Visual SVN host remotely

Question

I am currently using subversion with visual SVN to manage and host my repo across my local subnet. i.e.

https://WIN-NU2CCXWBFDF/svn/

How can I configure Visual SVN to host outside of my subnet, i.e.

https://www.mysite.com/svn

Answer 1

There are a couple of ways, the easiest and most popular way to set it up using mod_svn which will host a SVN repo using DAV (I'm assuming you're using apache here). I use this setup myself under http://svn.mccoalition.net/ and it works wonders. You can also use svnserv as a quick way to host, although I personally prefer hosting through apache.

There's a quick guide here for ubuntu, just follow step #2.

Answer 2

1. Start VisualSVN Server Manager
2. Open context menu for root node and choose Properties
3. Switch to Network property page
4. Enter "www.mysite.com" in server name edit box.

I assume that you properly configured your DNS to point www.mysite.com to your server.
