Subversion on my dedicated (managed) box

Post by Luke »

We have a dedicated box over at (somehost) (and they have been excellent). I have been trying to get them to set up subversion on the box (or allow me to), but they are afraid it will have adverse effects on Plesk. I dont see how it possibly could. I think they think they will need to allow it on a per-domain basis, but I dont think thats necessary. I would like all users on the box to have subversion available in ssh. This way I can export my svn repositories into a local directory any time I need w/out having to do that locally and then upload with ftp.

Does anybody see there being any issues here? Are they being paranoid or am I being ignorant?

I don't see how it would effect Plesk? Have then just never installed it before?

If it is a dedicated box, aren't you supposed to install and run whatever you want?

Yeah, It's hard to believe that a serious hosting company on a managed server won't let you install SVN. Maybe it's time to changed companies...

Well they are actually a fantastic host and we've been really happy with them. I dont have the time to be a server admin (or the patience), so it works out really well for me. They just haven't had any customers who wanted subversion before I guess.

I have a managed VPS with servInt. Up until now, every little thing I wanted done, they did with no questions asked (PHP and apache upgrades, SVN, Phing, Zend Platform, you name it). SVN is pretty basic for development nowadays...
