How to setup svn on lampp server

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 ( Its not recommended to give full permission to a folder on server)

 
 # 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 the apache configuration 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
