Subversion at MysticServer

Admittedly MysticServer's subversion deployment can be tricky to get working, if you need real subversion hosting please email jason@mysticserver.com and we will work out real subversion/trac hosting on another server.

Setting up

1. If you are on a reseller/multisite server you will need SSH access.
2. from ssh:

   mkdir ~/svnhome
   svnadmin create /home/username/svnhome
   echo foo > seedfile.txt
   svn import seedfile.txt file:///home/username/svnhome/seedfile.txt

   
   
3. to Connect
   svn+ssh://SSHusername@yourdomain.com/svnhome/

Your svn should be good to go. Download one of the clients listed below and test it out.

Things to look out for

1. type svn --version and make sure it is in the neighborhood of 1.21 (Some accounts had 0.x installed originally).
2. If tortoiseSVN gives the error "Unable to write to standard output (stderr)" you need to remove a line from your .bashrc

   cp /etc/bashrc ~/.bashrc
   vi ~/.bashrc

   
   And remove the line that says "mesg y"
