[JagoHarry]

Hi,

I've managed to install subversion using ipkg. How do you get it working over Apache?

Thanks

You must to have 4 things before it work's over HTTP...

- APACHE VERSION 2 (won't work with 1.3.X)
- module mod_dav (comme with apache2)
- mod_dav_svn (comme with svn)
- mod_authz_svn (comme with svn)

after you have to configure all...
take a look at the svn documentation..or tortoisesvn documentation... all are in it...
http://tortoisesvn.net/docs/release/Tor ... tup-apache

good luck... I didn't recive my TS109 yet... but as soon as I have it.. I will try to do this.

Why do you want to communicate with subversion over http:?
The svn: protocol also works over the internet and is about 2 times faster than with http and apache (2.0) .
All the web frontends (websvn, viewcvs) are terrible slow to.

maybe because the computer from where we want to access svn server is behind a firewall where only port 80 who is open...

You could just run svn on port 80 then. Unless of course you are using it already... SVN over HTTP is a really bad solution, and should really be avoided if at all possible...

then....
I installed:
- apache2 (ipkg)
- php (ipkg)
- svn (ipkg)
Configured all.

And now svn works over http port 80.

I just have to configure SSL and after only https connection will be granted for svn.

Why not use svn on port 80, instead of svn over http... The svn protocol is much faster for filetransfers.

Because I need to have access on my repos from my work.. and the only port I have open is 80. and I need it (on my nas)
for the webserver... then...

Then I would recommend you only to use the SVN over HTTP when you're at work, just for you own sake.

Hi ipkg does not install the require mod with svn how can I make subversion run over http with dav because I must make it run like that.

I must do that because I'm trying to install USVN on my Turbo NAS TS-639. Or those 2 modules are not in the modules directory of my apache installation

Code: Select all

/usr/local/apache/modules

I juste finished the installation on Debian Lenny but aptitude is the best package manager ipkg doesn't have enought package yet or enought apache mods...



Is all .so compatible with any nunux version?? I wil try to copy/pasta the .so of debian to my nas (ubuntu quite custom as I could see)

PS : sorry for my english, It's not my native language

No, e.g. an incompatible libc version would be a complete show-stopper.
