I’ve been having trouble getting Subversion working on the new server. Every time I would try to install the RPM, it was conflicting with something already installed. Every time I would try using yum, I wouldn’t have a good installation source. Every time I would try using up2date, well, I don’t even know what the problem with that is. I have sent in a trouble ticket to EV1 and hopefully that will resolve the up2date issue, but we’ll see if that’s even helpful.
In any case, I managed to download the Subversion source and compile it and install it, and now SVN is running on the server. Unfortunately, I can’t build the mod_dav_svn module because my Apache version is a little screwy, hence my waiting for EV1’s reply on the up2date trouble ticket. Still, I can now do WordPress updates as easily on the new server as the old one. Yay!
As far as other progress goes, I’ve managed to get new IPs assigned to the DNS server, and when the new subdomains resove to those IPs I’ll start moving domain pointers over to the new system. After that, it’s just a matter of iceberg speed file migration. Whee!
Anyway, I was excited about the SVN compile. You probably won’t be. You are probably wondering at this point why you bothered reading this whole thing.
