Setting up Subversion and Tortoise SVN(Code Management) on Windows Network

Note:For Windows Vista and above use Admin mode to run command Command Prompt.

To Install Subversion and Tortoise SVN you need to setup a server and a client(They both can be same computer).

#Setting up Server:-

At server runs a software called as subversion.Download latest release from

http://subversion.apache.org/download/#recommended-release


and install the same

Creating a repository:

At the command prompt(use admin mode for Vista and above) fire the following command

svnadmin create C:\MyRepo

where c:\Myrepo is the path to your repository you can change it to your taste

Modifying security and Authentication:

Navigate to your directory(c:\MyRepo in my case) you will find a bunch of folders over there.

Open "Conf" folder.
Open "svnserve.conf" and uncomment(remove # before) following lines

[general]
anon-access=read
auth-access=write
password-db=passwd

save the file and open "passwd" file in same folder.

$username=$password

In this format start entering usernames & password under [Users]

eg. John=testing

save it once you are done configuring Now its time to create a windows service as follows

Creating a windows service:

SC create svnserve binpath= "c:\Program Files\subversion\bin\svnserve.exe --service --root \"C:\MyRepo\"" displayname="Subversion" depend=tcpip start=auto.

click on start->run open services.msc find "Subversion" service and start the same

[If it fails check the path of svnserve.exe in your case also check the repository folder is same as created.Check the properties of the service it should show thw path to svnserve.exe check that path and path of that service under subversion in program files].

#At the client

At the client we need a client software to communicate with subversion service.
We will be using Tortoise SVN you can use plugin's available for your IDE's and many more available online

Download Tortise SVN from
http://tortoisesvn.net/downloads.html

And install the same once done right click on your desktop go to Tortoise-Svn->Repobrowser and enter url as follows

SVN://ip of your server

for same machine's as server and client use svn://localhost

If it connects BINGO! successfully connected if not check folder repository again

Add
PHP
PHP Zend Framework
PHP Documentor Tag Help

PHP adds general PHP libraries which are required for core PHP Development

phpDocumentor tags are very similar to tags for the JavaDoc tool for Sun's Java Programming Language they are used to add function headers basic snippet's to the code a must for Rapid Application Development

Others add libraries related to specific frameworks

once they are added you need to add specific file types to be recognized by Netbeans.
To add the same go to tools options and then select Miscellaneous tab and select Files subtab
Add a new extension and select its the way it should be recognized
