Hello everybody :) it’s been a while since my last post, i actually almost forgot that i have a blog :P just kiddin doll :) anyway – from now on there will be every day updates on the topics that you are interested the most :)
And now let’s get to the point…
For everybody that uses Apache/Php/Mysql or Xampp under Windows is good to have a repository server to store their projects, update and commit their work etc.
installing the svn server

I’ve been using so far SVN server that you can install directly with your current Apache configuration, but to do so you have to install svn server, modify the httpd.conf to set up the SVN directory, and then write some lines in the cmd window so that you can create a service which is able to start the svn daemon automatically, so that you dont have to start it everytime you want to use it :P
if you are interested to do the thing the hard way – be my guest :) , follow the tutorials in the URLs below and you should be fine :)

However recently i updated to Windows 7 ( win7 ) beta 7022 which is actually pretty stable OS, and behaving much better than the shity Vista :P . So i had to reinstall the SVN all over again, which if you are lazy person can be pretty boring:)

So i found the Visual SVN Sever:

installing the svn server

http://visualsvn.com/server/

after some searching i found pretty damn good easy to understand tutorial in which even if you havent using it before, most probably you will get everything on ;)

so – check it here

http://rajibmahmud.wordpress.com/2009/01/09/work-with-visual-svn-server-tortoise-svn/

the Visual SVN will create separate apache process and will manage your repository via https (you have to write https://server-name/main-repository-name/your-project:port) insted of svn://server/project-name but i guess it’s ok cuz almost everything is done automaticaly. The only thing you have to config are the User rights and passwords etc :)

    Good find on VisualSVN Server. If you use Windows, I actually recommend it over my long instructions linked to above. :)

  2. admin Says:

    yes :) it saves time and basically does the same thing as the more hardcore “hand to hand” installation of SVN
    the only difference i found is that it uses https:// instead of svn:// for the server adress :)
