Restore SVN server from files

2012-03-19 Thread Alin ILIE

Hello everyone,

I had a RAID 5 storage, and I used to have a SVN server on this. 
Unfortunately the RAID layout failed. I succeeded to the data from my 
server including the folder where I created the SVN repositories.
Now that I have the files from repositories, what is the correct plan 
for re-installing the SVN server in a different location?


Thank you,
Alin ILIE

The backup transfer to a different machine did not worked, and I didn't 
notice this. :(


Got it !
1) Install SVN on a new linux server
2) Configure SVN
3) Place the files recovered in the place where I defined repositories 
home in the step 2
4) If I will change the server URL, I have to run svn relocate or svn 
switch --relocate according to the version that I will have on the new 
server.


MANY THANKS,
Alin

Note up front: Backup. SVN will not save you from the possibility of 
data loss, just as your RAID didn't.


Now, in order to get the repos back online, just install an according 
server (svnserve or Apache) and configure it so that it can find the 
repos. Basically, you follow the instructions to set up a server but 
skip the step where you create the repositories.


If the name of the machine changed or the URL where it serves the 
repositories, all working copies will have become unusable, you will 
have to tell them about the changed server URL with "svn relocate" 
(SVN 1.7) or "svn switch --relocate" (SVN <= 1.6).
