I want access via a browser and through SVN clients such as TortoiseSVN which require URLs. I want to have the repo on network storage mounted on the server, not in a user directory. Here the repo is set up to be owned by svn:svn. These instructions set things up under a svn user running under a (presumed) svn daemon and, which is what I think I want. When I attempt to go to the repo via a web browser I get a ‘can’t open repository’ error I suspect some kind of an SELinux access control issue, but can’t see how. However the Apache instructions seem to assume local use. I have followed Both HowTo and Apache instructions to run it under httpd with an appropriate Location entry with the repo parent area owned by apache:apache. I am trying to set up a central SVN repository on a VM server under CentOS 6.3 to be accessed by developers on their own machines and locally for formal builds. Most of my *ix experience was Solaris and a long time ago. OK, please forgive a terminal newbie question. You can now connect to the subversion repository at e.g.

#Centos svn client password#

In the following example we have a user called “injustfiveminutes” whose password is “wordpress123”:Īnd finally, as the svn user, start the subversion daemon like so: Note that the password is stored in plain text. Now edit the password file web/conf/passwd adding a new user and password. Now, in order to disallow anonymous access to your repository and enabling the password-db database, edit the web/conf/nf file and add/modify the following lines: There will now be a “web” directory containing the following:ĭrwxrwxr-x 2 svn svn 4096 ene 24 17:45 confĭrwxrwsr-x 6 svn svn 4096 ene 24 12:24 db For instance, call it “web” if you plan to host web development projects in there: If we decide to call the subversion user “svn” then you add it like so:Ĭhange to the svn user’s directory and then create a “repositories” directory like so:Īnd now create your project’s repository. Unfortunately it doesn’t set up anything else after installing the necessary files, so you need to add a subversion user and set up the repositories etc yourself.

Type in “y” and press ENTER to install these. This will check for any dependencies and then prompt you to install those and subversion itself. To install subversion on CentOS 6.x you just need to issue the following command as root:
