Installing and configuring Apache Subversion on Linux Ubuntu

Procedure

Install the subversion, apache2 and libapache2-svn packages.
```
# apt-get install subversion apache2 libapache2-svn
```
Create an svn directory, at the root of your system for example.
```
# mkdir /svn
```
Change the owner of the directory to the webserver user, www-data by default.
```
# chown www-data:www-data /svn
```
Switch to www-data user.
```
# su -l www-data -s /bin/bash
```
Create a new SVN repository, my_repo for example.
```
$ svnadmin create /svn/my_repo
```

Create a user and a password.

$ htpasswd -cmb /svn/passwd talend_admin secretpassword

Open the SVN configuration file.

# vi /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/dav_svn.conf

Update it as follows:

<Location /my_repo>
DAV svn
SVNPath /svn/my_repo
AuthUserFile /svn/passwd
Require valid-user
AuthType basic
AuthName "Subversion"
</Location>

Restart Apache Subversion.
```
# /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
```
