Step 1: Install SubVersion via yum
yum install mod_dav_svn subversion

Step 2: Edit Apache Config
vi /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

make sure to uncomment the following lines.
LoadModule authn_file_module modules/mod_authn_file.so
LoadModule dav_module modules/mod_dav.so

Step 3: Restart Apache
service httpd start

Step 4: Edit subversion.conf

cd /etc/httpd/conf.d/
vi subversion.conf

make sure the modules below are also uncommented
LoadModule dav_svn_module modules/mod_dav_svn.so
LoadModule authz_svn_module modules/mod_authz_svn.so

Add the following to allow a basic authentication and point Apache to where the actual repository resides.

<Location /repos>
DAV svn
SVNParentPath /var/www/svn/repos

AuthType Basic
AuthName "Authorization Realm"
AuthUserFile /etc/svn-auth-conf
Require valid-user
</LimitExcept>
</Location>


VPS ALERT!!!!
Since I’m using Virtual Private Server (VPS) and suPHP, I have the code below. Take note that the location is inside the VirtualHost directive.

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin support@domain.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/domain.com
ServerName domain.com
ServerAlias *.domain.com
suPHP_Engine on
suPHP_UserGroup myuser myuser
AddHandler x-httpd-php .php .php3 .php4 .php5
suPHP_AddHandler x-httpd-php
ErrorLog logs/domain.com-error_log
LogFormat "%h %l %u %t "%r" %>s %b" common
CustomLog logs/domain.com-access_log common
<Location /repos>
DAV svn
SVNParentPath /var/www/domain.com/repos SetHandler repos

</Location>>
</VirtualHost>

Step 5: Set the Password for your Users

[root@vps ~]# htpasswd -cm /etc/svn-auth-conf yourusername
New password:
Re-type new password:
Adding password for user yourusername
[root@vps ~]# htpasswd -m /etc/svn-auth-conf anotherusername
New password:
Re-type new password:
Adding password for user anotherusername


Step 6: Create Your Repository

[root@vps ~]# cd /var/www/ -- Or wherever you placed your path above
[root@vps ~]# mkdir svn
[root@vps ~]# cd svn
[root@vps ~]# svnadmin create repos
[root@vps ~]# chown -R apache:apache repos
[root@vps ~]# service httpd restart
