Set up Tortoise SVN

[GarretMott]

Hi -

My experience with Plesk is that it's not happy with anything outside of what it thinks is "normal".

I'd like to set up Tortoise on our Windows server which has the 8.2 CP. I can't seem to find anything about doing this either in the KB or here on the forums.

Is this possible? If so - any pointers as to how I should proceed? I believe it will require the installation of SVNServe, but like Tortoise, I hesitate to run any kind of install for fear of blowing up Plesk.

Thanks!

Garret

Why wouldn't it be? Tortoise SVN is a client, not server, so you shouldn't have any issues.

But it requires SVNServe - which is a server, isn't it? Or am I missing something (which I often do ;-)

Thanks,

Garret

You're right. You can install subversion as long as you're not running Apache on your Windows server. The installation might get a little ticky but it can be done based on what I've read on the CollabNet site.

TortoiseSVN is the "client" application, and doesn't require any local "service" to function.

However, it sounds like you're wanting to install the SVN *server*, Subversion.

That might cause issues for you. I would recommend running it on a non-standard port, or removing one of your IP addresses from Plesk, and assigning that IP to Subversion. That way you can avoid any conflicts, and still have it run on port 80 as well. You might want to install it on a non-production server that's running IIS already first, too, so you can see what will need to be done in order to make it work correctly.

You're right - it is the server, duh... Trying to do too many things at once. Since this is a production server, I think I'll let this pass.

I appreciate all the responses!
