browser path for svn

Question

I have a test project in SVN repository.

• How can I check it with different browsers like (IE,Firefox) so I can test it? I mean what would be a path / URL in web browser for testing the project.

• Is there any other method to check a project in web browser?

Answer 1

Subversion (by itself) does not deploy or build your project. It stores it in a repository, which you can view with various tools or web pages depending on configuration. The other answers give you ways of using a web browser to do that.

But to test your project (which I'm assuming is a website), you need to deploy it to a web server. Then just point your browser (whichever one you choose) to that web server (and path / subdomain / etc.) to test.

Answer 2

Trac contains a standalone web server and a super Subversion Repository Browser.

Answer 3

you should add it in /etc/httpd/conf.d/subversion.conf something like:

 <Location /svn <!--here is the path from browser-->>
   ...
   SVNPath /usr/local/svn/ <!--physical path-->

   ...
 </Location>

Answer 4

There is a special apache module for svn (using webdav) which allows to do that. Take a look at Configuring Apache for Subversion use

After that, you can enter into svn directory browser using:

http://[your svn server]/svn/

Answer 5

Subversion does not offer browser access by default. You will have to install something like ViewVC on your server.
