SVN repository on bluehost

[birdsnare]

When configuring Subversion, I entered

./configure --prefix=$HOME --without-berkeley-db --with-zlib --with-ssl LDFLAGS="-L/lib64"

It worked. SVN is now up and running.

I read this post to figure it out

Finally, with some great help from someone on this post, I have finally got SVN working on Bluehost on a 64 bit box.

Here's the commands I used. Replace zzzzz with your username:

mkdir _src
cd _src
wget http://subversion.tigris.org/downloads/subversion-1.4.6.tar.gz
wget http://subversion.tigris.org/downloads/subversion-deps-1.4.6.tar.gz
tar -xzvf subversion-1.4.6.tar.gz
tar -xzvf subversion-deps-1.4.6.tar.gz
cd subversion-1.4.6
cd apr
./configure --enable-shared --prefix=$HOME
make && make install
cd ../apr-util
./configure --enable-shared --prefix=$HOME \
     --with-expat=builtin --with-apr=$HOME \
     --without-berlekey-db
make && make install
cd ../neon
EXTRA_CFLAGS="-L/usr/lib64 -fPIC"
CFLAGS="-L/usr/lib64 -fPIC"
./configure --prefix=/home/zzzzz/system --enable-shared
make && make install
cd ..
./configure --prefix=/home/zzzzz/system --with-expat=builtin
make && make install

Then you need to edit .bash_profile to add /system/bin to your path. From your home folder:

nano -w .bash_profile

replace:

PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin

with:

PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin:$HOME/system/bin

You will need to logout of your session, and then log in again. Subversion should now be working.

Hi there,

I'm aaaaaaaalmost 100% successfull with SVN+bluehost

I would really appreciate if you could give me any tips of how to reach my goal

My case:
- SVN installed
- Repository created and imported content from a dump file (<- i almost died here)
- I can update the content with success (another pain here with windows)

The thing is: when i change a file, and commit, with success, it doesn't really commit!
When i check in the server the file is unchanged

what could that be?
what step am i missing?
what's killing me is that i know it must be a detail!

i don't know if i get happy or worried that i get no erros, as i can update and commit correctly (in theory)

I was following the instructions in the previous post from davemac, but I got an error on the last make & make install

----------------------------------------------------------------------
/usr/bin/install -c -m 644 expat.h /home/alttwois/system/include/apr-1
make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/alttwois/_src/subversion-1.5.4/apr-util/xml/expat/lib'
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/alttwois/_src/subversion-1.5.4/apr-util/xml/expat'

libtool: install: error: cannot install `libaprutil-1.la' to a directory not ending in /home/alttwois/lib
make[1]: *** [install] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/alttwois/_src/subversion-1.5.4/apr-util'
make: *** [external-install] Error 1

There were also a number of earlier warnings, such as
configure: WARNING: Unrecognized options: --with-expat

Any suggestions?

Thanks, Tara

Everything works fine, right up through the very last step...

When I try to import my source tree, or even do a "list" of my created repository, I get "bash: svnserve: command not found"

Here's the command I'm using from the root source directory...

svn import . svn+ssh://domain.com/home7/username/repos/wpmu

If i just ssh in, I can type "svnserve" and it finds the binary fine, which I take to mean that my path variables are set fine. So why doesn't it work? Any ideas?

p.s. Is there any chance we could get Bluehost to install SVN site-wide? Dreamhost has it...

Huh. I didn't even know I was on a 64bit box. Thanks for the link to the tutorial.
I now have svn on my box.

I guess --with-expat is an option for apr-util only so this can be ignored.
Indeed previously apr-util was successfully installed so we just want to skip this error-causing step.
Edit Makefile,
find the line "VN_EXTERNAL_PROJECT_SUBDIRS =" and change to:
VN_EXTERNAL_PROJECT_SUBDIRS = apr neon serf
then:
make install

/bin/sh /home/alttwois/_src/subversion-1.5.4/apr/libtool --mode=install /usr/bin/install -c -m 755 libaprutil-1.la /home/alttwois/system/lib
libtool: install: error: cannot install `libaprutil-1.la' to a directory not ending in /home/alttwois/lib
make[1]: *** [install] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/alttwois/_src/subversion-1.5.4/apr-util'
make: *** [external-install] Error 1

There were also a number of earlier warnings, such as
configure: WARNING: Unrecognized options: --with-expat

Any suggestions?

Thanks, Tara

Here's a more recent update of the script, with the latest versions of each of the programs. I had to add the sqlite3 dependency to get a successful install. After that, it was flawless.

Unfortunately, I don't have write permission to ~/.bash_profile or ~/.bashrc, so I can't modify my $PATH to get svnserve to work properly. I've got a ticket in with bluehost to hopefully either modify the file for me or give me rights.

i have installed sucsessfuly on 64 bit host

Here's the commands I used. Replace zzzzz with your username:

mkdir _src
cd _src
wget http://subversion.tigris.org/downloads/subversion-1.4.6.tar.gz
wget http://subversion.tigris.org/downloads/subversion-deps-1.4.6.tar.gz
tar -xzvf subversion-1.4.6.tar.gz
tar -xzvf subversion-deps-1.4.6.tar.gz
cd subversion-1.4.6
cd apr
./configure --enable-shared --prefix=$HOME
make && make install

cd ../apr-util
./configure --enable-shared --prefix=$HOME \
--with-expat=builtin --with-apr=$HOME \
--without-berlekey-db LDFLAGS="-L/lib64"

make && make install
cd ../neon
EXTRA_CFLAGS="-L/usr/lib64 -fPIC"
CFLAGS="-L/usr/lib64 -fPIC"
./configure --prefix=/home/zzzzz/system --enable-shared
make && make install

cd ..
./configure --prefix=/home/zzzzz/system --with-expat=builtin  LDFLAGS="-L/lib64"
make && make install

Then you need to edit 

.bash_profile to add /system/bin to your path.
From your home folder:

nano -w .bash_profile

add:
:$HOME/system/bin

after:
PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin

so you get:
PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin:$HOME/system/bin

You will need to logout of your session, and then log in again. Subversion should now be working.

Or install git
an other trend today is Git! 
you can get the latest version from http://git-scm.com/

wget http://kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/git-1.6.2.1.tar.gz

tar -xzvf git-1.6.2.1.tar.gz
cd git-1.6.2.1
