Hi, I have installed svn on my mediawiki server. I'm able to access the svn repository through the browser. However, what are the settings that are required to map a local drive to the svn repository? I have a linux server. How to map a local drive on windows OS the svn repository( on the linux server) using the "map network drive" option. I guess I have to set the svnrepository to share. I am not so sure how to do this. Can anyone provide me with directions to achieve this? Thanks Sirisha

You generally don't need file access to the repository to work with it. You should do a checkout (via http:, https: or svn: protocol). Direct file access to network-based repositories is not recommended.
Why do you want direct file access to the repository?
This was a request from the project partners. I understand it is not safe to give access to the repository to be able to be mapped. Instead, giving them a space on the server using Samba may fulfil their need?

Is it possible to have a shared folder in the mediawiki folder and set this as a network share folder, So that users can map this folder to a local drive and copy the data which can also be referenced in the wiki pages?

Everyday is an oppurtinity to make a new happy ending :)
Hi Sirisha,
We had our SVN repo on a Linux box and most of our devs use Windows. We usually use TortoiseSVN to access the stuff in the repository and that works pretty well for us.
Good luck, -Courtney
Thanks All for the responses. I had created a shared folder and installed Samba. This is what the project partners really wanted. I was confused with the statement when they asked me how to map "svn" to a local drive. Since I'm new to this wiki project.
