LAMP + SVN in Ubuntu

Quick Ubuntu Server installation for LAMP + SVN

First we need a clean installation of Ubuntu Server (works with Debian as well).

After the installation in the console we are going to install, Apache, Mysql, PhpMyAdmin and Proftpd

apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
apt-get install mysql-server libapache2-mod-auth-mysql php5-mysql php5-gd phpmyadmin proftpd

To make easier the administration I like to use Webmin (replace ? for current version here):

apt-get install ssh libmd5-perl libio-pty-perl libauthen-pam-perl libnet-ssleay-perl libpam-runtime openssl perl perl-modules
wget http://site.com/path/webmin.?????.deb
dpkg –install webmin.?????.deb

Now the svn:

apt-get install subversion subversion-tools websvn

Creating a repository

mkdir /svn/
mkdir /svn/MYREPOSITORYNAME
chown -R www-data /svn/MYREPOSITORYNAME
chmod -R g+rws /svn/MYREPOSITORYNAME
svnadmin create /svn/MYREPOSITORYNAME

Setup users

htpasswd -c /etc/subversion/passwd users

Setup repository access (web)

vi /etc/apache2/mods-available/dav_svn.conf

Inside something like this:

<Location /svn/myproject>
DAV svn
SVNPath /svn/myproject
AuthType Basic
AuthName “myproject subversion repository”
AuthUserFile /etc/subversion/passwd
<LimitExcept GET PROPFIND OPTIONS REPORT>
Require valid-user
</LimitExcept>
</Location>
