In your httpd.conf/apache.conf or virtual host config file where you created the svn web dav config.

Simply insert something like this

DAV svn
SVNParentPath “/location/of/svn/repos”
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
# only allow reading orders

Allow from YOUR_IPADDRESS

Inside the block if applicable.

then instead of checking out this:

/usr/bin/svn update –username xxxxxx –password xxxxxx

USE:

/usr/bin/svn update http://your-svn.url.com/private/reponame

That way no passwords are used and adds a small layer of security of your system gets compramised.

No problem, yeah I had that problem too. SVN removes all references to environment variables when those scripts are called.

All the best,

Sorry, I’m a dumbass. I needed to specify the full path as part of the svn update command. Doh!

Thanks for your help though!

However, I wanted to add a simple call to SVN UPDATE to update the document root of the specified virtual host. When I enter SVN UPDATE in the cmd prompt, I get “Skipped ‘.’”. Should I be:
- calling the SVN UPDATE from outside the working dir? (all my virtual hosts document roots are in a folder called ’server’ like so: c:/server/intranet.bob.local, so I would need to call ’svn update c:/server’)?

Cheers!

Yeah that’s correct, either that or check them out to some working folder and make a link (ln) to it from your virtual host directory. Each of your repositories would have their own hooks directory, so you’d have to setup individual hooks for each repo. Be sure that the initial checkouts on the server have the right permissions (www-data for me), so that Apache/SVN can run the hook correctly.

Good luck,
George

I’m running several sites using virtual hosts on our server, with a repository for each. It’s my understanding that the server needs to initially checkout each repository into the root of each virtual host, is this correct?

Is it possible for the server to have several working copies open at once?

Cheers!
