Thanks for the article. but why you have created those 2 directories in the first place but haven’t used them?

correct me if I’m wrong. you create 2 dirs then there is no step to cd into them to download or …

Thanks,
amit

I found better directions on the forums:

http://www.bluehostforum.com/showthread.php?t=8191&highlight=install&page=2

At the bottom. Versions work together and it worked just fine.

I got down to the cnofiguation of subvertion and it said

configure: Apache Portable Runtime (APR) library configuration
checking for APR… yes
checking APR version… 0.9.4
wanted regexes are 0\.9\.[7-9] 0\.9\.1[0-9] 1\.
configure: error: invalid apr version found
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.
make: *** No rule to make target `install’. Stop.

How can I get the right version of apr?

Thanks very much! I had to download and build expat (with –prefix=$HOME) due to incompatibilities with the one already there on the host, and then add the –with-expat=$HOME flag to the ones already in your tutorial, configure and build subversion, and after that it worked perfectly. I also had some initial confusion with the missing line breaks, but no harm done. Very helpful, and thanks again.

Hi, very helpful, but, you really need to but some linebreaks between those commands.

mkdir ~/srccd ~/src

is not the same as

mkdir ~/src

cd ~/src

You can now get SSH access on Bluehost via the cpanel.
Under the Security section,
SSH/Shell
it will ask you to upload a scan/photo of your picture ID.

(sorry if this was mentioned elsewhere)

Any help?

I used putty to create a directory and checkout, so I would know I don’t have a firewall problem. I mean, I wanted to test it while doing a local checkout to a svn+ssh://localhost address.

With TortoiseSVN, I’m using the “svn+ssh://domain/repos” address. It prompts for a username and password, and then fails. I’ve tried also the “svn+ssh://username@domain/repos”, which only asked for the password, but also failed.

Adrian, You don’t use putty to check out the project, just to create the repository.

You need an svn clinet on your local machine and give it the URL of the repos to check out locally.

Adrian Aisemberg — Wed, 24 Dec 2008 12:59:35 +0000

I’m trying to checkout the repository from a windows machine (I had the same problem also when trying from the linux box). TortoisePlink asks for user and password. I’m giving it my user and password I use when connecting with FTP or putty, but still, I get the “Connection closed unexpectedly” message.

I have installed svn according to this guide. It all went perfectly good. After the installation, I have created a repository (“~/repos”). I’m stuck now with the checkout.

Tried to checkout from within my putty session, and still the same error.

Please help.

First of all, great job, works perfectly. One problem, your instructions are missing a [space] in two places after the $HOME variable. I couldn’t get this install to work until a friend pointed out the problem. Would be great if you could change the post;) Thx for the tutorial

The following lines from ‘Install Apr’ and ‘Install Apr Util’ should be changed from:

cd apr ./configure –prefix=$HOMEmake; make install
cd apr-util ./configure –prefix=$HOME –with-apr=$HOMEmake; make install

to this:

cd apr ./configure –prefix=$HOME make; make install
cd apr-util ./configure –prefix=$HOME –with-apr=$HOME make; make install

No Luke, you don’t need a dedicated IP address, you just need ssh access.

If you don’t want to set this up yourself, there are some free SVN repository websites such as google code and http://www.beanstalkapp.com

You may want to explore these as an alternative.

To use SVN with Bluehost, do you need a dedicated IP address? I just asked for some help on the Bluehost forums and was told I need to purchase a dedicated IP for $30/year in order to use SVN. Just wanted to confirm this is true because this it the first I’ve heard of this. Thanks!

Agreed and Confirmed.
I had the same issue related to a 32 bit install guide for a shared box that is 64bit.

The above link to the bluehost forum is accurate (bar the spelling mistake in berkeley he made), and worked great for me

Sweet! I’m glad you were able to get it working!

By: Paul

Paul — Wed, 21 May 2008 22:17:57 +0000

nevermind; I got it working I followed the link above that talks about setting up on a 64-bit system. I was able to muddle through to something that worked after following it.

Hey this is a great tutorial; thanks for posting it.

I’ve run into the same snag as “Mike”. When I enter the “svnadmin create project_name” command I get this message:
-bash: svnadmin: command not found

I’ve been through the steps twice and continue to have the problem. I notice there are not many files in my bin folder, so I think I have the exact same comment mike did. But unfortunately going through the steps again didn’t solve it.

Any suggestions or ideas why the commands are not getting installed into the bin folder?

Hey Guys,

For those of you trying to find a work around for multiple users on Bluehost (or any shared hosting) I was able to somewhat successfully follow the instructions from this site:

http://www.ebswift.com/wiki/wikka.php?wakka=SubversionFTP

It has you mount your FTP site to a local drive letter and uses TortoiseSVN to connect to the remote repository through this virtual drive.

I wasn’t able to get NetDrive to work but I did get WebDrive to work, though it is not free and am currently using the trial version.

Also, I’m not sure if this will allow unique user information from within subversion itself but, at least you can have unique FTP logins

Finally, if anyone finds a free “WebDrive” software that works (I didn’t have any luck with FTPDrive or SFTPDrive) could you post it here?

-Mike

Mark,

Thanks for the link. After some digging around I found out that Neon requires extra information in a64-bit environment. I found a short tutorial on the Bluehost forum that can be found here:

http://www.bluehostforum.com/showpost.php?p=51455&postcount=19

It worked like a charm for me.

Thanks again.

Ryan,
Try this: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/fedora-35/fedora-7-64bit-usrliblibexpat.so-could-not-read-symbols-file-in-wrong-format-563541/

I know it’s not specifically about svn, but it might work anyway. Looks like it’s some sory of 32bit vs 64 bit issue.
