temp mantis SVN enviroment setup instructions

Written by

This is what I did to get mantis to work with SourceSVN

  • Create folder D:\Documents\Developer\

Install Subversion

  • Install CollabNet Subversion Edge D:\Documents\Developer\SubversionEdge\
  • Create a Normal User and assign it to the ‘Test’ repositories - shoulders

Install Xampp

  • Install xampp - D:\Documents\Developer\xampp\
  • Change xampp ports (optional)

    To prevent issues with my other webservers I use for development. It is easier to reconfigure the one sever that is not going to get changed.

    • Apache
      • Httpd.conf
        • Listen 80 –> 81
        • ServerName localhost:80 -> :81
    • Httpd-ssl.conf
      • Listen 443 –> 444
      • <VirtualHost _default_:443> -> <VirtualHost _default_:444>
  • Mysql –my.ini
    • [client] port = 3306 – 3307
    • [mysqld] port=3306 - 3307
  • Php.ini - if you do not change this you get a #2002 – connection actively reused error
    • mysql.default_port=3306 – 3307
    • mysqli.default_port=3306 - 3307

Install Mantis

  • create a table in PHPMyadmin called mantis using utf8_general_ci collation
  • set a username and password ; mantis : YFb5fNTtmXsFHpBP, grant all privileges on the mantis SQL table
  • setup mantis, install with MySQLi – it is quicker of connecting
    • Nb you need a MySQL root account to install. This might change in a newer version. Stupid, I had to use root and not password
    • Default username/password: administrator / root
    • Renamed default user to mantis-admin
    • Delete the admin folder ( I renamed it just in case)
  • Run mantis
  • Create a normal user – if more than one user - shoulders
  • Install Source Integration Plugin and SourceSVN
  • Config settings I changed
    • Bug Fixed Message Template – I added everything in ?
    • API Key – added my random generated key here
    • SVN: Path to binary - D:\Documents\Developer\SubversionEdge\bin also “D:\Documents\Developer\SubversionEdge\bin” might be valid when there are spaces in the path
    • SVN: Trust All SSL Certs – ticked, allows me to use a self-signed cert whilst being secure
    • SVN: Use Windows `start` - I believe you need this when using windows. ?

Create Repository

  • Goto mantis/repositories
  • Type in ‘test’ for name and select SVN for type
  • Click create repository
  • Fill in the following details, leave the rest
    • Name – prefilled - Test
    • URL – this is the front facing url for the repository
      https://svn.exampleserver.com:18080/svn/
    • SVN Username – don’t use the super admin, you might consider a repository specific username here
    • SVN Password
    • Standard Repository – tick
    • Click ‘update repository’
    • Click ‘import everything’

This is far as I got, more errors and bugs. Mantis is free but needs a serious GUI upgrade
