Installing and configuring an Apache Subversion (SVN) server

This procedure describes how to install and configure an Apache Subversion (SVN) server in order to store all your project data (Jobs, Database connections, Routines, Joblets, etc.) in the shared Repository of the Talend Studio.

In the following instructions, lines starting with "#" mean that they must be executed as root. A command line starting with "$" means that it must be executed as standard user.

There are three different methods to install Apache Subversion on Linux:

Installing and configuring Apache Subversion on Linux Ubuntu

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 - www-data
```
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
```
If you have SELinux (Security-Enhanced Linux) enabled on your system, see Talend Help Center (https://help.talend.com).

Installing and configuring Apache Subversion on Linux Redhat

As user apache or as root, install the httpd, mod_dav_svn and subversion packages.
```
# yum install httpd mod_dav_svn subversion
```
Create an svn directory.
```
# mkdir /var/www/svn
```

Create an SVN repository.

# svnadmin create /var/www/svn/repository

Create a username and a password.

# htpasswd -cmb /var/www/svn/passwd admin@company.com admin

Change the owner of the directory to apache.
```
# chown -R apache.apache /var/www/svn
```
Open the SVN configuration file.
```
# vim /etc/httpd/conf.d/subversion.conf
```

Update is as follows:

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

Restart httpd.
```
# /etc/init.d/httpd start
```
If you have SELinux (Security-Enhanced Linux) enabled on your system, see Talend Help Center (https://help.talend.com).
