Question

I am a bit confuses finding the SVN URL to check out a copy on my computer.

The way I get to my website is: http://dev.website.com/

I have set up SVN here: /home/svn/trunk

And I checkout a copy here: /var/www/trunk

Sso http://dev.website.com/ points to /var/www/trunk.

But I need to checkout a copy of the trunk on my computer. And I try to go to http://dev.website.com/ or http://svn.dev.website.com/, but it doesn’t work.

What is the URL that gets me the files from the trunk? Where do I need to set that link up?

Answer 1

You must not “guess and try”, but find the location of your repository in file httpd.conf.

In order to do it, read the Apache configuration, and find the DAV svn string in it. Location container, which has this string, location parameter will have the path, used as repository path in case of a single repository or base-path for multi-repository.

Example

For host http://mayorat.ursinecorner.ru:8088 with configuration (part of)

<Location /svn/>
  DAV svn

  SVNListParentPath on
  SVNParentPath physical-path

path to any repository, created under SVNParentPath directory, will be

mayorat.ursinecorner.ru:8088/svn/Repo-dir-name/
