I wanna copy files and folders from my svn repository on server, but I dont want to install svn client, can I do it without svn client?
PS server - linux (CentOS 5.5), svnadmin version 1.4.2 (r22196)compiled Aug 10 2009, 17:54:46.
UPD: files are already exported to server: I want to import files from svn repository to directory, where web-server runs. For example: svn repository located at /var/svn/repos, I wanna dump repository to /var/www, but in /var/svn/repos no files I needed.
PSS sorry for my bad english =\
The Subversion repository isn't in a readable format that you can peruse like you could with CVS. To read the files in the repository you need someone with a client somewhere.
If your Subversion repository uses Apache httpd for its server, you can use wget or curl to pull off the last revision on a specific directory since as an added bonus, the Subversion Apache httpd modules allow you to see the latest version.
$ wget http://svn/repos/foo/trunk/myfile.java
The other option is to use a Subversion repository browser like (ViewVC)[http://www.viewvc.org/] or Sventon. These will allow you to browse the entire repository (including older revisions) without having to install the Subversion client on the local machine. I like Sventon because it doesn't have to run from the Subversion repository server.
If you're on Centos 5.5, you should already have the Subversion command line client installed on your system. In that case, if you don't want the .svn directories, use the svn export command instead of svn checkout.
Or, setup your web server to ignore the .svn directories. That way, you can do an svn update and update the files on your web server without having to redownload everything.
Well, if you have physical access to the server you could use the Subversion client on that box to export files/folders and then copy them from the server to the client machine. If you're trying to do this purely from the client, the only way I can think of would be to manually download the file(s) from the web client but this will only work if you're using Apache as your Subversion server.
Unless the server has an HTTP interface (is the repository URL prefixed with http://? Just open it up in a web browser), no.
It might be simplest to export the files you want on the server (svn export file://repo/path/to/directory), then copy them to the client using http or scp or something.

After migrating svn repos from a server to another server, even I used "--force-uuid" in svnadmin load command, the passwd files of the repositories are empty.
All conf folder contents are empty.
Is there a way to migrate conf file properly?
Thanks for your help.
edit: from server's svn version is 1.6, to server's svn version is 1.7. is version difference causes a problem like this?

You must not use Subversion 1.7 or older versions. Upgrade to the latest 1.9.x.
I would recommend that you read the documentation before you perform any repository maintenance or administration tasks. SVNBook is a great resource of information about Subversion and version control in general. It will help you familiarize yourself with common terminology and concepts of SVN and version control.

Read SVNBook | Repository data migration using svnadmin:
The Subversion repository dump format describes versioned repository
changes only. It will not carry any information about uncommitted
transactions, user locks on filesystem paths, repository or server
configuration customizations (including hook scripts), and so on.
And note that UUID has nothing to do with your htpasswd file.
I have a node app running on production server ~/nodeapp
I am trying to turn /username/nodeapp to an SVN repos
Since this is running on live server!! here are the steps I took
Create a repo
svnadmin create ~/nodeapp.svn
Set permission
vi ~/nodeapp.svn/conf/svnserve.conf
and add the following:
anon-access = none
auth-access = write
password-db = passwd
Import ~/nodeapp into the ~/nodeapp.svn
svn import ~/nodeapp file:///home/nodeapp.svn
Finally Rename Folders
mv ~/nodeapp ~/nodeapp.bak
mv ~/nodeapp.svn ~/nodeapp
nodeapp should now be under version control.. however pages are not loading
when I
cd ~/nodeapp && node app.js
What am I doing wrong. Why is node under SVN Repo not working
Subversion repositories are nothing like git repositories, which it looks like you're trying to emulate here. You cannot run your Node app directly out of the Subversion repository.
Instead, you need to have your repository elsewhere (on the filesystem or on a Subversion server elsewhere). Commit your code to the repository and check out a working copy to ~/nodeapp for your application to run.
You really need to read the Subversion manual, and pay special attention to the "Version Control the Subversion Way" section. Also, the FAQ entry about running a website with the code managed by Subversion may be helpful
Running a centos 6 server with svn repos stored on it. To deploy updates, I'd like to copy from the relevant directory within the svn repo to the appropriate /var/www website directory. Is there a simple way to do this?
Use the svn export command to do that. The subversion red book explains in detail how to do that.
When the relevant svn repo is stored under /export/svn/repo, and the part of the repository you want to copy from is /trunk/my_project/news, the whole command will be:
svn export file:///export/svn/repo/trunk/my_project/news /var/www/news
i have a CVS Repository in Solaris machine, now i want to move this repository to anathor CVS server in anathor machine, can anyone please tell me the steps to migrate the CVS repository to the new CVS server. existing server is running in extssh protocol and i want to move it to Pserver protocol.
CVS is a very simple environment. To move the repository over, just copy the files that are in the repository. If you like, tar it up, copy the tar to the new machine, and untar it. Most of the per-directory configuration will be stored along with the rest of the files in the tarball.
The parts of the configuration that are not included within the repository will need to be set up according to the instructions for setting up CVS on your target platform, whatever that is.
I'm trying to switch from a windows environment to Linux. I'm primarily PHP developer, but I do know quite a bit about other languages such as CSS, XHTML and Javascript. I need a way of editing my files locally because I work in a git repository and need to commit my saves. On windows I used Aptana and PDT. I'd save my files, upload via Aptana, then commit my work with git.
I need to get a work flow going on my Linux machine now. If you know a better way to do this let me know, however my real question is, is there a plugin that allows gedit to upload files instead of working remotely?
git was designed for distributed development and works well as a mechanism for deploying code to a web server.
On your Linux PC, git clone your git repository url. Edit and commit locally and then git push the changes to the git repository. Then, if you have shell access on the server, use git pull to copy the changes to your server.
To ftp sync, you could set up a branch, ftpbranch, that corresponds to what is on the server, and then each time you want to sync ftpbranch with master:
filestoput=`git diff --name-only master ftpbranch`
Now upload the files:
for f in $filestoput; do curl --ftp-create-dirs -T $f ftp://serverurl
Now update ftpbranch indicating these files have been copied to the server:
git checkout ftpbranch; git merge master; git checkout master
When using linux, you can mount the ftp server to a local folder, then opening and save file from that folder will automatically download and upload the file to ftp server.
If you use ubuntu, just click on Places > Connect To Server.... Choose FTP in Service Type dropdown, fill in the required info, then don't forget to bookmark it.
After this, you can open the file directly in any text editor, not just gedit. I would recoment geany for serious programming editor, because it have a lot of neat feature, almost same with Notepad++ in Windows.
But, since you already using git, why not just use git push to get the update and git pull to upload the update? I have long since uploading manually to my server. Git do all the work for me, synchronizing it between servers. Any particular reason why you still need ftp?
