I'm new to mylyn.
It seems I should connect to a repository, should I connect to eclipse.org to store bugs/tasks on my projects? Is information stored secure/private?
In the properties for task repository, I enter
Server: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs
Label: Eclipse.org
User ID: ...
Password: ...
When I click validate settings, I keep getting
"I/O Error occurred while communicating with https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs."
Via chrome, I have logged into the account using the creditials.
What should I do next to be able to connect to the repository?

NO! You must create your own Bugzilla installation. You can also use other tracking system like Trac or JIRA.
But you can also use Mylyn local. It is possible to create local tasks.
Tim Krueger says it all. Additionally though, getting an IO Exception on trying to connect to the Eclipse.org Bugzilla instance is weird. You might want to use the webUI to submit a bug to this Bugzilla about it.
Which leads me to my second point: the eclipse.org Bugzilla is used for bugs on all those eclipse.org projects. Mylyn being one of them. It is not for private tasks.
So local tasks are your best bet. And if you need collaboration, try installing one of the many repositories where there are Mylyn connectors for. Trac and Bugzilla probably being a good choice as they are mature connectors, and a free servers.

I already have a website running and want to install JIRA Server on it. So how do I add a sub directory to my main website, example www.mywebsite.com is my actual website so want www.mywebsite.com/Jira how do I achieve this?
I had downloaded the windows JIRA Installer and ran it locally connecting to the database hosted on my server and it worked using localhost(http://localhost:8080/secure/Dashboard.jspa) however now I want to access it through the web link i.e base URL.
I am new to this so any help would be really appreciated.
Well I understand you do have a domain and you want to run your JIRA with context path /jira un that domain. If that's the case, you may need to consider running your JIRA behind proxy. Take a look at Atlassian documentation since it contains all the information that you need for this:
https://confluence.atlassian.com/kb/proxying-atlassian-server-applications-with-apache-http-server-mod_proxy_http-806032611.html
My server running TFS express crashed. I managed to mount the disk and extract mdf/ldf file for my TFS collection. Here is what I did next:
Built a new machine (with the same name/IP address) and installed SQL Express/TFS server express.
From SQL Server Management Studio, attached the mdf/ldf files. I can now see TFS_MyCollection as a new database.
From TFS Administrative console, clicked on "Attach Collection."
However, the new database is not being listed.
I went through a bunch of links on the Internet. https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/d949edf3-1795-448a-a1cc-39555ce87b50/tfs-2010-installation-error had a similar situation. Based on the suggestion, I had attached the database. I also looked at https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms404869(VS.80).aspx. However, this one talks about using backup/restore, which is not my case.
I must be missing some configuration step. Please advice. Regards.
You cant just attach a collection that was never detached.
You need to unconfigure your TFS instance (tfconfig.exe setup /uninstall:all) and then restore all of the databases.
You will need to restore each collection and the configuration DB. They are currently a set. Once you have all of the databses attached/restored you need to run the setup and "configure application tier only".
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms404869.aspx
You need to follow the documentation for moving hardware. Make sure that you follow each step.
Note: You should take backups!
I am currently using TFS to source changes to a web site code base. Currently, when I'm done making a change, I need to deploy the changes to a web server for review by the end user.
Generally the way I would do this is just connect to that machine via RDP, open visual studio and get latest to pull changes...
However, this only works if I'm the only one working on the entire site. If someone else RDP in to make changes, the site is locked to my TFS account, and they can't make any changes to it...
They could pull their own copy of the site into their own machine via TFS and check in the changes there but because so much of their part is done on the database (vs code) they'd have to duplicate everything they do into the website every time them commit a change, so they prefer to work directly on the machine...
is there any way to make this work, a better way to set this up so I can pull their changes into my local copy via TFS?
my biggest problem to overcome is the fact that when I Get Latest on the webserver via RDP it locks the entire solution to my TFS account, so that when they login to RDP with their credentials, they can't make any changes because the files are checked in, and of course they can't checkout because of course the solution is tied to my account.
If I can get past that I think we'd be okay.
any info is appreciated, please let me know if I can provide more context, thanks
Can you set up a different TFS workspace for each user on your RDP machine? This should allow multiple users to use the TFS client to pull the same solution on the same machine without issue.
Here is the scenario:
I have 2 TFS servers, TFS-A is in local and TFS-B is abroad.
Check into TFS-B is very slowly, so my idea is to check into TFS-A first,
and check all changes into TFS-B from TFS-A in once time at night.
But the TFS-A and TFS-B have different user accounts, when I synchronize them, error happens.
The error told me access denied.
So if it is possible to sync two TFS with different accounts.
How to do it?
Thanks in advance.
You need to supply a user mapping in your TFS integration platform configuration. A similar post shows how to do this in detail: TFS Integration Platform: How to map users with the SVN adapter?
Hope that helps you further.
I am currently in the middle of a TFS 2010 multi-server installation and have the following questions:
should i go with the default installation of having tfs sit on http://server:8080/tfs as i would probably prefer http://server/ or http://server:8080
I can't seem to find the best practice for which user i should use to remotely connect to the reporting services - should this be a domain user, or a local machine account on the database server?
If i install sharepoint and i want the database stored on another server, am i ok to install sharepoint as a single server or do i need to install "application only" and create a "farm"
that is all :)
•should i go with the default

We have our hosted externaly so we go with a FQDN, but if not you should use the default as Visual Studio also uses this default. By all means setup a FQDN or other URL on port 80 to give people the choice, and to make the web access more accessable.

Network Service is fine and TFS will set everything up during the install. You can create a "domain\TfsReports" if it makes you feel better and I would recommend this if you are going to setup Kerberos or are runnign in a security consious enviroment.

You can put the Sharepoint databases anywher you like during the insatll. if you are doing what you sugest, remember not to lose them. A better option would be to integrate with your existing Sharepoint 2007/2010 corporate deployment.
