Hi there Leon,

Firstly – thanks for the knowledge, had no idea I could install SVN on a shared host, this is a great money saving tip. I salute you! However – I have attempted the install several times (with version 1.6.15), the install completes with no errors, yet whenever I run svn –version, it displays svn, version 1.4.2 (r22196) compiled Aug 6 2009, 20:42:02. Of course, if I now try to check anything out through my client, I get the familiar error: Expected FS format “2?; found format “4?. It’s almost as if I have a version running on this box, that I cannot upgrade… very frustrating, so near, yet so far! FYI – I have a dedicated managed server with 1and1.co.uk.

Any ideas? I am baffled by this

Cheers

Dan

Oops, error on first attempt from my comment above is ‘cannot create directory ‘/homepages/xx’: Permission denied’. Thought the extra info might be important.
Thanks again, Jason

Hi everyone,
Anyone tried this recently (I’m using build 1.6.13)? It builds but when I try to install I get an error saying that it can’t create directory ‘/homepages/xx’. I then replaced the ‘x’s with the appropriate number and it gets further but gives me an error ‘cannot install `libaprutil-1.la’ to a directory not ending in /homepages/xx/xxxxxxxxxx/htdocs/opt/svn/lib’. Any ideas? I don’t know much about Linux so I’m kinda stuck now.
Thanks, Jason

Hi,

Thanks for this tuto.

I’m also trying to make svn working on a 1&1 host but have some problems…

I’ve follow all these instructions but tortoise can’t access to my repository.

The commande “svn –version” answer me but not “ssh svnserve” one (“ssh: Could not resolve hostname svnserve: Name or service not known”)

I’m trying to connect to the repository I’ve create before at ~/Svn/projects/Portfolio by this adress in tortoise: svn+ssh://u******@s*******.onlinehome.fr/kunden/homepages/**/******/htdocs/Svn/project/Portfolio

Any idee to solve my problem?

Many thanks

John, I think that this pushes the limit for what a 1&1 Web Host can provide. You have already tried everything that I could think of. If you have a team of developers, why not get a VPS or use SourceForge?

Were you able to get multiple svn user accounts to work? I tried to but failed. I documented my results here:

basically, i tried svnserve daemon mode, svnserve inetd mode, public key authentication….all attempts failed.

Do you have any advice?

Thanks
