====== SVN on CentOS ======

===== Start Installation =====

==== Change root user ====

<code> su - ## OR ## sudo -i </code>

==== Install needed packages (mod_dav_svn and subversion) ==== 
 yum install mod_dav_svn subversion

Note: If you don’t have Apache installed already, this command installs it also. [http://www.if-not-true-then-false.com/2010/install-apache-php-on-fedora-centos-red-hat-rhel/ Read more about installing Apache and PHP >>]

==== Modify Subversion config file ''/etc/httpd/conf.d/subversion.conf'' ====

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

<code>
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>
</code>

==== Add SVN (Subversion) users ====

Use following command:
<code>
## Create testuser ## 
htpasswd -cm /etc/svn-auth-users testuser 
New password: 
Re-type new password: 
</code>

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

==== Create and configure SVN repository ==== 

<code>
mkdir /var/www/svn 
cd /var/www/svn   
svnadmin create testrepo
chown -R apache.apache testrepo   
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
</code>

Restart Apache:
<code>/etc/init.d/httpd restart ## OR ## service httpd restart </code>

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

SVN testrepo revision 0:

{{ :wiki:02-svn-subversion-repository-revision-0.png |}}

==== Configure repository ====

To disable anonymous access and enable access control add following rows to ''testrepo/conf/svnserve.conf'' file:
<code>
 ## Disable anonymous access 
 ## anon-access = none   
 ## Enable access control 
 ## authz-db = authz
</code>
==== Create trunk, branches and tags structure under testrepo ==== 

Create “template” directories with following command:
<code>mkdir -p /tmp/svn-structure-template/{trunk,branches,tags}</code>

Then import template to project repository using “svn import” command:
<code>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.
</code>
Check results on browser and see testrepo revision 1:
