I finally decided to setup an online version control and chose subversion (instead of cvs which I use on my macbook). Initially, I was thinking of subscribing to github but the prospect of paying monthly did not bode well especially that it would only be me who will be updating the codes. Github has a free service though. But that's if you open-source your code. Ok, enough for the chatter. Here's the steps for installing subversion.

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

Limit write permission to list of valid users. # Require SSL connection for password protection. # SSLRequireSSL

AuthType Basic AuthName "Authorization Realm" AuthUserFile /etc/svn-auth-conf Require valid-user `

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 [email protected] 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

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