Apache + SVN on Fedora

On 6 November 2010 in Tech

Create SVN repo, accessible from network, all users can read & checkout, certain users can write / commit

Software: Apache 2.2.11, Subversion 1.6.6, mod_dav_svn 1.6.6

File & folder:

/var/svn/
/var/svn/auth – authentication file
/var/svn/repos/ – project repositories

Install mod_dav_svn

yum install mod_dav_svn svn

Create SVN repo (refer previous post)

svnadmin create --fs-type fsfs /var/svn/repos/testproj

Create authentication file

htdigest [-c] <auth file> <realm> <username>
htdigest -c /var/svn/auth "Project Repository" user1

c – create file (exclude this flag when adding users)

Setup Apache + mod_dav_svn

vim /etc/httpd/conf.d/subversion.conf
LoadModule dav_svn_module modules/mod_dav_svn.so
LoadModule authz_svn_module modules/mod_authz_svn.so

<Location /svn>
  DAV svn
  SVNParentPath /var/svn/repos
  SVNListParentPath On
  AuthType Digest
  AuthName "Project Repository"
  AuthUserFile /var/svn/auth
  <LimitExcept GET PROPFIND OPTIONS REPORT>
    Require valid-user
  </LimitExcept>
</Location>

Change ownership of the whole svn repo dir

chown -R apache.apache /var/svn

Note: Re-assign the ownership everytime you create a new repo

Lastly, reload apache

service httpd reload

View list of projects – http://localhost/svn
View contents of particular (myproj) project – http://localhost/svn/myproj
