Apache Svn Server
Requirements to follow this guide:
apt-get package manager program text editor (I use kate) sudo access rights
1: Install Apache HTTP server and required modules:
sudo apt-get install libapache2-svn apache2
The following extra packages will be installed:
apache2-mpm-worker apache2-utils apache2.2-common
2: Enable SSL
sudo a2enmod ssl sudo kate /etc/apache2/ports.conf
Add or check that the following is in the file:
<IfModule mod_ssl.c>
Listen 443
</IfModule>
3: Generate an SSL certificate:
sudo apt-get install ssl-cert sudo mkdir /etc/apache2/ssl sudo /usr/sbin/make-ssl-cert /usr/share/ssl-cert/ssleay.cnf /etc/apache2/ssl/apache.pem
4: Create virtual host
sudo cp /etc/apache2/sites-available/default /etc/apache2/sites-available/svnserver sudo kate /etc/apache2/sites-available/svnserver
Change (in ports.conf):
"NameVirtualHost *" to "NameVirtualHost *:443"
and (in svnserver)
<VirtualHost *> to <VirtualHost *:443>
Add, under ServerAdmin (also in file svnserver):
SSLEngine on SSLCertificateFile /etc/apache2/ssl/apache.pem SSLProtocol all SSLCipherSuite HIGH:MEDIUM
5: Enable the site:
sudo a2ensite svnserver sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
To overcome warnings:
sudo kate /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
Add:
"ServerName $your_server_name"
Steps I've taken to make my laptop a Subversion server. Credit must go to AlephZarro for his directions here. I now have a working SVN server (which has currently only been tested locally).
Specific setup: Kubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron

sudo a2ensite svnserver sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
To overcome warnings:
sudo kate /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
Add:
"ServerName $your_server_name"
6: Adding repository(ies): The following setup assumes we want to host multiple repositories. Run this for creating the first repository:
sudo mkdir /var/svn
REPOS=myFirstRepo sudo svnadmin create /var/svn/$REPOS sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/svn/$REPOS sudo chmod -R g+ws /var/svn/$REPOS
6.a. For more repositories: do step 6 again (changing the value of REPOS), skipping the step mkdir /var/svn
7: Add an authenticated user
sudo htpasswd -c -m /etc/apache2/dav_svn.passwd $user_name
8: Enable and configure WebDAV and SVN:
sudo kate /etc/apache2/mods-available/dav_svn.conf
Add or uncomment:
<Location /svn> DAV svn
- for multiple repositories - see comments in file
SVNParentPath /var/svn
AuthType Basic AuthName "Subversion Repository" AuthUserFile /etc/apache2/dav_svn.passwd Require valid-user SSLRequireSSL </Location>
9: Restart apache server:
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
10: Validation:
Fired up a browser:
http://localhost/svn/$REPOS https://localhost/svn/$REPOS
Commit something:
svn import --username $user_name anyfile.txt https://localhost/svn/$REPOS/anyfile.txt -m “Testing”
Accept the certificate and enter password. Check out what you've just committed:
svn co --username $user_name https://localhost/svn/$REPOS
