Follow these instructions to setup svn repositary in fedora:
You may already have subversion installed, if not, just run this:
# yum install subversion
# yum install mod_dav_svn
Create svn repo using svnadmin command:
# mkdir /svn
# chown -R apache:apache /svn
#svnadmin create --pre-1.6-compatible --fs-type fsfs /svn/myproject
Give full permission for the repo directory ( I don't know giving full permission on server is advisable, but right now i'm doing it on local system ),
#chmod -R 777 /svn/myproject/
Open httpd.conf, which is under
/opt/lampp/etc/ and Add following lines ,
LoadModule dav_svn_module modules/mod_dav_svn.so
LoadModule authz_svn_module modules/mod_authz_svn.so
LoadModule dav_svn_module modules/mod_dav_svn.so
LoadModule authz_svn_module modules/mod_authz_svn.so
<Location /myproject>
DAV svn
SVNPath /svn/myproject
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Subversion MyPro Repository"
AuthUserFile /etc/svn-passwords/myproject
Require valid-user
</Location>
Save this file and close.
Create a htaccess password to protect our repo, if it prompts any password provide it.
# htpasswd -c /etc/svn-passwords/myproject
Make svn process to listen port 3690,
# svnserve -d --listen-port=3690
Now restart the apache,
# pkill -9 httpd
# /opt/lampp/lampp startapache
If you've any issues in starting apache, try this:
# /opt/lampp/bin/apachectl restart
Above command might show you something like,
apache couldn't load xxx module.
So load these two modules from default apache which shipped with
OS,
# cp /etc/httpd/modules/mod_dav_svn.so /opt/lampp/modules/
# cp /etc/httpd/modules/mod_authz_svn.so /opt/lampp/modules/
Just go to http://localhost/myproject in browser,give username and password we created with
htpasswd command.
Now import some files to our newly created repositary,
#mkdir -p /tmp/svn-structure-template/{trunk,branches,tags}
#svn import -m 'Initial import' /tmp/svn-structure-template/ http://localhost/myproject/
Which outputs,
Adding /tmp/svn-structure-template/trunk
Adding /tmp/svn-structure-template/branches
Adding /tmp/svn-structure-template/tags
Committed revision 1.
THAT'S IT...
