Subversion setup with apache
Wed, 2009/01/21 - 1:20pm — clemens
Setting up an apache based subversion needs a little more work then doing it with a plain or svnserve setup.
My steps are described here and executed on two computers.
Create your repository
# the switch --fs-type fsfs is the default
# but I was a little worried of getting the bdb file system
svnadmin create --fs-type fsfs demoMake sure apache is capable of reading the repo and other cannot
# /var/lib/svn is owned by root so let www-data (apache) access the repos dir.
chmod o+rx /var/lib/svn
chmod -R o-rwx demo
chown -R www-data:www-data demoNext create your authorization file by adding users with MD5 passwords
htpasswd -mc /etc/svn-auth-file clemens
htpasswd -m /etc/svn-auth-file testInstall and configure the modules needed for apache. On ubuntu the modules are enabled automatically.
apt-get libapache2-svn
# a2enmod dav_svn davNext make a svn repository available through the web
<VirtualHost svn.build2be.com:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@nowhere.abc
<Location /repos>
DAV svn
SVNPath /var/lib/svn/apache
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Subversion repository"
AuthUserFile /etc/svn-auth-file
Require valid-user
</Location>
ErrorLog /home/demo/log/svn_error.log
