I had a few projects that I was carrying from home to work either via zip files uploaded to my web server, on a usb stick and once or twice on a DVD (My whole Eclipse workspace).
A little stupid.
So, great idea, install Subversion on my web server. We have subversion running on Media Temple at work and it runs well. First thing, check out what Media Temple say about Subversion on there servers, here.
Media Temples step by step tutorial seemed pretty straight forward. But was not quite working… by not quite working I mean unable to connect from any Subversion client (I was using Subclipse and also Tortoise on my Parallels XP machine).
So I asked Google. Google came back with some very helpful links. The best being from Kieth Peters (Bit 101). Kieth’s post exposes a few points that are key in getting subversion up and running on Media Temples Grid Server.
So yes… This post is just a big massive glorified link to Kieth’s post. Check the comments out, as there are a few good points there also. One of the best things to take from the comments on Kieth’s post is:
svn+ssh://<your-domain-name>/home/<your-mediatemple-server-id>/data/svn/<your-reponame>
The above will get you connected in Eclipse/Subclipse, where it says <your-mediatemple-server-id> this is without the letter s. From there you can setup your preferred subversion structure.
