Thanks, that helped. I don't know where I got the idea that I had no
apache user. I do, and it was just a question of making him owner of
the repository.
However, we now come to the next hurdle.
In chapter 5 of the SVN book, it recommends importation of an initial
layout, in which each root project directory has three subdirectories,
/project/trunk, /project/branches, and /project/tags.
I do this, and then I import my actual source tree. But there seems to
be no relation between this and the three "layout folders". That is,
after the import command
# svn import myproj http://localhost/svn/myproj -m 'Initial Load'
I see this:
Revision 2: /myproj
* ..
* WebRoot/
* branches/
* src/
* tags/
* trunk/
In other words the source code appears in branches that are peers of
these original "layout" folders, not underneath them. Clicking through
the src and WebRoot directories does bring up the source code. Is this
what I should have? If so, then I don't understand the function of the
branches, tags, and trunk directories. If not, what is the proper
import command to import the source tree?
Thanks
