CentOS 7 on the deployment of Apache Subversion (SVN) server

Apache Subversion (SVN) is a widely used version control solution that helps to store various versions of files such as source code and documentation.

In this article, I'll show you how to use Apache Subversion and Apache build SVN server on a CentOS 7 server instance.

1. Prerequisites

• CentOS 7 (minimum installation, but not required).
• A sudo user login (also directly from the root).

Make a non-root user before the command added  sudo .

2. Install Apache

Use YUM to install Apache:

yum install -y httpd

Bash

Copy

Delete the default Apache welcome page:

sed -i 's/^/#&/g' /etc/httpd/conf.d/welcome.conf

Bash

Copy

Apache prevent the  /var/www/html display files in the directory:

sed -i "s/Options Indexes FollowSymLinks/Options FollowSymLinks/" /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

Bash

Copy

3. Installation SVN and mod_dav_svn module

To SVN conjunction with Apache, Apache module needs to be installed in addition to SVN  mod dav svn :

yum install -y subversion mod_dav_svn

Bash

Copy

Configuring SVN

1. SVN modify configuration files

   vi /etc/httpd/conf.modules.d/10-subversion.conf
   
   cat >> /etc/httpd/conf.modules.d/10-subversion.conf <<EOF <Location /svn> DAV svn SVNParentPath /svn AuthName "SVN Repos" AuthType Basic AuthUserFile /etc/svn/svn-auth AuthzSVNAccessFile /svn/authz Require valid-user </Location> EOF

   Bash

   Copy

   Note: In this configuration, we specify a file HTTP access authentication  /etc/svn/svn-auth and user access control file  /svn/authz . Both will be created in the future.

2. Create a SVN repository

   mkdir /svn
   cd /svn
   svnadmin create repo1
   chown -R apache:apache repo1

   Bash

   Copy

3. SVN set up user accounts

   HTTP access authentication create a file using the following command  /svn/svn-auth and SVN user account  user001 :

   mkdir /etc/svn
   htpasswd -cm /etc/svn/svn-auth user001
   chown root:apache /etc/svn/svn-auth
   chmod 640 /etc/svn/svn-auth

   Bash

   Copy

   If you want to create additional user accounts SVN, see the following command:

   htpasswd -m /etc/svn/svn-auth user002
   htpasswd -m /etc/svn/svn-auth user003

   Bash

   Copy

   Warning: Do not use now  -c sign, otherwise it will rebuild the authentication files, and clear all user accounts previously set.

4. Set permissions for users

   cp /svn/repo1/conf/authz /svn/authz
   vi /svn/authz

   Bash

   Copy

   Assumptions:

   • The user  user001 is an administrator.
   • The user  user002 has read and write permissions.
   • Users  user003 can only read.

   You can then modify the following settings:

   [groups]
   admin=user001
   repo1_user=user002
   repo1_trainee=user003 [/] @admin=rw [repo1:/] @repo1_user=rw @repo1_trainee=r

   Bash

   Copy

   Save and Exit:

   :wq

   Bash

   Copy

5. Start Apache and modify firewall rules

   Start Apache:

   systemctl start httpd.service
   systemctl enable httpd.service

   Bash

   Copy

   Open the HTTP service port:

   firewall-cmd --zone=public --permanent --add-service=http
   firewall-cmd --reload

   Bash

   Copy

   Finally, use the following path from the SVN SVN Client Access server repo  repo1 :

   http://<your-server-ip>/svn/repo1/

   Bash

   Copy
