SVN + Trac

FragMaster B · #1 12-18-2007, 04:13 PM

I just noticed that HostGator has SVN support! How did I miss that!?

This is wonderful news!

Any chance we can get Trac to go along with that. Trac is a wonderful compliment to SVN.

I have several sites with HostGator and I've recommended several other people too. But I still have to use another service for my Trac/SVN hosting.

I wish I could go 100% hostgator...

They have SVN support so you can take files from a repository

But you cannot run a repo from a HG shared account

FragMaster B · #3 12-18-2007, 04:42 PM

Ah, I see. I guess I misread another thread.

gemblon · #4 12-18-2007, 08:47 PM

ack, i am confused. i want to set up subversion on this server, so i can use capistrano in ruby/rails. but i am not having any luck setting up the subversion. so i did an ssh and made a repo, called repos. now, i am using tortiose on windows, and can't figure out how to connect. and i been reading all kinds of docs on subversion. i am trying to connect with http://svn.jdlawdocs.com/repos .... and it does not work. and i tried a few suggested ports, and going through putty, and no luck? is this DO-ABLE? anything i need to do? any DO THIS then THAT manuals. i read and read manuals on subversion today, and i need a DO THIS and then THAT. ((( i can make it work locally )))

Are you trying Port 2222? Did you ticket support to grant you SSH access first?

gemblon · #6 12-18-2007, 09:35 PM

did not try port 2222. i did ticket for ssh. thanks, let me try this...

gemblon · #7 12-18-2007, 09:40 PM

thanks for the help. the repos directory is there.
i tried to browse the repo using:
http://svn.jdlawdocs.com:2222/repos

and some other combinations. no luck.

i get the error:

Error * PROPFIND request failed on '/repos' PROPFIND of '/repos': Could not read status line: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host. (http://svn.jdlawdocs.com:2222)

do i have to start a svn server somewhere? ???? ??? thanks again for the help....

gemblon · #8 12-18-2007, 10:17 PM

i have tried every port i could find on svn sites, and ton's of combinations of ways to get there. from opening up putty, to svn+ssh://name@puttyconnectionname, to http://svn.domain.com

ort/repos

and every other thing i could find.

slapshotw · #9 12-18-2007, 10:57 PM

Did support grant you SSH yet? Once you're into SSH over port 2222 (and you're in because support turned it on for your account), you'll get SVN access through there.

Jordanlw · #10 12-19-2007, 01:29 AM

So we can setup a public SVN?
(Eg. Accessible without using SSH)

Or is this just a private SSH SVN for our own projects..?
And is this possible on a shared webhosting account?

yes, i have ssh support. and access is through putty on port 2222.
and i used ssh to create the repository in a folder, called repos.
i used the svn command, from SSH, and i THINK it was SVN CREATE <FOLDER>.

i installed the collabnet program, which some instruction said to do 6n vista.

then, when trying to access/browse, using tortoiseSVN in Vista.
i tried EVERY option I could ever find, including svn, svn+ssh, http, and file:///
(putty was loaded when trying svn+ssh.)

i still can't browse the repos....

The SVN is really only for use with Ruby on Rails. It's not for a public-facing code repository.

No problem. There are a few subversion hosts you can use that cost a few dollars/month. Search the board a bit, some people (myself included) recommended a few specifically. They're quite cheap.

I've been using http://svnrepository.com/ for a while now.

You can use subversion through ssh on port 2222.

(this was done in cygwin but the process should be the same across most *NIX)

On the client you have to change ~/.subversion/config

Under [tunnels]
enter in:
<nameofsite>svn = ssh -p 2222

now when you want to list type in:
svn list svn+<NameOfSite>svn://<HostGatorUsername>@<NameOfSite>.com/<PathToYourRepo>

(i.e svn list svn+mysitesvn://myusername@mysite.com/home/myusername/SVNREPO)

You will have to type in your password. I am hoping that answered your question or at least helped someone somewhere

slapshotw · #17 02-15-2008, 06:42 PM

The SVN here is really only for Ruby on Rails. It's not a true workable subversion on the shared servers (last we heard).

humbler · #18 02-15-2008, 10:17 PM

?? seems to work for me ?? i just svned up my C#, python and C++ projects. You wont be able to use it as an anonymous/shared svn setup but it should work for personal use, which is all i need it for.

slapshotw · #19 02-16-2008, 12:27 PM

Good to hear. We had heard last time from staff that it's partially disabled, but I'm on a dedicated now with it configured fully so I'm not sure what changes they made on the shared servers.

Can you add extra users for browsing and commit privileges?

jjason · #20 09-17-2008, 10:22 PM

humbler, you friggin rock!!!

:-)

thanks!

and if you setup a trust in with your public key .ssh/authorized_keys on your server then you don't have to worry about entering in your pw (from that particular machine of course)

Has anyone been able to get TortoiseSVN working with Hostgator? I've tried the whole svn+ssh://<user>@<site>/home/<user>/repository and have had no success. I understand that Hostgator uses a nonstandard SSH port (2222), so I've modified my Tortoise [tunnels] to reflect that. But I still can't get this to work. (Hostgator has already enabled SSH for my account, and I can connect via Putty just fine.) Any hints?

ceruleancode · #22 12-03-2009, 09:52 AM

So I was here like two days back, went through most of the blogs on the planet to do this with HostGator. Finally wasted a half day to get it done by myself.

It works, HostGator can be setup with Trac and SVN and it's pretty fast as well. Thanks HostGator!

I've written my experience as a blog if another soul wants to survive. Please post your comments if you guys find it useful.
