We have Bugzilla installed on a computer which we would like to act as a server. I have yet to install Bugzilla on my computer, the client. Can you point me to some references which describes how Bugzilla works as a server? What I would like to do is file bugs from client computers and this will be reflected to the Bugzilla server. How do we access the Bugzilla server? Is it a requirement that all of the clients has the Bugzilla software?
Bugzilla is a web based application. You don't need to install anything on the clients. See here for instructions on using Bugzilla.

I want to install PLESK on our VPS. We are already using this VPS is in production and the hosting company recommend to reinstall the server first, then install Plesk and then republish the data.
However, I can find no information anywhere if it is risky to install Plesk on an already running productive VPS without reinstalling it before.
The problem is: A former coder has produced code that we use on daily basis, and I don't know if he made any changes on the server, which would have gone when performing the prior reinstall.
Thank you for your help.
An official Software Requirements document for Plesk in Windows, tells that "We strongly recommend that you install Plesk for Microsoft Windows on a clean server".
It has a valid reason, because when you install a Plesk panel, the components required to build the Windows Hosting environment is installed by Plesk itself. It's installation wizard provides you with the component/roles/software/server selection to install your choice of software in Windows system.
That means, it won't recognize none of your pre-installed components, and you won't be able to manage them from Plesk. Hence, it's not recommended to install Plesk in a production VPS as it may also corrupt the functionality of existing environment.
If control panel is your only concern, I would recommend you SolidCP. It's a free control panel built for Windows VPS. The best thing is, you can install it on your production setup without interrupting its functionality. It'll easily recognize the installed components/roles/servers allowing you to integrate them with SolidCP.
Installation part is straightforward - once installed you just have to integrate the existing server components in SolidCP and then you could easily manage them from SolidCP. It also allows you to import your existing databases, websites, domains, etc. from SolidCP to manage them.
Please help me with my noobish problem
I have laptop at home. I installed MS Windows Server 8 Beta on it, Visual Studio 11 Beta and MS Team Foundation Server 11 only for version control of my application, which I want to change at home (where my laptop-server is) and at work (where my another Visual Studio 11 Beta is).
So my major problem is that I can't easily expose my [home] TFS Server on Internet that I can see it from my work computer :(
I installed TFS Proxy, which generated a proxy URL for me like this: http://win-jnkseeeq4rl:8081/ (which works on LAN)
But of course, I can't get it to work on another (work) computer through Internet, because it doesn't resolve this kind of host.
At home I've got WiFi-router through which my laptop connected.
I think I must expose some ports on it, but I don't know how and is this a main problem really.
Thank you everyone for answers!!!
I run a TFS at home to support my consulting and have setup Remote Access Services using the PPTP protocol to run my inbound VPN. You generally just have to enable PPTP passthrough (GRE protocol) and forward TCP/1723 to your RAS server.
I also use Dynamic DNS to help find my public IP if it ever changes.
But I have to be honest, have you considered just using the TFSPreview.com service instead? I haven't switched over completely yet because I've already built my infrastructure and it's still a beta service but I could see myself doing it in the future.
Have you looked at the walkthrough here => http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb668967.aspx
There is a similar question here, How to access VS 2010 TFS over the internet from remote office
Where can I download websocket server for Windows. Easy to install. Different from node.js I have already tried this one and couldn't manage to run it on my computer.
If you are developing for Windows you'll probably be using .NET. Here are a few .NET WebSocket server options (I'll also be updating this realtime technologies guide with tech as I find them).
XSockets
SuperWebSocket
WebSync (which works with IIS)

My company is interested in better integrating our investment in VMWare with our TFS deployment. Currently the company is running TFS2005 SP1, VS2010, and we have a sizeable SAN that we would like to use in environment reproduction similar to what is offered in TFS2010 Lab Management.
Of the features offered by TFS2005, we are currently leveraging only TF Version Control--work items and build automation are handled by separate systems. However, we would like to use the TFS-integrated Symbol/Source server in order to accurately debug the different versions of our product, and that's where we're running into difficulty.
The VMs deployed in VMWare are not joined to the corporate domain, and this means that we run into difficulty when attemping to grab source code information via Source Server and the "tf.exe view" command.
If devenv is run on the VM, it can't authenticate a domain account, and tf.exe view fails when grabbing source info.
If devenv is run on the developer desktop and debugging is done with remote debugger, the vm's local user account fails to access the share exposed by Symbol Server and can't load symbols to begin with, much less retrieve source.
Has anyone done this before?
Yes - You can still do this. If you are using Windows 7 (and I believe Windows Vista) you can always add the domain credentials to the "Credentials Manager" in the Control Panel. This will help it authenticate for the TFS URL whenever it needs to talk to TFS.
BTW, I have a blog post discussing the Symbol Server and Source Server features of TFS 2010 available here: http://bit.ly/SymbolServerTFS
I'm working as part of a volunatry team creating an open source product with a permissive license. We are currently using Visual SVN Server/TortoiseSVN for source control and TeamCity for our continuous integration builds.
I would like to add a bug tracking component into the mix that will integrate into SVN. Ideally, I'd like to use FogBugz but we have no budget. So, I need an alternative. The requirements are:
Must be free or have a free version supporting at least 20 developers (we're volunteers!)
Must integrate with VisualSVN Server
Must run on Windows
I prefer Microsoft technology (ASP.Net over PHP; SQL Server over MySQL, etc) because we are a Microsoft shop, we have experience with those tools and already have them installed.
Must be able to work with a geographically distributed team
Must work with Express editions of Visual Studio (the developers don't all have the Pro version so we can't rely on Visual Studio add-ins).
I'd like The Community's recommendations, please, for products that meet all of the above requirements.
[Clarification: our license is very close (though not word-for-word) to the MIT license.]
Trac: It is not a Microsoft technology but will integrate well into SVN. There are not many free bug tracking software's that are free on Microsoft technology.
JIRA is free for open source projects and will run on Windows. Subversion integration is available and provided through a plugin.

Try Bugzilla.
Is free
I do not know if integrates with SVN... but I suppose the answer is YES.
Runs on Windows - you must set up few
components, but it actually runs
prety well on IIS, however
installation is a bit tricky.
Bugzilla is Perl and MySQL. However,
as I said I had installed succesfully
Bugzilla on Windows 2003.
Installation of MySql and Perl does
not take a lot of server resources -
we had those two on our ASP.NET +
MSSQL test server, and no performacne
drop had been observed.
Works with distributed team.
Try InDefero, you can even get the hosted way for free if your project is not that big in size.
