Subversion : Access to Repositories via HTTP2015/04/19

	It needs to open 3690/TCP if you use svnserve server, but if you'd not like to open it, it's possible to access to repositories with HTTP without SVN.
[1]	Install and start Apache httpd, refer to here.
[2]	Install required packages.

[root@dlp ~]#

yum -y install mod_dav_svn

[3]	Configure Subversion for HTTP access. For example, set for a repository "/var/svn/repos/project".

[root@dlp ~]#

vi /etc/httpd/conf.d/subversion.conf

# add follows to the end

<Location /project>
DAV svn
AuthType Basic
AuthName "DAV SVN"
AuthUserFile /var/svn/.svnpasswd
Require valid-user
SVNPath /var/svn/repos/project
</Location>

# add a user

[root@dlp ~]#

htpasswd -c /var/svn/.svnpasswd cent

New password:
Re-type new password:
Adding password for user cent
[root@dlp ~]#

chown -R apache. /var/svn/repos

[root@dlp ~]#

/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd restart

Stopping httpd:     [  OK  ]
Starting httpd:      [  OK  ]

[4]	Configure access control if you'd like to set. It is different from the setting of svnserve's one, that is only for using svnserve.

[root@dlp ~]#

vi /var/svn/repos/project/conf/authzsvn.conf

# create new

# define group

[groups]
developer = cent,fedora
operator = redhat

# everyone can Read access

[/]
* = r

# only developer group can Read/Write under the trunk

[project:/trunk]
@developer = rw

# only operator can Read/Write under the branches

[project:/branches]
@operator = rw

# only operator can Read/Write under the tags

[project:/tags]
@operator = rw

[root@dlp ~]#

vi /etc/httpd/conf.d/subversion.conf

<Location /project>
DAV svn
AuthType Basic
AuthName "DAV SVN"
AuthUserFile /var/svn/.svnpasswd
Require valid-user
SVNPath /var/svn/repos/project

AuthzSVNAccessFile /var/svn/repos/project/conf/authzsvn.conf

</Location>

[root@dlp ~]#

/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd restart

Stopping httpd:     [  OK  ]
Starting httpd:      [  OK  ]

[5]	Access from a client like follows.

[cent@client ~]$

svn --username cent list http://dlp.srv.world/project

Authentication realm: <http://dlp.srv.world:80> DAV SVN
Password for 'cent':

# password you set

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
ATTENTION!  Your password for authentication realm:

   <http://dlp.srv.world:80> DAV SVN

can only be stored to disk unencrypted!  You are advised to configure
your system so that Subversion can store passwords encrypted, if
possible.  See the documentation for details.

You can avoid future appearances of this warning by setting the value
of the 'store-plaintext-passwords' option to either 'yes' or 'no' in
'/home/cent/.subversion/servers'.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Store password unencrypted (yes/no)? no

branches/
tags/
