Run SVN repositories under IIS

How to setup IIS 7.0 to serve SVN repositories?

First of all I need to make possible remote users to checkout and web-based viewing isn't really necessary.

I tried to setup WebSVN but got no success: can't set parent folder for a number of repositories, can't switch off anonymous access, can't link non-anonymous access and access list.

Are there others products for SVN under IIS? Or it's better to learn how to setup WebSVN properly?

+1 A:

Do you really need IIS or will Apache work out ok? Visual SVN Server is a great SVN host and installer for Windows.

First of all I have already setuped and deployed web server under IIS. Also have Apache2 on port 8080 specially for SVN but want to run only one web server.

I tried VisualSVN too but got no success how to setup a number of separated repositories and a number of grouped repositories under some folder on the same server. I do this using mod_svn without problems!

Forgive my ignorance, but what is "grouped repositories"?

Lasse V. Karlsen 2010-01-29 22:35:32

Maybe I expressed obscure. I mean that there are a number of repos under one directory, e.g. Group1. I want to mention only it into config without mentioning all subdirs as repos. Because theirs number could be large.

@abatishchev, with the Visual SVN Server gui you can create any number of repositories you want. I am not familiar with "grouped repositories" though so can't help you there.

+2 A:

There are no server modules for IIS, you can't serve an SVN repository directly from IIS.

Serve a subversion repository through Apache, the built in svnserve, or proxy it via ssh.

There is a commercial solution available named SVNIsapi. But I have no idea how well it works because it's too expensive for me to even try out.

But why insist on using IIS? Just install the VisualSVN server, then configure WebSVN with that - WebSVN also works well with Apache.

Hi, Stefan. Thanks for tip. Indeed it's really too expensive - I'm looking for free solution. I want to find a SVN solution for IIS because I already use it as primary web server platform (for ASP.NET+ADO.NET) so run Apache on non-standard port and my idea was ti give up on it. But as far as I could understand it isn't possible at this time

According to a post in a forum I read, SVNIsapi lifted content from an alternative product called Sublime SVN. See my comment here for details. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/118205/how-can-i-publish-a-subversion-repository-to-a-local-iis/1900125#1900125
