I am trying to install symfony from subversion but when I try to commit, I have to login.

The steps I did:

$ svn co http://svn.symfony-project.com/branches/1.4 
$ svn pe symfony/
  entering http://svn.symfony-project.com/branches/1.4 and save
$ svn commit

(Authentication realm: http://svn.symfony-project.com:80 SVN).

I have no idea, what I should use as username and password. Is there a general login?

I appreciate any help. Thanks Andreas

To install symfony from svn, you just have to check out the symfony-project repository. Only the symfony developers team can commit on this repository and needs a username/password.

Did you follow these steps to install: Practical symfony - Day 1: Starting up the Project

?

  • ... and exactly here is the "installing from Subversion ... recommended..." "If you use Subversion, it is even better to use the svn:externals property to embed symfony into your project in the lib/vendor/ directory: $ svn pe svn:externals lib/vendor/" But if you do it this way it does not work either. – Andreas Jul 27 '11 at 03:51
  • Have you created a new svn repository for your project, as explained at the end? – Cherik Jul 27 '11 at 04:01
  • No, I thought, it is not necessary, is it? – Andreas Jul 27 '11 at 04:21
  • It is not mandatory but very useful :-). If you don't want to use a repository for your project, I think you just have to check out the symfony repository to install it: the first step you've done should be good enough. – Cherik Jul 27 '11 at 12:41
  • That's not enough for me, because I want to ensure that I have always the newest version of symfony 1.4. But I finally found the solution, see answer below. – Andreas Jul 27 '11 at 20:22

I finally found my fault in this post: What's the benefits of "svn:externals"?:

After 'svn pe symfony/' you have to type 

$ svn commit -m "add externals"

instead of 'svn commit'. It works then, like I want it.
