Very simple yet effective tutorial. Thanks for sharing.

That’s It??? Well, I think I can do it faster than 4 minutes, let’s try… …

jejeje… see? It was faster, installation included (with Ubuntu)

Total Time: 2:30 now, I don’t know if this works

problem with import?

“svn: error while loading shared libraries: /usr/local/lib/libsvn_ra_dav-1.so.0: cannot restore segment prot after reloc: Permission denied”

any ideea ? PLS PLS HELP me achebv@gmail.com

I don’t think you actually install a Subversion Ever!.
Don’t try to tell you can do it in 4 minutes.
Bull!

Maybe 3, but never 4! Don’t think so!

simply superb…….
but i’ve a doubt…..
how to connect a client from server?

This worked smoothly for me except for the fact that I did not have $SVN_EDITOR set to anything so I could not import my projects. Once I set this (export SVN_EDITOR=vi), everything worked beautifully. An alternative to setting SVN_EDITOR is to use the -m “message to record describing this action” option.

Note also that I had to , open port 3690 to access my SVN server from other machines.

Thanks for putting this together!

This worked for me. I can normally access the repository from Eclipse. I skipped step 3. Saved a lot of time. Great post.

Thank you! Very useful

thanks man.. it really is helpful.. very simple yet very understandable.. keep it up..

Excellent! Thanks for that simple tutorial. I did need to ‘export SVN_EDITOR=vi’ as mentioned by another poster, which allows you to edit the svn check-in comment.

Thanks! It worked great, out of the box in Leopard, which comes with an svn install.

Than you! I just set up my svn server and using it with eclipse. Works great!!!

nice, definitly faster than others tuts i saw.
*I did need to ‘export SVN_EDITOR=vi’*, you can use the “-m” flag

Excellent tutorial! =)
thank you so very much. the other ones are longer, and I cant follow those on a short time-frame. I know the installing part is missing. but for example, in CentOS 5 that I have, just import rpm key, then do a “yum install subversion” is all you need to install the (binary) package. Yes, you will need to hit Y when prompted and yes you do need root or equil access to install as usual.

Thank you for Jon W for the additions. and others for saying skip step 3. works for me.

a very nice tutorial, but it didn’t work for me. to get to my machine I first have to $ ssh -L 22369:IPADDRESS:3690 -lblah -N -f, and then
$ svn –username blahblah co svn://localhost:22369/myrailsproject .. and received no response. sshd xinetd are running on IPADDESS. From inside IPADDRESS, $ svn co svn:/localhost/myrailsproject works fine. Any suggestions why the computer isn’t listening to the request? Thanks

Florin,

Make sure you did “sudo svnserve -d”. Subversion needs to run as root. If it runs as your local user, it probably won’t have permission to most things, and you’ll get “permission denied” errors.

Thanks, great post, I succeded with ubuntu 8.04.

I noticed you have an extra “y” in the last code line

svn co svn://192.168.0.2/svnrepos/myyrailsproject

hi can you help me with setting up SVN server over my subdomain? i search for articles regarding those but the links they gave me are not updated..

really a easy way to do. It helped me a lot thanks

Really nice tutorials to setting SVN server, I face problem of svn editor setting solved with export SVN_EDITOR=vi’* and

error:- svn: /var/svn/krepos/conf/svnserve.conf:12: Option expected

I had re-commented three parameters. and working fine.

simple, compact and great articel…
thanks

thanks found useful

This doesn’t work for me. I built out svn 1.5.4 from source. I do this and I get “svn: No repository found in ’svn://localhost/repositories/myproject”

I also get this error if I install from .deb packages or through apt-get. I’ve also looked through the subversion book, I don’t see what I’m missing.

I also get the “svn: No repository found in ’svn://…..’” too
I am doing on Mac OS 10.5 with svnadmin etc installed.
the svnserve is already running too.

Moreover, This is a very good tutorial! thanks

Hi,

I have created the svn repository. I want to access this svn repository from another pc using network.Could you please tell me how can I do this.

Thanks,
Harish

When i tried with the third step its giving me a error message
svn import /script/ file:///svnrepos/script
svn: Could not use external editor to fetch log message; consider setting the $SVN_EDITOR environment variable or using the –message (-m) or –file (-F) options
svn: None of the environment variables SVN_EDITOR, VISUAL or EDITOR is set, and no ‘editor-cmd’ run-time configuration option was found
Please help me

Excelent! Saved me a lot of work. Thanks!

how do i import files from a single svn dump file? can anyone help? I hv a svn dump file of size 41 Mb approx.

For fizeen, you have misunderstood the comments above. If SVN_EDITOR, VISUAL or EDITOR are NOT set (which is your situation), you need to set one of these environment variables. For example,

export EDITOR=vi

Many distributions have EDITOR set already, so others did not need to set it.

Then, do the import.

Short, but not very practical. Running “svnserve -d” isn’t how you properly start a daemon. You need to configure it to run at boot time.
