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
