How I setup Subversion, Apache, and Capistrono


sudo vi/etc/apache2/mods-enabled/dav_svn.conf
--
#Comment out the following 2 lines with your repo path
#DAV svn <-Comment out this
DAV svn

#SVNPath /var/lib/svn <-Comment out this
SVNPath /var/local/svn

You should deviate from the above configuration if you are using this for rails development because otherwise you will allow for anyone to see your database password from the database.yml file. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if Yahoo or Google crawls the web repository and make the password searchable.

From here, I followed these instructions to get Capistrano started.


On the client, check out the app

svn checkout svn://svnserver.com/app1 (enter user and pass as needed)
cd app1

capistranize the app:

cap --apply-to app1

Now, to set up the app for capistrano deployment, configure deploy.rb(see example below) appropriately with the correct paths, servers,restart method to restart apache, etc.


On the client,

rake remote:exec ACTION=setup

This will setup the base structure ${deploy_to}/releases /current /shared

current is a symlink to the most recent release/YYYYMMDDHHMMSS/ directory. shared contains shared logfiles etc.

That should do it!

example deploy.rb used for app1 (comments removed):

##########

 




  1. set :application, "app1"

  2. set :repository, "svn://svnserver.com/"

  3. role :web, "yourserver.com"

  4. role :app, "yourserver.com"

  5. role :db, "yourserver.com", :primary => true

  6. set :deploy_to, "/home/rails/application_path/"


  7. desc "Restart the web server"

  8. task :restart, :roles => :app do

  9. sudo "/usr/local/etc/rc.d/apache2.sh restart"

  10. end

PS: apache has to point to /home/rails/application_path/current/public for this to function properly.

And here is how I set up my svnserve script for /etc/init.d/svnserve. I didn't like trying to get inetd or xnetd to work. This is based off of the default one found in the same directory.
