How to Install SVN (Sub version) in LINUX Machine?

Step By Step Configuring SVN Server in Linux

•  Install apache/httpd 

yum install httpd

• Make sure you apache is running. You can also type ‘http://localhost’ at your browser and apache test page should appear if your apache is running

/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd start

OR

service httpd start

• Make it start by default on startup

chkconfig httpd on

1. Change root user

su - ## OR ## sudo -i

2. Install needed packages (mod_dav_svn and subversion)

yum install mod_dav_svn subversion

3. Modify Subversion config file /etc/httpd/conf.d/subversion.conf

Add following config to /etc/httpd/conf.d/subversion.conf file:

LoadModule dav_svn_module modules/mod_dav_svn.so LoadModule authz_svn_module modules/mod_authz_svn.so   <Location /svn> DAV svn SVNParentPath /var/www/svn AuthType Basic AuthName "Subversion repositories" AuthUserFile /etc/svn-auth-users Require valid-user </Location>

4. Add SVN (Subversion) users

Use following command:

## Create testuser ## htpasswd -cm /etc/svn-auth-users testuser New password: Re-type new password: Adding password for user testuser   ## Create testuser2 ## htpasswd -m /etc/svn-auth-users testuser2 New password: Re-type new password: Adding password for user testuser2

Note: Use exactly same file and path name as used on subversion.conf file. This example use /etc/svn-auth-users file.

5. Create and configure SVN repository

mkdir /var/www/svn cd /var/www/svn   svnadmin create testrepo chown -R apache.apache testrepo     ## If you have SELinux enabled (you can check it with "sestatus" command) ## ## then change SELinux security context with chcon command ##   chcon -R -t httpd_sys_content_t /var/www/svn/testrepo   ## Following enables commits over http ## chcon -R -t httpd_sys_rw_content_t /var/www/svn/testrepo

Restart Apache:

/etc/init.d/httpd restart ## OR ## service httpd restart

Goto http://localhost/svn/testrepo address and you should see something like following, write username and password:

SVN testrepo revision 0:

6. Configure repository

To disable anonymous access and enable access control add following rows to testrepo/conf/svnserve.conf file:

## Disable anonymous access ## anon-access = none   ## Enable access control ## authz-db = authz

7. Create trunk, branches and tags structure under testrepo

Create “template” directories with following command:

mkdir -p /tmp/svn-structure-template/{trunk,branches,tags}

Then import template to project repository using “svn import” command:

svn import -m 'Initial import' /tmp/svn-structure-template/ http://localhost/svn/testrepo/ Adding /tmp/svn-structure-template/trunk Adding /tmp/svn-structure-template/branches Adding /tmp/svn-structure-template/tags   Committed revision 1.

Check results on browser and see testrepo revision 1:
