TortoiseSVN in PC

Objective
-to guide installation.
-to review how to commit a repository into working copy.

1. Download the installer from this site.

2.When installed, the new features in TortoiseSVN will appear when you pressed right-click on the Desktop.

3.Open the TortoiseSVN ---> Setting and activate the Use “_svn” instead of “.svn” directories checkbox.


4.Choose the TortoiseMerge for Diff Viewer instead of External.

5. To link the TortoiseSVN to server, right-click → TortoiseSVN → Repo-browser. Key-in the


6.The repository browser will appear.


That means if you want to browse this repository using browser, you also can but need to be authorised first. This is because the svn authorization (permission) setting has been configured.
7. Firstly, the repository contain nothing, thus the svn manager must add new folder or files in the repository.
8. After that, these documents can be checked-out to the working copy in the PC. Just right-click the right column's repository windows. → Checkout.

9.Let say, my working copy is inside the project3 folder in Desktop.

10. The working folder will have right mark; means that all documents are revised.

11.Otherwise, the red mark will appear. It means somebody already modified the file but not checkout yet. So we can know specifically which file being modified inside the working copy folder.

12.The incident in (11) above can be solved by committing the working copy. → Checkout → write the revision message.


13.And finally you will receive the complete message if the revision success.

14.The revision number also changes when you check via browser.

Clone virtual server.

Physical OS: Suse Linux Ent. 11.0 (SLES).
Virtual machine OS: OpenSUSE 11.0

This documentation is base on OpenSUSE 11.1

When you setup physical server, your system (in this case : xen), will built Domain-0. Inside Domain-0 you can insert virtual server as many as you wish. For the first virtual server, you must install by using CD or by getting it form any source.
The system, let say you want to develop (create) ten virtual server in your physical server, it is not economic (in term of time saving), if you use manual ways. Setting up virtual server (xen for Open SUSE 11.0) on SLES 11.0 is about ten to fifteen minutes. This is my experience doing this technical works.
So, if you can clone the system, you just copy the template of virtual server and then just adjust the IP address and its name. For xen, this template is located in the /etc/xen/images//disk0.

For example;
I already created a virtual server named as MYSVR01_01, and I want to create ten vm's named as MYSVR01_02, MYSVR01_03,.........., MYSVR01_10, MYSVR01_11.

First, to make sure you can fully duplicate the template, you must shutdown the virtual server. If you copy the template while the server is running, you should get the full copy, but at the stage to create virtual machine, you can get an error message: Kernel not found!



Ok, to duplicate this you must login as root into your system (physical system, in this example, my physical system named as MYSVR01). Then insert this command;

cd /etc/xen/images

If you check the current template, it will tell you that MYSVR01_01 already there. And inside MYSVR01_01 there is disk0. The disk0 keep all data needed to built new vm.

Then you can copy disk0 to your vm lists from 02 to 11, by using this command

list='MYSVR01_02 MYSVR01_03 MYSVR01_04 MYSVR01_05 MYSVR01_06 MYSVR01_07 MYSVR01_08 MYSVR01_09 MYSVR01_010 MYSVR01_11'

Then do this command
for i in $list; do cp -r MYSVR01_01 $i done

Then you must wait a moment until disk0 is duplicated in each vm folder.

When the work done, turn to root, by typing

cd /etc

then

cd ..

Insert command

yast2 &

And select, Create Virtual machine.



Then select 'I have a disk or disk image from an installed operating system'



Then click forward, select the OS type.



Click forward, then write your setup for new virtual machine, such as name, memory, and Disk.



Important!
For Disk, please select hardisk, and find the template disk named as disk0 in the directory MYSVR01_02.

Then click OK.

Virtual machine console will be automatically run, and until you reach the login part for that virtual machine.

After signing in, just type command yast. And the blue windows will appear.



Select Network Device and then Network Setting.
Just rename the hostname, IP Address, and other necessary data in this windows.

When you replaced all needed part, you can check the configuration by using this command:

ifconfig

At this stage, the command prompt still remain as the old name, but when you exit (command: exit), the prompt name will be changed to the new name.

Liferay 5.2.2 : How to setup username and password with 'test'.

Why did you failed to sign in as usual (test@liferay.com)?
In Liferay 5.1.2 you can login as test@liferray.com and the default password also 'test'.

For the newest version that is Liferay 5.2.2, the current username is bruno@7cogs.com and password is 'bruno'. However, we can still manipulate this data to login as test@liferay.com and its password as 'test'. How?

First, we must edit file portal-ext.properties (C:\liferay\tomcat\webapps\ROOT\WEB-INF\classes). If the file not exist, just create it by using write editor (example: notepad), and save it as ' portal-ext.properties'. Inside this file, you must put these values.

default.landing.page.path=/web/guest/home

locales=en_US, ms_MY
# the term of language can be set as your own.

locale.default.request=true
theme.css.fast.load=false
javascript.fast.load=false
layout.template.cache.enabled=false
velocity.engine.resource.manager.cache.enabled=false
theme.shortcut.icon=infra.png
company.default.web.id=skali.net
#this id also can be renamed or just keep it as liferay.com. In my case, I will use the domain name as skali.net, but the username and passwoord remain as 'test'.

#after /localhost, you can use any database name. And all data will be populated in your database.
jdbc.default.driverClassName=com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
jdbc.default.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost/liferay?useUnicode=true&characterEncoding=UTF-8&useFastDateParsing=false

#this is the username and pasword to access your mysql database.
jdbc.default.username=root
jdbc.default.password=root

schema.run.enabled=true
schema.run.minimal=true

How to customise your page? That means we dislike to see previous works from 7cogs.
Ok, just remove folder sevencogs-hook in the webapss. (C:\liferay\tomcat\webapps).
Restart your liferay server. (statrup.bat / startup.sh – depend on your system platform.)

Then your page will be like this. See figure below.

Open Source Review
