h2. Important Warning
With lighttpd 1.4.18, and probably several other versions, you might not be able to commit to the repository! You'll get errors like:
<pre>
svn: Commit failed (details follow):
svn: OPTIONS request failed on '/svn/a/b/c'
svn: OPTIONS of '/svn/a/b/c': 200 OK (https://dev.yoursite.com)
</pre>
See ticket #631 for more information.
h2. Apache+Subversion Recipe
This recipe shows how to setup an example subversion repository using Apache 2.2, mod_dav_svn, and lighttpd 1.4.11.
We will create a subversion repository hosted at the example address: `http://projects.example.com/svn/test/`.
Before you continue, make sure you have installed:
* "Apache":http://httpd.apache.org/ (running at port 8080)
* "Subversion":http://subversion.tigris.org/ (including "mod_dav_svn":http://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/svn-book.html#svn.serverconfig.httpd)
* "Lighttpd":http://www.lighttpd.net/ 1.4.11
* A daemon system account with user and group id @svn@
<pre>
#!ShellExample
# groupadd svn
# useradd svn
</pre>
h3. Create test repository
Create the subversion repository, and set its owner and group to @svn@:
<pre>
#!ShellExample
# mkdir -pm700 /var/svn/projects.example.com
# svnadmin create /var/svn/projects.example.com/test
# chown -R svn:svn /var/svn/projects.example.com
</pre>
NB: This implies that you are running Apache from that user:group too.
h3. Setup Apache
Create the directory for the @projects.example.com@ domain public files:
<pre>
#!ShellExample
# mkdir -p /var/www/projects.example.com/httpdocs
</pre>
Setup a virtual host inside @httpd.conf@:
<pre>
<VirtualHost *:8080>
ServerName projects.example.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/projects.example.com/httpdocs
<Location /svn/test>
DAV svn
SVNPath /var/svn/projects.example.com/test
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Test Subversion repository"
AuthUserFile /var/svn/projects.example.com/test/conf/users
Require valid-user
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Location>
</VirtualHost>
</pre>
Create a users database for the @example@ user:
<pre>
#!ShellExample
# htpasswd -cm /var/svn/projects.example.com/test/conf/users example
</pre>
Change Apache User and Group variables from:
<pre>
User apache
Group apache
</pre>
to:
<pre>
User svn
Group svn
</pre>
For more information, see the "Version Control with Subversion":http://svnbook.red-bean.com/ book chapter "httpd, the Apache HTTP server":http://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/svn-book.html#svn.serverconfig.httpd.
Notice: If using SSL with Lighttpd change ServerName to `https://projects.example.com` or some Subversion commands may not work.
h3. Setup Lighttpd
Setup Lighttpd to use "mod_proxy":http://lighttpd.net/documentation/proxy.html to proxy requests to Apache at port 8080:
<pre>
$HTTP["host"] == "projects.example.com" {
server.document-root = "/var/www/projects.example.com/httpdocs"
proxy.server = (
"/svn/test" => (("host" => "127.0.0.1", "port" => 8080))
)
}
</pre>
h3. Test the setup
Restart Apache and Lighttpd.
Perform initial project import, checkout the test repository, and commit some stuff:
<pre>
#!ShellExample
$ svn import /var/www/projects.example.com/httpdocs file:///var/svn/projects.example.com/test -m "Initial import"
$ svn checkout --username example http://projects.example.com/svn/test
$ cd test
$ svn mkdir testbranches tags trunk
$ svn commit
</pre>
And you should be up and running!
