phpEasyVCS is a simple version control system (VCS) and WebDAV server with minimal hosting requirements:
No database is needed.
Files can be viewed and uploaded with a browser or by WebDAV.
License: GPLv3
If you want to see the web interface of phpEasyVCS, either
You can download phpEasyVCS from Sourceforge.
Copy phpEasyVCS to a directory on your server, e.g. easyvcs.
Browse to http(s)://your.server/easyvcs-dir/index.php (replace your.server and easyvcs-dir with your server and installation directory) and fill out the settings form.
You can also create additional users on the Users tab.
Depending on your server settings, the authorization header might not reach PHP. In case of Apache you can add the following rewrite rule to your .htaccess:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
You can also create additional repositories by
Independent of the access type the user has to identify himself with his user name and password. If the user has access to multiple repositories, he must prefix the user name with the repository name and a backslash, e.g. "specialrepository\max", otherwise it is not sure, into which repository he will be logged in.
Browse to http(s)://your.server/easyvcs-dir/index.php (replace your.server and easyvcs-dir with your server and installation directory).
You can browse the VCS, create tags to browse the VCS at a specific date, view versions, revert a file to a version, etc.
The web access will work
To enable Java and experience the least warnings possible:
Using the navigation item Profile the user can change his password and switch the repository, if he has access to multiple repositories.
Use http(s)://your.server/easyvcs-dir/webdav.php for WebDAV access. The actual syntax may vary depending on your operating system and WebDAV program.
The root level of the WebDAV drive shows at least the directory current, which represents the currently saved files. You will also see the tags created in the web interface, which represent read-only views of your VCS at a specific time. Additionally you can view the VCS at a specific point in time by manually specifying a date and time in the format YYYY-MM-DD or YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM, e.g. http://your.server/easyvcs-dir/webdav.php/2011-01-01 or http://your.server/easyvcs-dir/webdav.php/2011-01-01T16:00 (this might not work with your WebDAV client).
Enter the following URL in Nautilus or Caja: dav://your.server/easyvcs-dir/webdav.php
If this does not work, connect explicitely by use of its menu File/Connect to Server and set Server to your.server, type to WebDAV (HTTP) or Secure WebDAV (HTTPS), path to easyvcs-dir/webdav.php and enter your user name and password.
You can also connect using Gnome Commander: set type to WebDAV, server to your.server and remote directory to /easyvcs-dir/webdav.php.
Or install davfs2 and mount the WebDAV, e.g.:
sudo apt-get install davfs2 sudo mkdir /media/easyvcs sudo mount -t davfs http://your.server/easyvcs-dir/webdav.php /media/easyvcs
You probably need to add options like -o rw,user,uid=myusername to be able to write, too.
Preparation:
Goto explorer - Tools - Map Network Drive - Connect to a Web site and enter http://your.server/easyvcs-dir/webdav.php as URL
Or goto explorer - Tools - Map Network Drive and directly add http://your.server/easyvcs-dir/webdav.php as folder (this only seems to work if your phpEasyVCS installation requires no authentication)
Preparation:
Goto explorer - Map Network Drive - Connect to a Web site and enter http://your.server/easyvcs-dir/webdav.php as URL.
TotalCommander has a WebDAV plugin.
BitKinex - All-in-one FTP/SFTP/HTTP/WebDAV Client (Freeware)
NetDrive (free for home use): You can assign a drive letter to the WebDAV drive and use it like a local drive.
The following is a list of problems with various WebDAV clients:
phpEasyVCS is the only VCS which
As to my knowledge there is no other VCS even offering two of these features.
