Linux Server Administration

This is just a collection of notes for Clint as he administrates his server. It's hard to remember this things sometimes, so here is a cheat sheet so that I don't have to keep Googling "apache graceful" to figure out how to restart the web server.

Contents

Apache

Restart the server

apache2ctl graceful

Add a site

vi /etc/apache2/sites-available/default

SVN

[1]

Add a repository

su
svnadmin create /var/lib/svn/RepoName
chown -R www-data:www-data /var/lib/svn/RepoName
exit

Set svn:externals from the command line

From this page...

svn propset svn:externals 'akismet http://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/akismet/trunk' .
property 'svn:externals' set on '.'

To set multiple directory/url pairs in a single svn:externals property, you should put the individual dir/url pairs into a file (let's call it 'svn.externals'), like so

akismet http://svn.wp-plugins.org/akismet/trunk
all-in-one-seo-pack http://svn.wp-plugins.org/all-in-one-seo-pack/trunk

and then apply the property using

svn propset svn:externals -F svn.externals .

You should also just check in 'svn.externals' to easily keep track of it.
