When Installing Sitecore unable to install Zip Packages Sitecore E-Commerce Services 2.2rev - sitecore

I am new to sitecore development.I have installed Sitecore 8(using SQL Server) and after installing when I try to install zip packages (Sitecore E-Commerce Services 2.2 rev,Sitecore E-Commerce Order Manager 2.2 ,Active Commerce-SC80 3.2 rev).
I see a never ending "Installing package" message. Need Help.

Sometimes install packages do spin for ever depending on the speed of your machine. While large packages are installed, I generally use a program like BareTail to monitor the Sitecore Log file, and highlight on the word "Installing Item" ... generally you see this scroll along. It keeps me pacified knowing it's not "hung".
Other options include:
1) checking the logs for errors.
2) making sure sitecore didn't reset (sometimes when packages include DLL's, this can cause Sitecore to reset the worker process which might interrupt the package install process.

Ho Do I Restart Sitecore Server From Code?

We have a requirement to install Sitecore packages programmatically from a custom admin page. The package installation is working but once the package is installed I wanted to restart the Sitecore server from code.
Sitecore.Install.Installer installer = new Sitecore.Install.Installer();
I tried with installer.ExecutePostStep but not sure what action I need to provide to this function.
If anyone has done it before Please help .
Basically I wanted to execute the functionality from code what the two below check boxes are doing when we do manual installation.
The easiest thing will be to restart the Sitecore's application pool by a Restart-Application PowerShell command.

Problems installing google cloud SDK

After I download the Google Cloud SDK install package, I trigger the install and click all the Next buttons in the wizard to accept all of the default installation options. However, this process errors out before completion. I've attempted this install process 3 times and it errors out each time.
Any idea what the issue might be or how to debug?

Unable to download distribution package for Django

I'm currently testing with a django web application using version 1.6 with a python version 3.4.1 and needs to install some packages here on my machine. Based from what I've observed we are currently connected to a proxy server which is why I'm having issues downloading some of it. Below are the actions that I've taken so far.
1) I've updated my http_proxy connection to http://innoproxy:8083/proxy.pac which is our current proxy connection.
2) Below is error that mostly occurs when I would install the South Package.
C:\Users\fx0.MANDAUE>pip install South
Downloading/unpacking South
Cannot fetch index base URL https://pypi.python.org/simple/
Could not find any downloads that satisfy the requirement South
Cleaning up...
No distributions at all found for South
Storing debug log for failure in C:\Users\fx0.MANDAUE\pip\pip.log
My question is, would it be possible for me to install that package without using the command prompt(manual download) or do I still lack some actions from my end for the downloading to work? I've already checked other possible solutions but so far to no avail. Thanks!
I'm in a similar situation behind my corporate proxy. You may first want to check whether your proxy is looking for authentication, in which case setting you connection string to http://username:password#proxyserver:port/ may help. In my case, however, our authentication relies on Windows Active Directory, which I've yet to overcome on my Linux box.
If all else fails, as in my case, you can manually download the source tar.bz (or similar compressed directory) from PyPI and use pip install path/to/source. This will mean manually downloading all dependencies and installing them the same way. It can be a pain, but it works.

Uninstall Plone/Zope

I am testing different CMSs, and installed Plone 4 in my server. It is not my chosen one, and I now canĀ“t find a way to uninstall it. I would like a full uninstall.
Regards: Miguel
If you used the Unified Installer, you simply delete the directory and you are done. Plone does not install anything outside of that.
If you used another method to install Plone, you'll need to give more details than that, including the OS you installed it on.
Just for the record - if you installed Plone on Windows with the official Plone Installer for Windows (ie, downloaded from plone.org), you should use the "Add/Remove Programs" entry for Plone. Simply deleting the Plone folder won't remove the Start Menu shortcuts or the Windows Service for the Zope Server.
If you've done a ZEO install, you may want to remove the group 'plone_group', and the users 'plone_buildout', and 'plone_daemon'. Just some more advice for cleaning Plone off your system...

How do I install Jetty WTP Server Adapter for Eclipse 3.5?

Currently I am attempting to install the Jetty WTP Server Adapter for Eclipse 3.5 and get the following errors:
An error occurred while collecting items to be installed session context was:(profile=epp.package.jee,phase=org.eclipse.equinox.internal.provisional.p2.engine.phases.Collect, operand=, action=).
No repository found containing: osgi.bundle,org.mortbay.jetty.serveradaptor,1.0.4
No repository found containing: org.eclipse.update.feature,org.mortbay.jetty.serveradaptor,1.0.4
To install, I attempt to add a new server runtime, click 'Install Additional Server Adapters' and follow the wizard I get when I click on the Generic Jetty Server Adapter that eventually loads. I've had this error in all the RCs up to this point, but currently the active RC is RC4.
I also found the 'Download additional server adapters" route to adding the Jetty (and Glassfish) server adapters failed, with the same dependency issues as the Original Poster.
Downloading the .jar and copying it into the 'plugins' dir of my Eclipse install idd not work. The Jetty server adapter was still not a recognised installed plugin.
I had to go to "Help->Install New Software->Add..." and enter the http://www.webtide.com/eclipse site manually. Then I could see the Jetty adapter, and install it successfully. It seems to have installed into the eclipse/plugins/ rather than copied a .jar file into eclipse/plugins.
This may be what the poster on 2 Jul was trying to say, but it wasn't very clear.
I don't know why, but the "download additional server adapters" dialog hasn't worked for me once with Eclipse 3.5, the install always fails with dependency issues.
I also found I had to manually install all the WST Adapter items to get around failed dependencies, for example:
"Web, XML and Java EE Development->JST Server Adapters", "WST Server Adapters"
and also the "Database Development" items. I'm not sure which were required.. when I'd installed everything that looked likely, all my dependency issues were resolved when installing the Glassfish and Jetty server adapters from their update sites.
There's a new (official!) Jetty WTP Plugin to support Jetty 7.x and 8.x: http://wiki.eclipse.org/Jetty_WTP_Plugin
The problem could be resolved installing the JST Server UI before the Jetty Server Adapter. It is a current bug (see https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=321663).
That way you can install it either as a plugin or in the servers view.
I think you need org.mortbay.jetty.serveradaptor.1.0.4.jar to install jetty adapter, download from http://www.webtide.com/eclipse , put it in plugins of eclipse.
Hope the answer could help you.
