Liferay 6.1.1 CE GA2 works works fine-and-dandy on my local machine and my coworkers as well. When we deploy it to our main dev server, we find that we can't save any changes (i.e., create web content, change theme/schemes, etc).
Any idea why this is happening?
Cheers!
check the log output, this might give you hints on what's going wrong
If you get UI errors, this might help as well
check what database you're connecting with, make sure that the user account you use has write access to the database
In case you use hsql (don't do this unless on an unimportant demo server) make sure that the user your appserver runs as is able to write to the data directory and persist the database
If you're running on a cluster and the second machine doesn't pick up changes made through the first machine, you need to configure clustering properly. The Userguide at https://www.liferay.com/documentation/ has a chapter on this.
If nothing of this helps, please give more information

This wiki (https://www-10.lotus.com/ldd/ddwiki.nsf/dx/Headless_Designer_Wiki) seemed to indicate that you can only create NSF under your Notes Data directory. I have done a couple of quick test and the only workaround I can find is to install Domino Designer on the same server as the target Domino server and set the target as the Domino data folder (i.e: C:\Domino\Data\sample.nsf instead of just sample.nsf).
The reason for this is I am trying to find an automated way of the following operation
Import ODP into workspace
Associate with a new NSF, but choose a Domino Server as a target
Does anyone have other workaround for this ?
I wish I had a more complete answer for you, but as this is still unanswered after a few days, I'll try to add some insight. It sounds like you have some experience getting headless DDE builds to work, so I won't focus on that. If you're looking for my take on headless DDE builds, I blogged on the subject a while ago, but since adapted the Jenkins CI based process I outlined there for a GitLab CI runner based solution, which I described in another SO answer.
Firstly, I would strongly recommend against setting your Designer target as the same as a server instance. This might work, but seems an unnecessary complication, and potentially issue prone, IMO.
My interpretation of your steps:
automatically receive updates (e.g.- on master branch, or all commits, etc.)
perform build via headless DDE
deploy built NSF
Splitting apart the logic for deploying of the built NSF is ideal here, since you have an asset that needs to be parked in a server path. The two main approaches I see are either:
having a dev/staging server that you can programmatically restart on demand
a more complex mechanism, in an NSF or server plugin, that will ingest the NSF's design and replace the design elements in a (newly created) destination NSF
As you can imagine, that last one is a bit tricky, but it was something I've left off working on, until I have more "free time". As for the former, you'll likely want someone with a bit of admin/operations skills set assist you, but in my mind there would be a total of three scripts involved:
one to down the destination server (this is why it should be a dev/staging server)
one to copy the built NSF to the destination file system path
one to start up the destination server
If you have a design task set to run at a certain interval and point the staging server for any changes, you could conceivable pull from that at whatever your interval is; nightly, etc. I hope the perspective helps.
I've been following along with the actual MongoDB docs here
as well as several tutorial articles that are getting me absolutely nowhere.
Running a 64bit windows OS (which is a work computer, and my particular windows login is not an administrator login.. so I make sure to open any exe files as administrator). I can't do anything in the terminal beyond "mongo" or "use [db name]".
I cannot save or add anything like db.testData.insert( j ). Even typing "show dbs", I get an error that says
listDatabases failed:{ "ok" :0, "errmsg" : "unauthorized" } at src/mongo/shell/mongo.js:46
With every example I've followed, I can never seem to be "authenticated" to get past point A. Please help me! I have no idea what I'm doing wrong at this point.
UPDATE:
Sorry for the confusion, everyone. The problem turned out to be that I had an old MongoDB service still running in the background that I needed to disable.
The service must have been turned on while I was testing out some node packages or something. Once I disabled the service, everything started working as expected.
So for those of you who are having trouble, make sure you open up services.msc and make sure nothing is running MongoDB
As there isn't a formal installer for Windows, I'd recommend you delete the data folder and restart. Out of the box, there is no security in MongoDb, so you've followed a step which later requires a password. Either retrace your steps, or start over.
You don't need to switch to the admin Database. I'd suggest you instead switch to a test database for example:
> use test
switched to db test
By default, without extra configuration, on Windows you can delete the contents of c:\data\db when MongoDb isn't running (but if you're using a configuration file that specifies the dbpath, delete the contents of that folder).
There are a number of tutorials with details of how to configure users/security with Mongodb that you may want to read after you've resolved this issue.
There's little reason to create users and administrative control with MongoDB until you gain some experience with the platform. In fact, I wouldn't recommend it at all. It just gets in the way as you're seeing for no real gain.
I'm writting a script that sets up a lot of different applications in Windows (mainly svn and open source servers for http, dns, mail, ftp and db). This script is intended to be executed in new/clean Windows workstations for new developers, it automatically sets everything up to create an environment very similar to the one in production. After it's executed, everything runs locally and the developer can start working right away.
This not only helps new developers, but all existing developers whenever there are changes in the whole system, everything is replicated locally.
The one thing I'm still not able to do is making some kind of backup of an IIS server that is running a web app (it's in the Prod server) and restoring it automatically to the new developer's machine so he doesn't have to install/configure IIS locally.
I've read about using appcmd.exe to create and restore backups, but that works only for the same machine (it uses encryption keys and those keys change between computers).
Is there a way, a scriptable way, to take everything IIS related from one server and restore it on another server, without user intervention and having the restored IIS run exactly as the original?
Thanks in advance!

Just putting this here so anyone who comes across this will have an understanding as to why this wasn't answered. A website has a massive amount of variables associated with it that prevents any easy methods to copy all of its configuration through one or even just a few cmdlets.
To get started though you would want to become very familiar with the applicationHost.config file and how you access the properties within it using the Get-WebConfigurationProperty. One way to get familiar with how to script against webconfiguration properties is to use the Configuration Editor in IIS. Whenever you make a change in the Configuration Editor, before commiting the changes there is a nifty little link titled Generate Script, which will have a Powershell tab you can use to help you gather the proper Get/Set commands for the configuration elements within the applicationHost.config file.
I've created something almost exactly like what the OP is looking for and it spans 4 modules (over 20,000 lines of code) and has a SQL backend that holds all of the configuration elements.
When a website has everything from underlying DLLs that may need registered, IsapiCGI Restrictions and IsapiFilters, accounts that are tied to the AppPool that may need added to certain local groups on the server, to secure bindings that require a certificate to be loaded on the server. You can see that this isn't a simple undertaking. (and these are just a small portion of the variables that a website may contain)
There is however a large chunk of cmdlets that Microsoft provides you out of the box that you can leverage to aid you in developing something like this inside the WebAdministration module. I know this is four years old but hope anyone who stumbled on this will find the above useful.
I took over this 4.0 webforms website and got the exact same code from the former developer.
It runs fine on his local machine, but it craps out on my local machine having anything to do with the “System.Web.Security” namespace.
If I put a breakpoint where it is failing and try to fall into the code for that namespace, it won't let me go any further. It just simply will not execute anything to do with the namespace. This happens with all of the three major browsers

Does anybody have any ideas what is wrong?
Turned out to be a simple permissions issue on our end not allowing my id to have access to the database.
I have recently deployed a fubu mvc application to windows azure. Everything works except when the pipeline tries to find the view to render. This all works correctly on my local machine.
So I am wondering: does the process on the Azure box have rights to read/scan files on disk?
Any suggestions to fix it are welcome though.
EDIT:
As part of the deployment there is a stage that azure goes through called "Preparing files for eployment". I checked on the log and my view was not in there
So I changed copy to output as true and it worked
It depends a bit on where you are trying to read and how you have configured your roles. By default, the code will run as a very low privilege user that only has R/W to the code directory (and any LocalResource(s) defined by the user). However, you can run your code as SYSTEM, in which case you can R/W anywhere (you might still have to take ownership, but you are all powerful as SYSTEM).
If your views are defined as part of your package and uploaded, the code should have permission to view it. I am curious as why you think this is a permission issue right now. Do you see an error that indicates that, or are you guessing it? If I had to guess, my first thought would be your views didn't get packaged correctly and are not on the VM. You can confirm they are there either by RDP or by cracking open the package and snooping around.
