#4 Re: Playing with SVN Posted by alfadir (141.58.xx.xx) on Mon 20 Mar 2006 at 11:24 Thanks for sharing your experiences. I am also about to go through this, although not for the first time. I intend to do a more complex setup and try to write about it. I just want to point out a few things. Instead of editing : As the book stated I edited httpd.conf as following: LoadModule dav_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_dav.so LoadModule dav_svn_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_dav_svn.so You can under Debian run a2enmod dav a2enmod dav_svn That will set the appropriate links between /etc/apache2/mods-available/ and /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/ I am still a bit undecided how to properly add the subversion location. I have used the conf file in /etc/apache2/mods-availible, but maybe sites-enabled can be used too. (I am thinking for multi-site apache) Have a look at the file /etc/apache2/mods-available/dav_svn.conf for an example. I use the below structure but the mentioned file have more information. (Please observe that the location apache tags were stripped by the blogging software) DAV svn SVNPath /srv/svn/project AuthType Basic AuthName "Subversion Repository" AuthUserFile /etc/apache2/dav-svn.passwd AuthzSVNAccessFile /etc/apache2/dav_svn.authz Require valid-user For access configuration have a look in /usr/share/doc/libapache2-svn/INSTALL.authz.gz Lastly the permission should be handled differently. It is not good to set the repository writable by anyone. I can not find the reference right now but on earlier recomendation I have configured my running repository as chown -R www-data.www-data /srv/svn/project I am not sure how well that works with other access methods, but I will investigate that in the comming months. It would be good if you can investigate these things and update the article accordingly so that the article shows as much as possible the Debian way. That is at least what I like about http://www.debian-administration.org/

You can under Debian run
a2enmod dav a2enmod dav_svn
