Creating a Subversion repository

This item assumes that you already have svn installed and this is the first time you've created a repository for this server (else leave out certain bits)

All items here worked for me on my local development server where I'd already installed subversion but up to now had only been using it as a client to check out code from remote repositories.

Create the repository

svnadmin create --fs-type fsfs /export/svn/ZF_blog

edit /export/svn/ZF_blog/conf/svnserve.conf

making sure [general] is un-commented passwd-db=/etc/subversion/passwd realm=SomeString

Sort out authentication

useradd -d /export/svn -s /bin/false -m svn groupadd svn cd /export/svn chown -R svn:svn ZF_blog find ZF_blog -type d -exec chmod 2770 {} ; echo "[users] bealers=password" >> /etc/subversion/passwd

cd to the folder where your code lies (in the correct structure):

/ZF_blog/branches /ZF_blog/tags /ZF_blog/trunk /ZF_blog/trunk/

Import

cd ~bealers/tmp/ZF_blog svn import . file:///export/svn/ZF_blog/

Edit the commit notes document, for me it opens up in vi. write/quit and your files should be imported

Checkout

svn co svn://localhost/ZF_blog/trunk/ zf.blog svn: Can't connect to host 'localhost': Connection refused

Ah, this server does not have the svn server running, or inetd to run it on so as an aside:

apt-get install inetd echo "svn stream tcp nowait svn /usr/bin/svnserve svnserve -i -r /export/svn/" >> /etc/inetd.conf /etc/init.d/inetd start

Checkout (again)

svn co svn://localhost/ZF_blog/trunk/ zf.blog A zf.blog/sql A zf.blog/sql/zf.blog.sql A zf.blog/codebase A zf.blog/codebase/app A zf.blog/codebase/app/models A zf.blog/codebase/app/models/db A zf.blog/codebase/app/models/db/Posts.php A zf.blog/codebase/app/controllers A zf.blog/codebase/app/controllers/IndexController.php A zf.blog/codebase/app/controllers/AdminController.php A zf.blog/codebase/app/views A zf.blog/codebase/app/views/postForm.php A zf.blog/codebase/app/views/~list.php A zf.blog/codebase/app/views/list.php A zf.blog/codebase/app/views/template.php A zf.blog/codebase/htdocs A zf.blog/codebase/htdocs/index.php A zf.blog/codebase/lib A zf.blog/codebase/lib/BealersApplicationController.php A zf.blog/codebase/etc A zf.blog/codebase/etc/init.inc Checked out revision 1.

All I need do now is edit a line in the app to add the codebase folder to the application path and do the same again within Apache's httpd.conf for the VirtualHost for this app.
