Hi all,
I want to set up a Subversion server installation on Windows Server 2003 64-bit and I'm considering using VisualSVN Server. Does this work OK in a 64-bit environment? Are there any issues or gotchas I should be aware of before installing the software?
Many thanks!
Whilst I'm not using VisualSVN directly, I am running SubVersion (which VisualSVN consumes) on w2003 64 without any problems.
VisualSVN 1.5.1 works on Vista 64 bits. You can get some update here for Vista if you experiment some problem, but you should be fine.
Ive been using VisualSVN Server on W2K3 x64 on one of our MS SQL 2005 boxes with no problems at all for over a month now. I followed the installation guide and have had no issue at all with either the server code or the integrated Apache server.
I'm gonna try it on Win 2008 R2 64bit, will let you know. Also want to deploy Trac and/or Redmine there, as well.
Okay guys, i got it all working. So, install VisualSVN. Bbelieve me or not i installed 2.0.8 and after few hours got a message from RSS there is new version - 2.1, so i made an update (at least was able to check the update process, all went just fine). Then install Ruby (i got 1.8.6), then Gems (1.3.1 is req, but i got 1.3.5) When you got Ruby and gems, enter cmd and enter: gem install rails -v=2.3.5 then: gem install rack -v=1.0.1
then i got latest Redmine trunk. Installed MySQL 5.0 (5.1 is not supported), create new DB (via shell or gui tools), redmine user and it's privileges.
Then: gem install mysql + copy http://instantrails.rubyforge.org/svn/trunk/InstantRails-win/InstantRails/mysql/bin/libmySQL.dll to ruby/bin
edit config file for redmine and run rack webserver... al should be working. I had one problem, i was not able to see the repository in newly created redmine project.
Solution - redmine.org/boards/2/topics/show/723
Mine config looks like: SVN_BIN = "svn --trust-server-cert --non-interactive --config-dir c:/Repositories"
So now all is working. My next step, move svn repo from ald pc to that new. Done :)
