Installing Subversion on Windows
- Download and install the Windows binary.
- Download and install svnservice.
- Because we will run Subversion as a service, C:\Program Files\Subversion\bin must be part of the PATH environment variable. The installation should have done this but double-check this.
- Create a repository:
svnadmin create “C:\IT\Subversion Repository” - Make sure file permissions on this folder are locked down. Edit the conf/svnserver.conf file:
[general]
anon-access = read
auth-access = write
password-db = passwd
[users]
${username1} = ${password1}
${username2} = ${password2}
${username3} = ${password3} - Run SVNService Administration and fill in location of Subversion bin folder and the repository you created above. Notice the port (3690). Listen Host: should be set to the FQDN of the server so that it can be accessed remotely. Start the service. Change firewall settings to allow connections to this port as desired.
- Install Tortoise SVN on a client computer.
- Create a project with the usual subfolders:
- branches
- tags
- trunk
