Update Subversion

After you update Subversion you must also update Apache (see the next section). Be sure you plan enough time to do both updates.

  1. Visit http://www.apachehaus.com/cgi-bin/download.plx and download

    Mod Subversion 1.9.7 for Apache 2.4.x x64.

  2. Unpack the ZIP archive to some temporary folder.

  3. Stop the Polarion and Apache servers.

  4. Stop the existing Svnserve windows service if it is running.

    (Ctrl +Alt +Delete → Task Manager → Services tab → Right click on Svnserve and click Stop Service.)

  5. Back up folders $POLARION_HOME$\bundled\apache and $POLARION_HOME$\bundled\svn

  6. Delete the following files:

    1. All files within the $POLARION_HOME$\bundled\svn folder.

      (But do not delete the folder itself.)

    2. From folder $POLARION_HOME$\bundled\apache\bin\ …

      intl3_svn.dll

      libdb48.dll

      libsvn_*.dll

    3. From folder $POLARION_HOME$\bundled\apache\modules\ …

      mod_authz_svn.so

      mod_dav_svn.so

  7. Copy content of the folder within the unpacked temp folder from step two to

    $POLARION_HOME$\bundled\svn, so that there is a folder

    $POLARION_HOME$\bundled\svn\bin.

  8. Copy the following files in the $POLARION_HOME$\bundled\svn\bin\ … folder...

    mod_authz_svn.so

    mod_dav_svn.so

    …to the $POLARION_HOME$\bundled\apache\modules\ folder.

  9. Copy the following files…

    $POLARION_HOME$\bundled\svn\bin\libsvn_*.dll

    …to the $POLARION_HOME$\bundled\apache\bin folder.

  10. (Optional). Update Apache.
