ubuntu as server

[alain.muls at telenet.be]

Hi,

I want to use Ubuntu as a server for document sharing and for subversion.

      * I want to do document sharing using iFolder, I suppose this is the way to go when I and my colleague want to share documents. I did not find a debian package for the iFolder server or the client, so I downloaded on the server the SimpleServer iFolder source code which I compiled. When starting the SimpleServer I encountered 2 problems: (a) running as normal user, I did not have permission to go into the /home/user/.local directory. This was easily solved by changing the ownership form root to user. But I asked the question, should I run this service as root or as user, and how to start at boot automagically this service?. (b) when launching the SimpleServer I now get the error that there is no port available. On what port does the simpleserver connect and how to enable this at boottime

      * subversion was installed using apt-get with no problem, but how do I configure it? I can only find info about doing this through Apache, but this is not the way I want it to be. I want subversion to keep its repositories in a file structure instead of the Berkeley DB and I want to use this service without Apache.

I did google around but I cannot find the documentation or howto. 

Tx for any help

Best regards,
