HOW TO INSTALL SUBVERSION WITH APACHE ON LINUX (svn server)
subversion.i686
subversion-libs.i686
[root@pasindu ~]# yum install subversion-devel subversion-libs subversion
Your subversion installation done. Now we have to configure subversion Apache compatibility using mod_dav_svn. we assume Apache server already installed .
if not ... [root@pasindu svn]# yum insatll http
After that we need to install mod_dav_svn package to our Apache server
[root@pasindu ~]#yum install mod_dav_svn
add following two lines
LoadModule dav_svn_module modules/mod_dav_svn.so
LoadModule authz_svn_module modules/mod_authz_svn.so
Make sure you will add these lines after LoadModule dav_module
[root@pasindu ~]# /etc/init.d/httpd configtest
[root@pasindu ~]# /etc/init.d/httpd restart
[root@pasindu var]# ls -aslt | grep repos
4 drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4096 Jan 26 12:02 repos
[root@pasindu var]# ls repos/
conf db format hooks locks README.txt
[root@pasindu var]# chown apache:apache /var/repos
#for svn path
<Location /svn/repos>
DAV svn
SVNPath /var/repos
<Location>
[root@pasindu ~]# /etc/init.d/httpd configtest
[root@pasindu ~]# /etc/init.d/httpd restart
[root@pasindu var]# htpasswd -cm /var/svn/svnuser pasindu
htpasswd: cannot create file /var/svn/svnuser
[root@pasindu var]# mkdir /var/svn
[root@pasindu var]# htpasswd -cm /var/svn/svnuser pasindu
New password:
Re-type new password:
Adding password for user pasindu
[root@pasindu var]# vim svn/svnpolicy
[/]
* = rw
You can specify this inside httpd.conf file as,
<Location /svn/repos>
DAV svn
SVNPath /var/repos
AuthzSVNAccessFile /var/svn/svnpolicy
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Subversion repository"
AuthUserFile /var/svn/svnuser
Require user user_name
</Location>
[root@pasindu ~]# /etc/init.d/httpd configtest
[root@pasindu svn]# /etc/init.d/httpd restart
http://localhost/svn/repos
if you want configure web svn request over https, you need add above http.conf changes in to ssh.cof or virtualhost.cof file.
- Log as root user in to your system
- We need to install following packages .
subversion.i686
subversion-libs.i686
[root@pasindu ~]# yum install subversion-devel subversion-libs subversion

- configuring Apache Server
add following two lines
LoadModule dav_svn_module modules/mod_dav_svn.so
LoadModule authz_svn_module modules/mod_authz_svn.so
Make sure you will add these lines after LoadModule dav_module
[root@pasindu ~]# /etc/init.d/httpd configtest
[root@pasindu ~]# /etc/init.d/httpd restart
- Creating svn repos using svnadmin command
[root@pasindu var]# ls -aslt | grep repos
4 drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4096 Jan 26 12:02 repos
[root@pasindu var]# ls repos/
conf db format hooks locks README.txt
[root@pasindu var]# chown apache:apache /var/repos
- Then at the end of the httpd.conf file you have to add
#for svn path
<Location /svn/repos>
DAV svn
SVNPath /var/repos
<Location>
[root@pasindu ~]# /etc/init.d/httpd configtest
[root@pasindu ~]# /etc/init.d/httpd restart
- configuring Authentication
[root@pasindu var]# htpasswd -cm /var/svn/svnuser pasindu
htpasswd: cannot create file /var/svn/svnuser
[root@pasindu var]# mkdir /var/svn
[root@pasindu var]# htpasswd -cm /var/svn/svnuser pasindu
New password:
Re-type new password:
Adding password for user pasindu
- Configuring svn policy files
[root@pasindu var]# vim svn/svnpolicy
[/]
* = rw
You can specify this inside httpd.conf file as,
<Location /svn/repos>
SVNPath /var/repos
AuthzSVNAccessFile /var/svn/svnpolicy
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Subversion repository"
AuthUserFile /var/svn/svnuser
Require user user_name
</Location>
[root@pasindu ~]# /etc/init.d/httpd configtest
[root@pasindu svn]# /etc/init.d/httpd restart
- Accessing svn over web
http://localhost/svn/repos
if you want configure web svn request over https, you need add above http.conf changes in to ssh.cof or virtualhost.cof file.
