In order to install SVN in server, we need mod_dav module in cpanel. Run the following command and check if the below modules are present:
httpd -M | grep dav
dav_module (static)
dav_fs_module (static)
dav_lock_module (static)
dav_svn_module (shared)
If dav_module is not installed in the server, you can enable it by running easyapache in the server. Enable DAV, DAVfs, DAVLock from the apache modules and build apache.
Next step is to install subversion in the server. For that, perform the following steps:
cd /usr/local/src/
wget http://packages.sw.be/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.5.1-1.el5.rf.x86_64.rpm
rpm --import http://apt.sw.be/RPM-GPG-KEY.dag.txt
rpm -K rpmforge-release-0.5.1-1.el5.rf.x86_64.rpm
rpm -i rpmforge-release-0.5.1-1.el5.rf.x86_64.rpm
Once the repository is installed, install subversion using the following command:
yum --enablerepo=rpmforge install subversion
Now to build dav_svn_module, perform the following steps:
cd /usr/local/src
wget http://subversion.tigris.org/downloads/subversion-1.6.3.tar.bz2
tar xfj subversion-1.6.3.tar.bz2
cd subversion-1.6.3
./configure --with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs --with-apr=/home/cpeasyapache/src/httpd-2.2.21/srclib/apr --with-apr-util=/home/cpeasyapache/src/httpd-2.2.21/srclib/apr-util
make
make install
If you get an error that sqlite-amalgamation needs to be installed, perform the following steps:
cd /usr/local/src
wget http://www.sqlite.org/sqlite-amalgamation-3.6.13.tar.gz
tar -zxvf sqlite-amalgamation-3.6.13.tar.gz
cd subversion-1.6.3
mkdir sqlite-amalgamation
cp ../sqlite-3.6.13/sqlite3.c ./sqlite-amalgamation/
Then build it again using the following commands:
./configure --with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs --with-apr=/home/cpeasyapache/src/httpd-2.2.21/srclib/apr --with-apr-util=/home/cpeasyapache/src/httpd-2.2.21/srclib/apr-util
make
make install
Now we need to configure apache and subversion.
mkdir -p /usr/local/apache/conf/userdata/std/2/<user>/<domain>/
vi svn.conf
Add the following lines to the file svn.conf
<IfModule mod_dav_svn.c>
<location name_of_svn>
DAV svn
SVNPath /home/<username>/public_html/name_of_svn
AuthType Basic
AuthName "SVN Repo"
AuthUserFile /home/<username>/.svn.htpasswd
Require valid-user
</location>
</IfModule>
Add the username and password in the file /home/<username>/.svn.htpasswd
using htpasswd command
htpasswd -cm /home/<username>/.svn.htpasswd username
In the file /usr/local/apache/conf/includes/pre_main_2.conf, add the following:
LoadModule dav_svn_module /etc/httpd/modules/mod_dav_svn.so
LoadModule authz_svn_module /etc/httpd/modules/mod_authz_svn.so
Now we need to create the SVn repository.
cd /home/<username>/public_html/
svnadmin create name_of_svn
chown -R user:user name_of_svn
chmod -R 775 name_of_svn
Now rebuild apache config and restart apache using the following commands:
/scripts/ensure_vhost_includes --user=username
/scripts/rebuildhttpdconf
/scripts/restartsrv_httpd
That's all.
httpd -M | grep dav
dav_module (static)
dav_fs_module (static)
dav_lock_module (static)
dav_svn_module (shared)
If dav_module is not installed in the server, you can enable it by running easyapache in the server. Enable DAV, DAVfs, DAVLock from the apache modules and build apache.
Next step is to install subversion in the server. For that, perform the following steps:
cd /usr/local/src/
wget http://packages.sw.be/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.5.1-1.el5.rf.x86_64.rpm
rpm --import http://apt.sw.be/RPM-GPG-KEY.dag.txt
rpm -K rpmforge-release-0.5.1-1.el5.rf.x86_64.rpm
rpm -i rpmforge-release-0.5.1-1.el5.rf.x86_64.rpm
Once the repository is installed, install subversion using the following command:
yum --enablerepo=rpmforge install subversion
Now to build dav_svn_module, perform the following steps:
cd /usr/local/src
wget http://subversion.tigris.org/downloads/subversion-1.6.3.tar.bz2
tar xfj subversion-1.6.3.tar.bz2
cd subversion-1.6.3
./configure --with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs --with-apr=/home/cpeasyapache/src/httpd-2.2.21/srclib/apr --with-apr-util=/home/cpeasyapache/src/httpd-2.2.21/srclib/apr-util
make
make install
If you get an error that sqlite-amalgamation needs to be installed, perform the following steps:
cd /usr/local/src
wget http://www.sqlite.org/sqlite-amalgamation-3.6.13.tar.gz
tar -zxvf sqlite-amalgamation-3.6.13.tar.gz
cd subversion-1.6.3
mkdir sqlite-amalgamation
cp ../sqlite-3.6.13/sqlite3.c ./sqlite-amalgamation/
Then build it again using the following commands:
./configure --with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs --with-apr=/home/cpeasyapache/src/httpd-2.2.21/srclib/apr --with-apr-util=/home/cpeasyapache/src/httpd-2.2.21/srclib/apr-util
make
make install
Now we need to configure apache and subversion.
mkdir -p /usr/local/apache/conf/userdata/std/2/<user>/<domain>/
vi svn.conf
Add the following lines to the file svn.conf
<IfModule mod_dav_svn.c>
<location name_of_svn>
DAV svn
SVNPath /home/<username>/public_html/name_of_svn
AuthType Basic
AuthName "SVN Repo"
AuthUserFile /home/<username>/.svn.htpasswd
Require valid-user
</location>
</IfModule>
Add the username and password in the file /home/<username>/.svn.htpasswd
using htpasswd command
htpasswd -cm /home/<username>/.svn.htpasswd username
In the file /usr/local/apache/conf/includes/pre_main_2.conf, add the following:
LoadModule dav_svn_module /etc/httpd/modules/mod_dav_svn.so
LoadModule authz_svn_module /etc/httpd/modules/mod_authz_svn.so
Now we need to create the SVn repository.
cd /home/<username>/public_html/
svnadmin create name_of_svn
chown -R user:user name_of_svn
chmod -R 775 name_of_svn
Now rebuild apache config and restart apache using the following commands:
/scripts/ensure_vhost_includes --user=username
/scripts/rebuildhttpdconf
/scripts/restartsrv_httpd
That's all.
