awebfactory - web application factory pattern

Edit: Solved! Thanks to the comments of several people, I was able to find the magic sequence of steps necessary to fix my specific situation:

Well, after realizing the limitations of shared hosting for Drupal development, I decided to go with the big boys and use a dedicated server or VPS solution, at least for development. So I can make a multisite install for the docs and I can make subdomains for each development site.

In Synaptic I installed cogito (and therefore git), and gitk (gui).

I'm going to follow the advice on the Git Cogito page:

If you want to start to use Git and are considering Cogito, the best way to go about it is to first learn Cogito, then pick up Git commands if you need to do something extraordinary.

The objective is to install subversion on my Ubuntu Dapper desktop in order to support version control for day to day projects.

Will use Apache 2 as uniform access control for security reasons, and in order to make this box a subversion server in my home office network.

Installation with Synaptic

• subversion package
• libapache2-svn package

Create repository

victorkane@mentor:~$ sudo mkdir /var/lib/svn
Password:
victorkane@mentor:~$ sudo svnadmin create --fs-type fsfs /var/lib/svn

Create password file

victorkane@mentor:~$ sudo htpasswd2 -cm /etc/apache2/dav_svn.passwd victor
New password:
Re-type new password:
Adding password for user victor
victorkane@mentor:~$

Apache 2 HTTP Server configuration

/etc/apache2/mods-enabled/dav_svn.conf:

First off, see Viva Vim 7! (installing on Ubuntu Dapper) .

Second off, see Konqueror with Midnight Commander theme on Ubuntu . Now we're all on the same page, with Konqueror (in all its variations) and Vim 7 installed.

Also assumed here is the installation of the ExuberantCtags package, so that ctags can be generated for ruby, php, python, perl, and a host of other languages (see ExuberantCtags) as well as the C language. On my Ubuntu box installation was straightforward with Synaptic.
