Re: hook deployment script [trying svn up]

so this line: (including the correct paths)
   
  "C:\Path\To\svn.exe C:\Documents\MyWebSite"

  in the hook script is all I need for working copies from developers to transfer over to the webserver automatically?
   
  The hook file should be in the hooks directory of the repository and in this case should be and executable say changing it to 'post-commit.exe' woud execute it?
   
  I'll give this a shot.

So you have a working copy on the server somewhere, which is used to
serve the web site. Your web server's configuration files point at
this working copy. The working copy is in, let's say, C:\Documents
\MyWebSite, because you ran, say, "svn checkout $REPO/path/to/
mywebsite/trunk C:\Documents\MyWebSite"

Then your post-commit hook should contain the line "C:\Path\To
\svn.exe C:\Documents\MyWebSite"
