I am trying to setup a testing server for web development. I have never done this before nor have I ever used svn before.
When I go to http://linux-server/
from any computer on my network it takes me to the /var/www
path my linux machine.
I am using svn to backup everything inside /var/www
currently my svn repository is located at /usr/local/svn/svn_repo
if I run:
$ svn list -v -R file:///usr/local/svn/svn_repo
it outputs:
11 root Jun 17 17:03 ./ 1 root May 25 14:05 branches/ 1 root May 25 14:05 tags/ 11 root Jun 17 17:03 trunk/ 11 root Jun 17 17:03 trunk/www/ 11 root 2525 Jun 17 17:03 trunk/www/index.php 4 root May 25 16:48 trunk/www/test/ 4 root 105 May 25 16:48 trunk/www/test/index.php
Where trunk/www/
is the same as /var/www
on the system.
But I want to be able to access my repository from another machine on the network. Something like http://linux-server/svn
Maybe I am thinking about this wrong but it seems to me like in order to do that, I would need to move the repository to /var/www/svn/
directory. But then wouldn't the repository be backing up itself? or is it OK as long as I never call:
svn add /var/www/svn
I am a little confused.
