GIT Version system
Git is a distributed file versioning system. It was initially created by Linus Torvalds. Linus is better known for the creation of linux.
This is some quick guide on getting started with GIT for people with a windows desktop and a linux server.
Download the windows GUI version of git from http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/downloads/list
Install it.
To create a new repository, only needed if you are starting a new project. If you are going to contribute to a existing project skip to the next section
Open a command line. navigate to the place where you want to start a new repository. Create a new directory for the repo.
sample:
md init_repo
cd init_repo
git init
cd ..
git clone –bare init_repo repo.git
Now upload the repo.git directory to your webserver. I do this with winscp, but you can use whatever way you like.
SSH into your server. Install git
example:
apt-get install git-core
To get a existing git repo.
Open a command line.
Navigate to the directory where you want to have the repo.
git clone ssh://username@host.com/path_to_git_repo
I’m using ssh instead of the daemon as I don’t really see an option to password protect the repo.

You can check the current time on your domain by typing in the following
net time
This gives me: Current time at \\s-dc1.mydomain.local is 3/31/2008 1:56 PM
To setup Time synchroniziation type in:
>net time /SETSNTP:\\s-dc1.mydomain.local
s-dc1.mydomain.local Local should be replaced with the servername where your time service is running. Now to check check what time server your pc uses type:
net time /QUERYSNTP
Voila.

IIS 6 has by default parent paths disallowed. These settings are required to use relative paths in virtual includes.
Parent paths allow you to use ‘..’ when browsing directories and MapPaths etc enabling files in the parent directory to be used.
To enable parent paths:
• Start the Internet Services Manager (Start - Programs - Administrative Tools - Internet Services Manager)
• Right click on the web site and select properties
• Select the ‘Home Directory’ tab
• Click the ‘Configuration’ button under the Application Settings
• Select the ‘App Options’ tab
• Check the ‘Enable parent paths’ box and click Apply
You don’t need to restart the service for the change to take effect.

When some of your servers are running services which leak memory, you’ll find yourself in the position where you are restarting these services all the time. A good admin will get tired off this very soon and look for a way to automate this.
Automating this is very easy. You can use the windows scheduled tasks to run a bat file.
The bat file has to contain something similar to this:
net stop "ASP.NET State Service"
net stop "FTP Publishing Service"
net stop "ReportServer"
net stop "World Wide Web Publishing Service"
net stop "Simple Mail Transport Protocol (SMTP)"
net stop "IIS Admin Service"
net start "IIS Admin Service"
net start "Simple Mail Transport Protocol (SMTP)"
net start "World Wide Web Publishing Service"
net start "ReportServer"
net start "FTP Publishing Service"
net start "ASP.NET State Service"
When restarting theses services you must lookout for dependencies tho. For instance in the above bat file the World Wide Web Publishing Service depends on the IIS Admin Service. this means you can’t restart the IIS admin Service when the World Wide Web Publishing Service is still running.
