New user question

[Marc Diament <md...@att.net>]

Hi.  I am a new user and admin of Subversion.  I've used it briefly as an
intermittent contributing user during consulting work in the past but never
really got into any of the sophistication of the system.  Now I have an
installation at my company on a Win 2003 server that I installed and
configured and am managing.  I also am using a bug tracking system called
FogBugz.  FogBugz, TortoiseSVN, and Subversion integrate so that we can
enter the case numbers from FogBugz in when we commit changes into
Subversion and then we can see in the svn logs what bugs different commits
are related to.  Also we get a link back to the FogBugz web site so we can
easily open the related cases from within TortoiseSVN.  This is working
great!  

 

I am having a problem though.  I am supposed to be able to install Websvn on
my machine and use it to automatically populate links into the cases in
FogBugz that link back to svn and show the commits that are related to the
FogBugz cases.  Websvn is a PHP app. 

I have PHP up and running on my server (same server as FogBugz and
Subversion and I have tested PHP and it is working properly).  I have
subversion running using svnserve as the service (not apache).   I have not
been able to get websvn pages to display and I can't get the integration
between FogBugz and websvn to work.  

 

These are my main questions:

 

1.  Does anyone here have experience with making Websvn work in this type of
setup?  

2.  Will it work with svnserve instead of Apache. (I'd prefer not to have to
install and manage Apache too if I can avoid it.  Its not a religious
matter, just my company is small and the fewer apps I have to manage and
keep running and figure out the crazy Microsoft security around, the
better.)

3.  Should I post this question to another mailing list more specific to
websvn?

 

I feel like I am so close to having everything linked and working
beautifully.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

Your question seems to be mainly about websvn, so you might have  
better luck asking the websvn developers, or asking on their mailing  
list, if they have one.

There are other web-based repository viewers. ViewVC (formerly  
ViewCVS) is quite popular. I haven't looked into any of them very  
extensively so I can't recommend one or another. (I looked at ViewVC  
briefly and found the interface confusing, and I looked at WebSVN  
briefly and got PHP errors almost immediately so I abandoned it as  
immature, though that may have improved since I looked at it.) I am  
particularly fond of the sexy diff viewer in Trac though.

I don't know, but I assume websvn would be able to access the  
repository regardless of how it's being served.
