Websvn

1: download Websvn

2: unpackage websvn and move it to the apache Web root folder, rename it to svn (e.g., /var/www/svn). Here, please remove the version number (after you unpackage it, you will get something like websvn3.2.6).

3: copy the configuration file

    $cd /var/www/websvn/include
    $sudo cp distconfig.php config.php

4: open and edit the config.php.

find the following lines:

    $config->addTemplatePath($locwebsvnreal.'/templates/calm/');     $config->addTemplatePath($locwebsvnreal.'/templates/BlueGrey/');     $config->addTemplatePath($locwebsvnreal.'/templates/Elegant/'); 














and add the following line to indicate the default template to use:

    $config->setTemplatePath($locwebsvnreal.'/templates/calm/');

5: add the following lines just before the last lines: (the objective is to tell websvn where to get the data of svn)

    $config->parentPath("/media/datadrive/svn");     //you can have a parent path,     //or add another entry by using the following line:     //$config->addRepository("Empty Nest", "file:///media/datadrive/svn/emptynest");     $config->setEnscriptPath("/usr/bin");     $config->setSedPath("/bin");     $config->useEnscript();

6: now, when you open your browser, and go to:

    localhost/svn

you will be able to view svn directory.

7: However, everyone in the LAN can access to the content of svn by entering the above-mentioned URL address. The next step is to add authorization. First, create a pass word file.

    $touch /etc/apache2/dav_svn.passwd

Then, use the following command to create a user:

    $sudo htpasswd /etc/apache2/dav_svn.passwd user1    New password:     Re-type new password:     Adding password for user user1

8: Then, open the file etc/apache2/dav_svn.passwd, you can see some like this:

    user1:$apr1$PYPG.CQv$4AkadaxTsdfwBmrx6uVOK0

9: Of course, you can add more users by using the same command.

10: Then, open the apache configuration file:

    $sudo vim /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default

then, add the following lines:

    <Location /svn>
            AuthType Basic
            AuthName "Subversion repository"
            AuthUserFile /etc/apache2/dav_svn.passwd
            Require valid-user
    </Location>





Save the file.

11: restart apache:

$sudo service apache2 restart
[sudo] password for wcg1sgh:
 * Restarting web server apache2                                                apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1 for ServerName
 ... waiting apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1 for ServerName
                                                                         [ OK ]




12: Open the browser, and enter localhost/svn, and a username and password is demanded.

Done!
