But now, I want to do same again with devArea and my local-Copy. Maybe youve got some hints for me? Is this possible? I'm wondering because of the svn Files, will they be versioned then, too? Thank you Hi,

It appears that I'd forgotten two important characters: the backslash on the period and the dash before the [F]. I've updated the main post to reflect this. Michael,

RewriteRule (^|/)\.svn(/|$) - [F] This seems to work for me. I'm not sure why... No, now I know. I was testing on http://example.com/.svn, which would show up in the rewrite rule as '.svn', which /\.svn/ doesn't match. Silly me ;) Incidentally, the solution was found at http://svn.haxx.se/users/archive-2005-05/1122.shtml. Now I'll run along and play elsewhere ;) Michael Well, I found it…

RewriteRule (^|/)\.svn(/|$) - [F]

This seems to work for me. I’m not sure why…

No, now I know. I was testing on http://example.com/.svn, which would show up in the rewrite rule as ‘.svn’, which /\.svn/ doesn’t match. Silly me ;)

The rule RewriteRule .svn [F] is more properly written (I think) RewriteRule \.svn - [F] Also, this will block files matching *.svn*. In other words, it will block blah.svn and .svnblah as well as /.svn/blah. Granted, that's not terribly likely, but it is possible. I'm currently looking for a solution because, on my host at least, RewriteRule /\.svn/ - [F] doesn't do anything. I haven't figured out why yet, and so that's how I came across your page. The weird thing is that RewriteRule /\.whammo/ - [F] works. This may be because .whammo doesn't exist, but I don't know. Anyway, if I find an answer, I'll post back here. And maybe by then I'll have a blog running ;) Michael I have a cavaet on your .svn rewrite rule. The rule

I figured it out. Was just confused by the wording in step two, but you are using ~ in the same sense as other linux distros. Thanks for the tutorial, btw. The only one like it that I've seen. ^^ that guy again.

In redhat, '~' indicates the home directory. Should ~/svn_import be on the home directory or be within the docroot of the web, ie /home/usr/www/svn_import as opposed to /home/usr/svn_import?

Frequently, such directories are owned by a special user so scripts within can be executed through the web server.

I'm a little new with *NIX. thanks sam Great article!!!

I'm looking to use Subversion for revision control on my employer's intranet (a few dozen apps) as well as a few personal websites. I've been wondering how to take the web architecture and fit it into Subversion in a clean and maintainable manner. Do you have any references for other articles that help with deploying web apps specifically, with Subversion? Thanks again.. Thanks for the tips and instructions.
