set up a working Symfony project (with SVN) on my bluehost shared hosting, this tutorial should work for other hosters with minor changes. What I wanted was to be able of using my account as a development server for a small group of developers that would automatically show the last revision of the SVN repository. I pushed the solution further and created on the same account two more subdomains for the staging and production server.

script to install readmine 0.8.4 on a shared host that offers ruby on rails.
