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"

on my local machine I needed to specify the full path to my svnhome

so if the server is server.com and my login name is 'joe'
the url would be:
svn+ssh://joe@server.com/home/joe/svnhome

Thanks for the tips - works great from the command line and from eclipse.
