I've recently become technical director of a small web development agency and we have a large codebase spread across around 200 websites. The code is in PHP & VBScript and a lot of client side javascript and some complex MySQL queries.
What I'm looking to do is to set up a code repository where we can store all our functions, scripts and files. We've currently got 2 developers working off a network drive holding all the files and this is obviously not an ideal solution.
What I'm wondering is if anyone has been in a similar situation and what they have set up for their code repository. I'm thinking of setting up a remote Subverison filesystem for the server side code.
Can anyone recommend a sensible way to maintain and store our code base? Is Subversion the best option for our situation? We're running a web-facing Solaris server so remote access is a goal of the system. Many thanks.
If you have a dedicated public-facing server, you'll be able to set up Subversion service (or daemon -- or whatever they're called in *NIX world): on Windows you need Svnserve, and on NIXes (and on Windows as well) Apache will do the job.
