Setting up Subversion on Bluehost

[birdsnare]

I know this has been discussed before, but I wanted to post the following code for getting Subversion up and running on Bluehost. If you have ssh access, simply cut and paste the following code, and it should create an src directory in your home directory, download the appropriate packages, and install apr, apr-util, neon, and subversion.

Remember to hit enter after the last 'make install" is pasted.

cd ~
mkdir src
cd ~/src
wget http://www.gtlib.gatech.edu/pub/apache/apr/apr-util-1.2.12.tar.gz
wget http://www.gtlib.gatech.edu/pub/apache/apr/apr-1.2.12.tar.gz
wget http://subversion.tigris.org/downloads/subversion-1.4.6.tar.gz
wget http://www.webdav.org/neon/neon-0.28.0.tar.gz
tar -xzf apr-util-1.2.12.tar.gz
tar -xzf apr-1.2.12.tar.gz
tar -xzf subversion-1.4.6.tar.gz
tar -xzf neon-0.28.0.tar.gz
cd ~/src/apr-1.2.12
./configure --prefix=$HOME LDFLAGS="-L/lib64"
make
make install
cd ~/src/apr-util-1.2.12
./configure --prefix=$HOME --with-apr=$HOME LDFLAGS="-L/lib64"
make
make install
cd ~/src/neon-0.28.0
./configure --enable-shared --prefix=$HOME LDFLAGS="-L/lib64"
make
make install
cd ~/src/subversion-1.4.6
./configure --prefix=$HOME --without-berkeley-db --with-zlib --with-ssl LDFLAGS="-L/lib64"
make
make install

Thanks, thats great. I just setup CentOS 5 on an extra machine at home to mirror my bluehost site and give myself a real dev server other than xampp (which is great also by the way). The next step was going to be subversion ....

I will give a caution. I installed it once, on one server, and it worked. I tried it another time on another server for a friend of mine, and apr-util broke on the ldflags. So, use with caution...

Hi,
I have SVN installed and a repository created!

My question is ... how to checkout my repository?

- svn --version

svn, version 1.4.6 (r28521)
compiled Apr 3 2008, 20:43:14

Then, these are the steps I did to get my repository done and protected:
- htpasswd -c /home/Path_to_password_file newuser
With this I created a password file to give access to my SVN Folder
- svnadmin create /home/path_to_my_repository
With this, I created my repository
- Now, Im trying to include this in my .httaccess to access my repository (using tortoise of any other client):

<Location /svn>
DAV svn
SVNPath /home/path_to_repository
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Subversion Repository!"
AuthUserFile /home/path_to_password_file
Require valid-user
</Location>

Anyway ... this is not working (it messed the whole site actually). I havent been able to checkout my repository (nor commit, but that will come later) ...

Any help? How to access my repository once it is created?

thanks,

Juan

Thanks for the detailed and accurate instructions birdsnare! They worked fine.

However, I ended up with a svn client that could not access a repository stored on another server (no support for repository URLs that use http protocol). So, I dug around and found this message in the build:

You have neon version 0.28.0,
but Subversion needs neon 0.25.5.

I changed the instructions to use version 0.25.5, and now I have a svn client that can use my repository. Here are the steps I used:

cd ~
mkdir src
cd ~/src
wget http://www.gtlib.gatech.edu/pub/apac...-1.2.12.tar.gz
wget http://www.gtlib.gatech.edu/pub/apac...-1.2.12.tar.gz
wget http://subversion.tigris.org/downloa...n-1.4.6.tar.gz
wget http://www.webdav.org/neon/neon-0.25.5.tar.gz
tar -xzf apr-util-1.2.12.tar.gz
tar -xzf apr-1.2.12.tar.gz
tar -xzf subversion-1.4.6.tar.gz
tar -xzf neon-0.25.5.tar.gz
cd ~/src/apr-1.2.12
./configure --prefix=$HOME LDFLAGS="-L/lib64"
make
make install
cd ~/src/apr-util-1.2.12
./configure --prefix=$HOME --with-apr=$HOME LDFLAGS="-L/lib64"
make
make install
cd ~/src/neon-0.25.5
./configure --enable-shared --prefix=$HOME LDFLAGS="-L/lib64"
make
make install
cd ~/src/subversion-1.4.6
./configure --prefix=$HOME --without-berkeley-db --with-zlib --with-ssl LDFLAGS="-L/lib64"
make
make install

Hi Birdsnare,

I am swamy, I have one doubt in subversion , I installed the subversion in my centos5,it is accessed by the apache , whenever I do ing some configuration and run the apache i got below error "Syntax error on line of /usr/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf: Cannot load /usr/local/apache2/modules/mod_dav_svn.so into server: /usr/lib/libsvn_fs_base-1.so.0: undefined symbol: db_create" I searched for this in net but i am not getting any solution, if u know the solution please send , it is very urgent.


Thanks

I had to get rid of --with-zlib before the .configure command would execute properly. Kept getting the error: "--with-zlib requires an argument". Once I got rid of that switch, it worked! Thanks everyone!
