Web access zu subversion repository through apache

[Merlin <me...@fastmail.fm>]

Hi there,

I am new to subversion and just successfully installed it as stand alone 
deamon and created the repository. After checking all the files in, I 
found a mayor problem which I do hope somebody here could help me with.

Until now I was developing a LAMP application on a suse machine. After I 
was satisfied with the results of the development, I tar ziped the 
entire folder uploaded it to the live machine and installed it there.

Now that I use subversion, there is one mayor problem:
On the development server I can not access the files in the repository 
with apache, since I do not find those files. Where are they living?

Another problem is that since I can not find the files, I can not tar 
zip them and upload them to the live server.

Can somebody give me a hint where to find them and how to set this up to 
get it working?

Thank you for any help,

Merlin

You may want to read this:

As Kevin already said, you probably want "svn export" here.

You also probably want to spend a weekend reading through the book  
online

http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.2/index.html

or its printed version, or a different Subversion book.

These are RTFM issues.  The SVN server manages a database.  The files
in that database are NOT meant for human mucking.

You _can_ check them out (or export them) on the server, and then tar
up the output.

svn co svn://server/repo/trunk outdir
OR
svn export svn://server/repo/trunk outdir

Where
server = your server machine
repo = name of you repository
outdir = directory (which will be created) for output files

(You may need to supply a user name if the account you use on the
server is not a valid subversion user: --user username)

NOTE: The export command does NOT create the .svn subdirectories (so
it's not really a working copy).

Another option: cd into the apache htdocs tree where the deployed
version lives, and check out and in-place copy
cd /var/apache/httpd/web/path/to/my/app
svn co svn://server/repo/trunk .        # NOTICE the . at the end

Now, you can just do an update in the working copy on the server.
NOTE: You need to look into this before doing it: make sure your trunk
is always stable, disable the .svn directories from apache access,
etc...
