Setup an svn-versioned joomla installation

From LeonWiki!

Jump to: navigation, search
This is to setup a sandbox from an existing svn versioned joomla site
  • On the target machine
  • Create the directory where the installation will reside
  • cd to that directory and issue: svn co <svn repo>/<project name>
  • Edit configuration.php (live-site,db_name,db_user/password)
  • Edit .htaccess to set RewriteBase to any path beyond the domain name (the context)
  • Find/Replace on db backup sql file all domain names. For example, if there are any embedded links (and even if we don't embed the domain info, the editor sees fit to fill that in for us) we need to replace those with the correct domain name and the context, if any.
  • import the db to mysql
