:SVN 1.3.2.

2 Installation:

yum install subversion


or
yum update subversion

yum install mod_dav_svn


/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd restart

svnadmin create /svn/projects

A. USERS creation and their Authentication:

1.Create a user's file using htpasswd (comes with Apache)

Use the following command to enter a password for each user (-c to create the
file)

To generate first time:

htpasswd -cm /svn/svn_access username

Adding another users:

htpasswd -n username

It will generate a username:password Copy that whole contents in


/svn/svn_access

2. Creating an Authorized SVN Access file


#e.g.
[/]
vaibhav = rw

[/mes_audit_tool]
amol = rw

B. Apache Configuration:

1. # Add the following lines to http.conf to instruct Apache to load the


mod_dav_svn module. These lines must be added before any Subversion-related
configuration items:

LoadModule dav_svn_module modules/mod_dav_svn.so

2.Add the following lines to httpd.conf somewhere AFTER the LoadModule commands to
tell Apache where you keep your Subversion repositories:

<Location /svn>
DAV svn
SVNParentPath /svn/projects
AuthzSVNAccessFile /svn/svn_access
Require valid-user
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Subversion repository"
AuthUserFile /svn/svn_auth
</Location>

3. add the appropriate virtual host entries.

<VirtualHost 192.168.0.161:80>
ServerAdmin [email protected]
DocumentRoot /svn
ServerName 192.168.0.161
ErrorLog /svn/logs/dummy-host.example.com-error_log
CustomLog /svn/logs/dummy-host.example.com-access_log common
</VirtualHost>

/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd restart

C. Initial Import:

1)Import from file system

e.g.
svn import /home/amol.ghosalkar/amol/stpi file:///svn/test_repos -m "Initial
import"

OR

2) Import from web

svn import /home/sharjeel.s/Project/MES_Fedora_RH_Linux_auditing_tool


http://192.168.0.161/svn/mes_audit_tool -m "Initial import"

Note:Please ensure Apache has requisite permissions to directories.
