Create an SVN Server on Windows

Introduction

What is SVN?

SVN stands for Subversion. It is a version control system that allows multiple users to work on the same project simultaneously without overwriting each other's changes. It tracks changes to files and directories over time, allowing users to revert to previous versions if necessary.

Steps to Create an SVN Server on Windows

1. Install SVN Server

To install the SVN server on Windows, download the latest version of the SVN server from the Apache Subversion website and run the installer.

2. Create a Repository

Once the SVN server is installed, create a directory on your computer where you want to store your versioned data. This directory will serve as the repository for your SVN server.

3. Initialize the Repository

To initialize the repository, open a command prompt and navigate to the directory you created in step 2. Then, run the following command:

``` svnadmin create ```

4. Configure the Server

Next, you need to configure the SVN server to listen on a specific port. Open the file svnserve.conf located in the conf subdirectory of the SVN server installation directory. Add the following line to the file:

``` listen ``` Replace with the port number you want the SVN server to listen on.

5. Start the Server

To start the SVN server, open a command prompt and navigate to the SVN server installation directory. Then, run the following command:

``` svnserve -d ``` This will start the SVN server in the foreground. You can also start the server as a service by running the following command:

``` svnserve -service -d ```
