Notes - TeamCity setup on Ubuntu

Notes from setting up TeamCity on Ubuntu

TeamCity on Ubuntu
==================================================================
Go to http://www.jetbrains.com/teamcity/download/ and download the linux distribution

set JAVA_HOME : update .bashrc add the following lines
--------------------------
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk/bin/java
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk/bin

tar xfz TeamCity-6.0.3.tar.gz
put extracted TeamCity directory under ~/TeamCity

open terminal and run bin/runAll.sh start from the ~/TeamCity directory

install tcWebHook plugin
==================================================================
http://tcplugins.sourceforge.net/files/tcWebHooks
- http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/tcplugins/wiki/TcWebHooks

create directory at ~/.BuildServer/plugins - tcWebHooks
put the jar file in that directory
restart the teamcity server
there should be a new tab 'web hooks' on the build results, not in the admin section

Some notes - Ubuntu install rails 3 environment

Had this on my desktop, notes to set up Ubuntu install rails 3 environment

Ubuntu install rails 3 environment
================================================

1) Get RVM installed with ruby 1.9.2
 - http://www.christopherirish.com/2010/08/25/how-to-install-rvm-on-ubuntu-10-04/

2) Install Rails 3 gem
 - gem install rails --no-rdoc --no-ri
 - .... Successfully installed rails-3.0.5 ... 23 gems installed

3) Install redcar 'ruby ide'
 - check out
 - http://azazeal.xelixis.net/post/How-to-install-Redcar-editor-under-Ubuntu-1010-with-RVM.aspx
 - for my situation I am only installing it on ruby 1.9.2, if you plan to run multiple versions of ruby this probably will not work when you have your rvm switched to another version
  - gem install redcar --no-rdoc --no-ri
  - redcar install
 - now you should be able to type redcar at the terminal to launch the gui
 - lets make a desktop shortcut
  - right click on the desktop : Create Launcher
   - Type: Application
   - Name: Redcar
   - Command: /home/YOUR_USER_NAME/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-head/gems/redcar-0.11/bin/redcar
   - Comment: Ruby IDE
  - need a tight icon for our launcher
   - right click > Properties > click the emblem icon
   - Path: /home/YOUR_USER_NAME/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-head/gems/redcar-0.11/share/icons/redcar-icon-beta.png
  - drag the desktop icon up to the launcher bar if you want one there as well
   - need to set the icon path again for that one

4) Create a rails application 
 - mkdir projects; cd projects
 - rails new sample_app_01; cd sample_app_01
 - in redcar > File > Open Directory > projects/sample_app_01
  - ctrl+T > type Gem > open Gemfile
  - verify line : gem 'sqlite3'
 - back to the terminal
  - bundle 
  - rails g scaffold post title:string body:text
  - rake db:migrate
  - rails s
 - in a browser go to http://localhost:3000/posts

Sorry the links above are not hot, just cut and paste from my notes into a pre tag - quick and dirty

Could not find generator delayed_job_migration.

Maybe this post will help somebody? just installed delayed_job on a rails 3 application. The readme for delayed_job is for the older version, here is a link to the newer docs.

Running this command

rails g delayed_job_migration

Returned this error

Could not find generator delayed_job_migration.

With rails 3 the command should be

rails g delayed_job

Ping Guest OS from Host OS with VirtualBox

I am running a host Windows 7 machine with a Guest Windows Server 2008 RC2. The guest machine is hosted inside of VirtualBox. It appears that this issue can occur with any number of OS host or guest machines.

From the guest machine I could access the internet and access the host machine, but I could not ping or access the guest machine from the host. Turns out there is a network setting that needs to be changed.

On the guests 'container' go to Devices > Network Adapters

Then change 'Attached to' from 'NAT' to 'Bridged Adapter'

at that point you should be good to go

Add tf.exe and other .net command line tools to your powershell path

I really don't like cmd.exe, it is difficult to work with. PowerShell ISE is much nicer and the bonus is you can run non powershell programs from this environment as well.

I needed to run some TFS commands, adding the ide directory to the path is easy

$env:path += ";C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE"

another directory you might want to add if you are messing about with IIS7

$env:path += ";C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv" 

now you can do things like recycle all of the AppPools on your machine

appcmd list apppool /xml | appcmd recycle apppool /in

Rows and Columns with CSS

here is a code snippet for creating rows and columns with css - I guess you could say this is a table?
