Objective
I want to be able to browse the svn dir from a website like http://zeus.dev/svn.php and at the same time, be able to checkout from the repository via http://zeus.dev/svn/projectname
How
First of all, install mod_dav_svn
Then in the apache config, I am using vhost for example
<VirtualHost *:80> DocumentRoot /home/data/zeus.dev/apps/ ServerName zeus.dev # this is for svn <Location /svn.php> RewriteEngine on RewriteRule svn.php/([^/\.]+) /svn/$1 [L] </Location> <Location /svn> DAV svn # SVNPath /home/data/svn/ SVNParentPath /home/data/svn # Limit write permission to list of valid users. # Require SSL connection for password protection. # SSLRequireSSL AuthType Basic AuthName "SVN repository" AuthUserFile /etc/httpd/conf.d/subversion.passwd Require valid-user </Location> </VirtualHost>
In my document root, /home/data/zeus.dev/apps, I have a svn.php file soft-linked to /home/data/svn (the place where all svn repository are). As you can see from above, I also use a basic authentication mechanism for anyone who wishes to checkout from the repo.
