help in installing pear packages for SVNMANAGER

Post by priyanka84 »

Hi folks,

I am a complete new comer to SVNMANAGER . I am trying hard to get it running on my Windows xp system .(I have successfully set up of collabnet subversion server 1.5 running on apache 2.2.)
Dependencies of SVNMANAGER :PHP and pear have also been installed sucessfully .

I have been following instructions on http://www.derangedcoder.net/programmin ... Subversion
I could manage to get up the page http://localhost/phpinfo.php .But post activating PHP's svn binding (php_svn.dll )
I am unable to see a section titled svn in the phpinfo.php page (i did restart the server)

Also the command : pear.bat install --alldeps VersionControl_SVN-alpha throws an error messsage
No releases available for package "pear.php.net/VersionControl_SVN"
Cannot initialize 'channel://pear.php.net/VersionControl_SVN-alpha', invalid or
missing package file
Package "channel://pear.php.net/VersionControl_SVN-alpha" is not valid
install failed

I have downloaded the code for VersionControl_SVN-0.3.1(winrar) but unable to install the package thru command line.
on searching thru net..i came upon phing (swear dnt have an idea abt it!)
On trying to installl phing by command line but the o/p of command : pear channel-discover pear.phing.info is -----

Discovery of channel "pear.phing.info" failed (channel-add: Cannot open "http://
pear.phing.info/channel.xml" (Connection to `pear.phing.info:80' failed: php_net
work_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: No such host is known. ))

Dont know where I am going wrong.. I have downloaded teh phing-2.3.3.zip as well.. but not aware as how to install the same.
I am really stuck up here and dont know how to proceed.. seeking of help desperately.. there is no clear instructions available as to how to install the
pear package on windows.I swear to compile a complete guide for SVNMANAGER installtion post my success.

Please help!!!!

Sorry, I wish I could say "just put a A before that last command and it should work fine", but troubleshooting problems like that are a Pain.

If you just want SVN for your own use.... I prefer GIT (and gitgui), as it's serverless, and doesn't leave a zillion .svn directories all over the place (although git works GREAT for big groups, it doesn't have as much support for other tools as svn does). It just creates a single .git directory in the base folder of your project and works great. It is the "prefered" source and version control manager of the linux kernel guys (Linus Travold invented git).

I would just use git instead: http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/

Wish I could help,

Joey
