seems to work pretty well, except for an issue with pushing over HTTPS, but that might have something to do with my local Eclipse/eGit install.
So yes, gitlab will work with Cherokee.
I am a newbie about SVN server. I've certainly used SVN to check in/out codes before, but never learned how to setup a Subversion server it up from ground up.
What I have:
Server | Windows Server 2012 Standard, Activated:
Installed Collabnet Subversion Edge,
Created a repository,
Created users and also started the server, using start button at GUI on localhost:4434/csvn/.
Client | MacOSX Mountain, with Xcode 4.5 Installed:
I have tried to add repository by using the external IP address and the repository name
like https://1.1.1.1/svn/, but as expected, it does not work and says "Host is unreachable".
I have tried to use the local hostname, no luck either. Although I did notice in their documentation, they mentioned IP address setting, but I cannot find it anywhere.
I would like to make it so that users can access and use the SVN repository remotely and locally.
I have no idea what to do, please help me. Thanks for your time!
Go back to the server for a minute. When you are configuring it, are you only using the local web browser? Have you tried accessing the server using web browser from your Mac? I would see if the Mac can reach the web gui first. Maybe you have network issues you have to resolve, such as DNS, routing or firewall.
In terms of using XCode, or any SVN Client, the URL you must enter is the URL to your repository. That will not be:
https://1.1.1.1/svn/
It will be something like:
https://1.1.1.1/svn/reposname
In the Subversion Edge web GUI if you go to the list of repositories, you will see an example checkout command next to each repository. This command shows you the URL to enter in a SVN client to reach the root of the repository. Example screenshot here:
https://ctf.open.collab.net/sf/projects/svnedge/screenshots/screens/repos/repos.png
I think I have sloved the problem. I knew I have to access the repo using my external IP address somehow, but when I tried something like, for example my IP is 1.1.1.1, when I typeed https://1.1.1.1/svn/reposname, I got a no response message.
I figured that since there are more than 1 computers on my local network, the router has to somehow direct the request to my server only, not some other machine. After some reaserch I found that port forwarding does the trick. Since apache server uses port 80 as default, just get the default gateway ip using ipconfig from CMD, then enable port forwarding for port 80, to the server's local ip address. At least I can access it using my external ip on my local network. I will try to access it remotely and see.
I'm facing an little issue here. At the place I live, they shape the download speed by extension (using delaypool). Is there any script that I can run on my web that will let me enter the URL of files that I wanted to download, then it will download the file and rename it to "originalfilename.abc" (because .abc is not shaped)then save it on my web where I can download it. By the way, I have a paid webhosting service.
Thanks
I tried the SSH (my web hosting does indeed provide me with shell access) but all I get is a blank page in my browser. No error. Please advice.
Also, reason I choose script on the server instead of SSH because I though that SSH would be slower than direct HTTP download from my webserver. Can anyone point that out if I'm right or wrong with my thinking.
Thanks
You can write a vbs script or even batch file script that will go to a designated URL, and then download the file, then rename it. Then you can script FTP commands to upload to your webhosting service (I'm sure it has an FTP site for access). You could load this as a scheduled task, or run it manually.
I'd do either one of these routes.
A simpler (once its set up anyway ;) option I can think of is going through a secure tunnel. Whilst this is not quite answering your question I believe this to be simpler while achieving the same thing.
Get an SSH Client (Putty) and get a free Proxy. If your web-server has an SSH-server you can use it as Proxy as well of course, I am using my modified router at home as proxy via DynDns, but the Tor-Network will work, if very slow, so do other official free and paid proxy servers. If you are using an application to download that does not have the option to specify a proxy, get Proxifier Portable.
Use Putty to create the tunnel. Here some how-tos:
http://oldsite.precedence.co.uk/nc/putty.html
http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/security/use-putty-as-a-secure-proxy-on-windows/421
http://kimmo.suominen.com/docs/proxy-through-ssh/
And set your application to use your proxy (or actually to use putty which connects via SSH to your proxy) by entering 127.0.0.1:1080 into the proxy settings. Alternatively, if the app does not have an option to enter proxy settings, add 127.0.0.1:1080 to your Proxifier proxy list and add the applications that are supposed to use that connection to Proxifier.
Now you can do pretty much everything without anyone eavesdropping your connection stream being able to tell what it is, as the connection stream is SSH encrypted. This includes surfing websites that your provider/company/mother has blocked, download anything - even if blocked by IP/name/whatever-filters and even play MMORPGs from work (something which I do not recommend because it will get you fired and there is always some way for someone to figure it out, just saying it is possible to do even in secured company/school networks as Port 22 (SSH) is usually one of the 2 Ports which are open on pretty much any network (the other one being port 80)).
Its a wee bit of a pain to set up. Once it is working though, you can even put it on a usb-stick and use it pretty much anywhere as long as you remember what proxy to connect to. And you wont have to rewrite scripts to try to circumvent the delaypool thingy.
Sorry if this is kind of a noob question, but I'm just starting to use CruiseControl, and I'd like to allow access to the DashBoard from anywhere on the internet.
I can't find any documentation on how to do this. I'm running it off of a Windows machine, and I can start CC and view the DashBoard through http://localhost:8080/
Any ideas?
Update: I added a new Inbound rule for my machine on 8080, however http://canyouseeme.org/ says it's not open. Strange...
I don't think any special action is needed to allow external access, so I think your problem is more of a general web hosting problem than it is specific to CruiseControl. Here are a few things that might be worth looking at:
Make sure your firewall is not blocking access to the port.
Make sure your network's domain policy allows external access to your computer.
Are you starting CruiseControl from the command line or as a service? If starting from the command line, try starting it as a service and see if the results are different. How to do this depends on your system configuration, but usually, if you are using CruiseControl .NET, run the command net start "CruiseControl.Net Server". If you are using standard CruiseControl, run net start "CruiseControl Service".
