[bluehost] Installing svn in Bluehost

These are the latest steps i did for configuring svn in bluehost (Thanks for the help of other blogs)

You need SSH access to your account

SSH account can be obtained from the hosting providers.

In order to enable SSH for your account,

1. you must either fax or email a copy of your photo ID (i.e., driver's license, passport, etc.)
2. Please create a ticket from out helpdesk or Fax it to (1-801-765-1992).
3. Please include the domain name for this account if Faxing this information.



Now lets setup the svn in the server all you need is to follow the steps

1. Login into your account via terminal using ssh and create a directory [src (is what i used)] to store all of the source

mkdir src
cd src



2. Download the sources from the svn website as (i have used 1.6.5 as it was the latest one at that
time you can replace of your own choice)

wget http://subversion.tigris.org/downloads/subversion-1.6.5.tar.bz2
wget http://subversion.tigris.org/downloads/subversion-deps-1.6.5.tar.bz2



3. Untar the packages as

tar -xjvf subversion-1.6.5.tar.bz2
tar -xvjf subversion-deps-1.6.5.tar.bz2



4. Lets configure the dependencies before going to install

cd subversion-1.6.5
cd apr
./configure --enable-shared --prefix=$HOME
make
make install



configure apr-util as

cd ../apr-util
./configure --enable-shared --prefix=$HOME --with-expat=builtin --with-apr=$HOME
make
make install



configure neon as

cd ../neon
export EXTRA_CFLAGS="-L/usr/lib64 -fPIC"
export CFLAGS="-L/usr/lib64 -fPIC"
./configure --enable-shared --prefix=$HOME --with-libs=$HOME
make
make install



5. Install the svn as below

cd ..
./configure --prefix=$HOME --with-apr=$HOME --with-apr-util=$HOME --with-neon=$HOME \
--without-apxs --without-apache --without-serf
make
make install



6. Now svn got installed and will be accessible in following steps
before that edit the .bash_profile

Change
PATH=$PATH
as
PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin

Now if you give svn --version you get the Following
