I have to manually migrate a Joomla website to another server (shared hosting). Our current site is still an old joomla version (1.5.9) so I wanted to start from a clean install (1.5.22) and then migrate everything. Are there any components that would help with this?
I learned the DB schema is identical so I could just restore my old database but how to quickly migrate all components/modules/plugins with their settings and the general settings coz I assume those are not stored in the DB? So any component that can export-import all that?
I only have FTP access to both account btw.
I would seriously suggest downloading a copy of the site, creating a local install, doing the upgrade and then uploading the upgraded version to your new server.
Of course the complexity will depend on how frequently content change on your site.
I suggest you to use Akkeba Backup, it is a good and popular extension.
It installs as a component and provides a backup functionality at the Joomla backend (/administrator).
About the update, take a look here.
Download Joomla_1.5.9_to_1.5.23-Stable-Patch_Package.zip and extract it into your joomla installation, preferably on your new installation.

I am trying to learn more about wordpress and am bothered with this question.
I hosted my site on bluehost and decided to make a backup. I made a copy of public_html and downloaded it, I was later told by the support that I also need to export the database. That got me thinking where the actual data is located, if not in the public_html directory, where are the actual files that contains all the tables etc?
I asked the support but didn't get a good answer. Surely, all the data must be stored in some files somewhere, so shouldn't I be able to find them, download them, and not have to use an interface like PhpMyAdmin?
On BlueHost ask them to give you an export of SQL File of your database.
If you go the management panel and find MySQL (Database Software) where WordPress database files are stored.
But its best to install plugins like Wordpress DB backup in your WordPress and then use that plugin to download a backup of the database file. That may be easier for you considering you are a non-technical user.

i have an older test unix server with mysql 4.1 enterprise edition on it.
i'm looking for a tool that i can use to automatically generate an erd?
preferably free and easy to setup...
i try to install workbench but i didn't have the know how and after checking with my server guys he told me that i can't install the latest version. and i've been googling around and i can't find any older version for workbench as well.
so i was thinking maybe there's some other open source tools hidden out there that i don't know about.
thanks!
Well, Power Architect is one candidate. I have not tried it with MySQL or on Linux but it reckons to support MySQL and it has a generic *nix download. Plus it is FOSS.

Say I would like to host my open source software by myself, i.e. not in sourceforge or google code but host my own svn and issue tracker and documentation on my server.
What is the best software for doing that?
A lot of people like trac.
Well you'd use trac + subversion server on your own machine.
But there is assembla.com, and also xp-dev.com, if you don't like the licensing forced on you by the websites you listed.
Redmine is a nice alternative to trac.
I would recommend to host with dreamhost or webfaction. They both offer hosted svn services. For documentation, you can go with mediawiki, if you want.
Note: I'm not affiliated with those 2 host, I just use dreamhost not webfaction, but from googling the net, I found out that webfaction is better than dreamhost.
Try BitNami packages for Redmine or Trac, they are easy to use installers that you can run on your server (there are also virtual machines available as well)

Most open source wiki and CMS engines host user-contributed themes/plugins in directories whose code, strikingly, is not itself released as open source software. Possibly the best example is WordPress' own plugin/theme directory, offering support for one-click plugin installation as well as plugin metadata, screenshots, changelogs, system requirements information, community rating, categories/tags and so on. The WordPress plugin directory is built on a collection of open source software and works as an interface to an SVN repository, allowing contributors to self-maintain their code.
Is anyone aware of an open source engine with similar features to allow the hosting and community-driven maintenance of themes and plugins?
Drupal is open source and hosts community driven themes and modules.
Sure. MEF is a great way to set up your own extensibility framework. But, it won't be a turnkey solution. You will need to tailor it to your application by providing the interfaces that the plugins will have to implement.

I am in the process of trying to graphically represent all of our server racks. So when we receive a new server we can decide where this should be put and where a specific servers currently resides.
Are there any existing software packages that stores this kind of data already? I'd prefer open source ones if there are any but anything would be helpful.
If you use nagios as monitoring application you could use NagVis to create custom status maps e.g. a rackview of your servers.
Example Screenshot
RackMonkey seems to fit your requirements too.
I had a look around at this and the solutions suggested (thanks Node) and at the moment my feeling are using one of the following:
NVentory though I'm not sure my company will want to use ruby and rails as this would be our first product using this
Rackview
Or more likely just MS Office Visio 2007 Add-in for Rack Server Virtualization however this looks like it only links to excel and hopefully I can use excel to query a database.
I will update when I have played about with these tools and see what they can provide.
