    Help Setting Up SVN Server

    I would like to setup a SVN server within our network so our Axure users can get to the various shared projects and we can maintain better user control over the project files and directories. I have the SVN server ready to install but can someone please post some good instruction for using a SVN server with Axure. So far the only information about this is here. If this is not necassary and there is another way please reply. We have used PVCS Version Manager in the past for HTML code but from what I can tell there is not a Version Manager plug-in yet.

    Thank you!

    Re: Help Setting Up SVN Server

    Hello. Once you have the SVN server running, you can create a folder on the server using SVN to store your Axure RP Shared Projects. Then using Axure RP you can create projects in that folder using File->New Shared Project or Share->Create Shared Project from Current File.

    If you'd like to try shared projects before setting up the server, you can also store shared projects on a network drive without an SVN server. The advantage of using the SVN server is better performance and the ability to connect to it remotely. Using VPN to connect to a network drive for shared projects can be very slow.

    Once the project is created, it works pretty much the same whether it's on a server or network drive (http://www.axure.com/p401_1.aspx).

    If you don't need the individual page check in's and out's of shared projects, .rp files can be stored in any source control system.

    We don't have a more thorough guide for setting up and managing an SVN server. Does anyone know of a good resource for this outside of this book: http://svnbook.red-bean.com/
