5. Create and configure SVN repository

mkdir /var/www/svncd /var/www/svn svnadmin create testrepochown -R apache.apache testrepo  ## If you have SELinux enabled (you can check it with "sestatus" command) #### then change SELinux security context with chcon command ## chcon -R -t httpd_sys_content_t /var/www/svn/testrepo ## Following enables commits over http ##chcon -R -t httpd_sys_rw_content_t /var/www/svn/testrepo

Restart Apache:

/etc/init.d/httpd restart## OR ##service httpd restart

Goto http://localhost/svn/testrepo address and you should see something like following, write username and password:

SVN testrepo revision 0:

6. Configure repository

To disable anonymous access and enable access control add following rows totestrepo/conf/svnserve.conf file:

## Disable anonymous access ##anon-access = none ## Enable access control ##authz-db = authz

7. Create trunk, branches and tags structure under testrepo

Create “template” directories with following command:

mkdir -p /tmp/svn-structure-template/{trunk,branches,tags}

Then import template to project repository using “svn import” command:

svn import -m 'Initial import' /tmp/svn-structure-template/ http://localhost/svn/testrepo/Adding         /tmp/svn-structure-template/trunkAdding         /tmp/svn-structure-template/branchesAdding         /tmp/svn-structure-template/tags Committed revision 1.
