I finished installing my server, for my freelance with Subversion. And to be sure I will not forget how, I am writing what I did following the tutorial I found on the Internet.

1. Installing Ubuntu Server with no options to select LAMP or DNS Server

2. In my case, which has a 40GB HD in, divide the partitions as follows:
255MB, swap
05GB, /
04GB, / usr
10GB, / srv
20GB, / home

The first item is the size of the partition and the second mount point. Apart from the swap partition, I am using EXT3 file system at all.

3. Installing Apache and SVN:

sudo apt-get install apache2 subversion libapache2-svn

4. Create the directory where are the repositories of SVN:

sudo mkdir / srv / svn

5. Create the repository. Here would be a good time to restore the backup, if applicable:

sudo svnadmin create / srv / svn / repository ()

6. Apache to provide access to these directories:

sudo chown-R www-data: www-data / srv / svn

7. Configure the module from subversion webdav

sudo vi / etc/apache2/mods-enabled/dav_svn.conf

1. Uncomment the tag <Location /svn>. At the beginning and end of the file.
2. Uncomment the option DAV svn
3. Uncomment the option SVNParentPath / var / lib / svn and change the path to the location of the repository: / srv / svn. This was chosen instead of SVNPath to have more of a repository in the same folder.
4. Uncomment the option AuthzSVNAccessFile / etc/apache2/dav_svn.authz. To enable you to control access to projects using the file information.
5. Uncomment to enable the authentication, the three lines:

• AuthType Basic
• AuthName "Subversion Repository"
• AuthUserFile / etc/apache2/dav_svn.passwd
• Add the line: Require valid-user
• Save the file. To do this, press the ESC key type ": WQ" without the quotes and press enter

8. Create a user to acessr the SVN:

• sudo htpasswd-cm / etc/apache2/dav_svn.passwd <username>
  
• The parameter-c is only required for the first user, it is used to create the file. For the following addresses only the-m, which is used to encrypt the password with MD5.

9. Restart apache

sudo / etc/init.d/apache2 restart

1. Exclude packages from base subversion repositories

a. Open the base CentOS repository configuration file

/ etc / yum.repos.d / CentOS-Base.repo

b. Append the following text to all repositories

exclude = subversion

c. Yum restart the service (run the following command)

service yum-updatesd restart

2. Install Subversion

yum install subversion
