Subversion

[chinarut]

This is my first post and want to say thanks for the development team - MAMP has been really great for development purposes!

I have Subversions up and running and want to get it served by MAMP.

Anyone have experience with this?

I'll post a separate note I saw on mod_dav

You'll need mod_dav_svn
Make sure it was compiled with svn (svn --version).
Also make sure it's loaded my MAMP's Apache (see MAMP's httpd.conf and look for LoadModule).
Next you will have to modify permissions on your svn repositories if you want read/write capabilities over http/https. I suggest creating a group called 'svn' and add 'www' (or whatever apache runs as) to that group. Make all repositories readable and writable by that group and leave the owner alone. Add your system account to the svn group as well.
For basic authentication, you can use simple Apache htpasswd files.

Hi bgagnon,

Thanks so much for your info here. I am somewhat of a newbie at this so if you could breakdown the process a bit more for me I'd really appreciate it.

I have chosen Subversion for our repository versioning system, and will be setting it up with MAMP on my LAN.

I'm a little confused about the compile part.

What I know:

MAMP has web_dav compiled with it already and supports webDAV.
I read the manual for Subversion and the apache related info (still a little foggy).

What I do not know:

Will I need to recompile Apache for MAMP WTH mod_dav_svn ?? Does MAMP already support mod_dav_svn ?
Do I simply need to put in the LoadModule line/s in httpd.conf to make it work?
How does one compile/re-compile apache with mod_dav_svn?? Never done this before and worried I would wreck Apache and MAMP.

I will leave it at that for now. Still foggy on the literal proceedure as you can see. Any help very much appreciated.

Cheers!

Did you get the information in order to load the modules for svn?
