[SOLUTION] My SVN ordeal (It doesn't work)

[Matthias393]

I have tried for 2 hours to get SVN working...

It doesn't work, and is impossible to install.

The recent security changes do not give you enough permissions to make the installation, and it's a giant waste of time.

This should be stickied, so that people stop wasting their time trying to get it installed...

There are dozens of threads in the forum that discuss how people have managed to successfully install SVN and how they overcame particular problems with permissions etc.

Hey there. If you like you can use this little script I have written. Either copy this into a text file run it with the permissions set to 755. Or just run the commands separately

#!/bin/bash
mkdir ~/src && cd ~/src
wget http://subversion.tigris.org/downloa...-1.6.11.tar.gz
wget http://subversion.tigris.org/downloa...-1.6.11.tar.gz
tar -xzvf subversion-deps-1.6.11.tar.gz
tar -xzvf subversion-1.6.11.tar.gz
cd subversion-1.6.11
./configure --prefix=$HOME --without-apxs
make && make install

Unsticking: SVN is now installed on all Bluehost servers. svn: /bin/svn /usr/bin/svn /sbin/svn /usr/sbin/svn /usr/share/man/man1/svn.1.gz
