chef-solo example - ruby

We are learning chef-solo and need a good example for better understanding.. Have searched a lot on net but the ideas are very confusing. can anyone suggest some examples.. and also how to run them.. We have installed chef-0.8.16 gem but couldnt figure out how to work with it.. We are using windows platform..Its urgent..

Windows platform support is quite new (version 0.8.14), so its ability to configure resources on Windows is fairly limited until the next release which will add new resource providers for the platform.
A good resource for Chef Solo is its page on the Wiki. You can also get help from the IRC channel and mailing lists.

I have created a bootstrap script here for testing out chef-solo in ec2. It includes a very trivial recipe to run also.

for more complex recipes you could have a look here:

Installation error for CNTK v2beta15

I am trying to run my model on Philly cluster which uses CNTK v2beta15 with py34. Could someone point me to the documentation for that particular version as many commands and examples of CNTK v2.0 (stable) are not working on Philly. Also, I am running into issues while installing the v2beta15 locally. I downloaded the binaries and trying to run install.bat while the machine crashes.
Any solution would be very helpful!
Python documentation for 2.0b15 is at
https://cntk.ai/pythondocs-ver/2_0-beta15/
Also, consider rephrasing your question to benefit other SO users. Is the Philly cluster something that the rest of the community should care about? If you have issues with internal infrastructure in your organization it might be best to contact the team responsible for that through non-public means.

Cloud 9 IDE and Ruby on Rails

Has anyone successfully created a Ruby on Rails (2.3.8) with Ruby (1.8.7) on the Cloud 9 IDE?
I have tried several times, but the lack of documentation is a bit irritating, and every time I attempt to load the version of Ruby on Rails and Ruby that I need the whole workspace seems to break.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. I can supply any additional information needed upon request.
Link to more information from post on Cloud9 IDE website: Cloud9 IDE Support
Thank you for you time.
I used Cloud9 for around a year, and ended up migrating to Koding mainly because of issues like this. Koding gives you root access in your VM, so you can install and use whatever you like. None of these permission issues :)

need help to get started with bugzilla

I have been searching for hours for a tutorial that would clearly explain how to install and start to use bugzilla on windows 7. All tutorials I found didn't help me: links are invalid, uses old versions or tells me to modify file that doesn't exist on my system. Could anyone guide me where to search for more clear step by step information about how to start working with bugzilla? Any help would be appreciated
https://wiki.mozilla.org/Bugzilla:Win32Install is a good description of installing Bugzilla, Apache and MySQL on Win32 platforms.
If you're looking to use IIS instead of Apache this may help

Bugzilla is provided by volunteers, so while it's unfortunate that no one has written an up-to-date document on how to do what you want, it also reflects that there are very few people who are trying to do the same thing.
Your best course of action depends on whether you're willing to pay for support. If you are willing to pay someone to help you, you might consult this list:
http://www.bugzilla.org/support/consulting.html
If you're not willing to pay for support, there are some approaches described here:
http://www.bugzilla.org/support/
You can always create a bug here to report that the available documentation isn't current:

How to keep track of bug progress and feature request in web development projects?

I am trying to find the best way to maintain a bug tracker and feature/upgrade requests for clients on web development projects. Ideally it would be an open source system we can have installed on a sub domain of our site.
This will then allow each client to login and add bugs/features/upgrade which we can hopefully keep track of.
I have been trying to use and implement trac but it just feels too "techy" and a little too complex for setup.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Shadi
UPDATE
Just to clarify, we do want a system to install on our servers, the trouble with trac is the install process in relation to what you get and how clients feel about it is a little poor. But if something is awesome but has a complex setup, that isn't a problem...
Mantis is another. Simple UI.

If you have Linux boxes, trac is much easier to install. Config takes a bit, but wasn't a problem in my experience.
I've heard good things about FogBugz. :)
If you don't want to install it yourself they have a hosted solution also.
Have you taken a look a Bugzilla? Not sure if it meets all your needs but it is free but you can get paid support. It's an open source project AFAIK.

Has anyone been able to install Retrospectiva on a Windows machine?

I've been looking into some bug trackers and Retrospectiva seems like a good tool. However, I am having all sorts of trouble installing it on my machine. I followed the guide on their site (http://retrospectiva.org/tickets/357) but it hasn't helped much and there don't seem to be a lot of users on their site that work with Windows.
I am wondering if any of the SO users have any experience working with Retrospectiva.
I've successfully install Retrospectiva using Robert Heim's guide.
