GIT – How to install and configured Subversion over Apache on Ubuntu

Run these commands on your server

apt-get update

apt-get upgrade

Now start the setup for Subversion

I am assuming that you have already Apache setup. The only two extra packages install on your server.

sudo apt-get install subversion libapache2-svn

Please enable the subversion module use the following this command:

sudo a2enmod dav_svn

You will need to configure apache now:

sudo vi /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/dav_svn.conf

Edit the file to look something like this:

<Location /svn>
DAV svn
SVNPath /home/svn
AuthType Basic
AuthName “Subversion Repository or your choice”
AuthUserFile /etc/apache2/dav_svn.passwd
Require valid-user
</Location>

/home/svn to whatever the location of your repository is  create the directory use the following this command:

sudo mkdir /home/svn

Create the Subversion repository use the following command

sudo svnadmin create /home/svn

Now, you need to make Apache the owner of the repository:

sudo chown -Rf www-data:www-data /home/svn

Secure the Subversion repository, do the following to create a password file:

sudo htpasswd -cm /etc/apache2/dav_svn.passwd linuxgurru

Replace linuxgurru with whatever username you want to use, and then when prompted enter a password.

Now restart Apache use the following command:

sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

Now open your web-browser and enter the following address
http://domain-name or server-ip/svn
