If you’re anything like me, and you have gotten your Subversion server up and running, you’ve probably forgotten a few of the key steps of setting up another repository. Now, admittedly, I could simply create a Subversion folder called “Repositories” in my main Subversion repository, and put new projects inside of that when I want to add another. However, I feel there is value in keeping a certain level of autonomy for each project within Subversion. Very often there are individuals who you want involved with one project, but not on another. This way it seems simpler to keep the right people involved with any given project, as well as keeping your projects organized. After all, this is why you started using Subversion in the first place, isn’t it? Here is the process I use when making a new Subversion project repository. Please note that at this point I have only really used Subversion for only about 3 months total.

Not sure exactly why things are different here, but I have two servers running on various ports. This one (Dell piece of crap running Linux) has Apache listening on 80 and 443. The other server, an Apple Powerbook running OS X 10.4 is running a subversion server, and it’s listening on port 443. The problem is that when I restart, apache doesn’t restart on it’s own. (Haven’t configured that yet, darnit). So, the other day when I had to restart the lappy, I spent the better part of a day trying to get it up and running again. Unfortunately, I forgot one extremely vital snippet of information:

HTTPD -k start -DSSL

When I got it configured the first time, my friend and I scoured through the online resource pages for Apache, and found this info for starting up Apache with SSL. The confusion? My other server I simply have the “Listen 443″ directive in my httpd.conf file for Apache. Anyone know the reason why this is different on my Apple server, or how I can configure it similarly? Any help would be appreciated. And a little piece of advice, if your time is of any worth to you: remember to write this crap down!
