Sorry for the delay... I have been busy during the last few days.
First of all, I'll try to release ASAP a simple script that would
validate an installation of fredistrano. It will surely help users to
get much more easily through the installation process. Moreover, it
will produce a detailed output that will provide us important
information for helping you guys with your problems.
Concerning your problem:
1. I assume that if you execute the following script, you'll get this
time the "svn not found" error message.
<?php
echo '<h1>Fredistrano installation checker</h1>';
echo '<h2>Shell commands</h2>';
echo '<br/> - SVN: '.shell_exec('svn --help 2>&1');
echo '<br/> - find: '.shell_exec('find --help 2>&1');
echo '<h2>Environment information</h2>';
echo '<br/> - apache user: '.shell_exec('whoami 2>&1');
echo '<br/> - PATH: '.$_SERVER['PATH'];
echo '<br/>More...<br/>';
phpinfo();
?>
As a result, the svn command is not in the apache user path (exactly
like
http://drupal.org/node/548724). This is rather a configuration
issue rather than something specific to fredistrano. After checking
the name of the apache user displayed by the script, I would suggest
you to contact the support of your host provider. This must be a
simple question for them.
I hope it may help. Don't give up with fredistrano you are almost
done!
