The blog gives a basic SVN server configuration with command line and managing it through the command line. When we end up with more projects / users we need more repositories and managing the users authentication details becomes a nightmare. To simplify the user creation and repository management we can go for a web based SVN solution.
;-) Ohh don't think that we are going to do the Apache setup for each repository and more. We have a better solution.
Here comes a better SVN with USVN (User friendly SVN)
What do we need for this?
Requirements:
- PHP 5 (5.1.2 <= ver)
- apache2
- mod_dav_svn enable
- mod_rewrite enable
- subversion
- mod_svn enable
- mod_authz_svn enable
1. Download USVN from http://www.usvn.info/download
2. Extract the zip to the root directory of apache web directory
3. Access the page via web to start the installation and proceed through the installation.
Sample configurations followed in Success Factory.
1. Apache Config
###########################################
# Vhost: svn.successfactory.local #
# Note: we need proper DNS setup to #
# make the URL work #
###########################################
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /srv/www/svn.successfactory.local/htdocs
ServerName svn.successfactory.local
<Directory />
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
<Location /repository/>
ErrorDocument 404 default
DAV svn
Require valid-user
SVNParentPath /srv/svn
SVNListParentPath off
AuthType Basic
AuthName "USVN"
AuthUserFile /srv/svn/htpasswd
AuthzSVNAccessFile /srv/svn/authz
</Location>
</VirtualHost>
The SVN repository resides in /srv/svn as explained in SVN installation post.
An SQLite DB is selected to maintain the SVN management informations.
After installation we can manage the SVN through web like
http://svn.successfactory.local
You will come across a login page as shown below.
We can manage new projects / users / groups through the simple web panel as shown below.
Hope this USVN brings a peace of mind in administring multiple SVN repositories.
