Source: http://www.if-not-true-then-false.com/2010/install-svn-subversion-server-on-fedora-centos-red-hat-rhel/

1. Change root user

su - ## OR ## sudo -i

2. Install needed packages (mod_dav_svn and subversion)

yum install mod_dav_svn subversion

Note: If you don’t have Apache installed already, this command installs it also. Read more about installing Apache and PHP >>

3. Modify Subversion config file /etc/httpd/conf.d/subversion.conf

Add following config to /etc/httpd/conf.d/subversion.conf file:

LoadModule dav_svn_module modules/mod_dav_svn.so LoadModule authz_svn_module modules/mod_authz_svn.so   svn> DAV svn SVNParentPath /var/www/svn AuthType Basic AuthName "Subversion repositories" AuthUserFile /etc/svn-auth-users Require valid-user

4. Add SVN (Subversion) users

Use following command:

## Create testuser ## htpasswd -cm /etc/svn-auth-users testuser New password: Re-type new password: Adding password for user testuser   ## Create testuser2 ## htpasswd -m /etc/svn-auth-users testuser2 New password: Re-type new password: Adding password for user testuser2

Note: Use exactly same file and path name as used on subversion.conf file. This example use /etc/svn-auth-users file.

5. Create and configure SVN repository

mkdir /var/www/svn cd /var/www/svn   svnadmin create testrepo chown -R apache.apache testrepo     ## If you have SELinux enabled (you can check it with "sestatus" command) ## ## then change SELinux security context with chcon command ##   chcon -R -t httpd_sys_content_t /var/www/svn/testrepo   ## Following enables commits over http ## chcon -R -t httpd_sys_rw_content_t /var/www/svn/testrepo

Restart Apache:

/etc/init.d/httpd restart ## OR ## service httpd restart

Goto http://localhost/svn/testrepo address and you should see something like following, write username and password:
SVN testrepo revision 0:

6. Configure repository

To disable anonymous access and enable access control add following rows to testrepo/conf/svnserve.conf file:

## Disable anonymous access ## anon-access = none   ## Enable access control ## authz-db = authz

7. Create trunk, branches and tags structure under testrepo

Create “template” directories with following command:

mkdir -p /tmp/svn-structure-template/{trunk,branches,tags}

Then import template to project repository using “svn import” command:

svn import -m 'Initial import' /tmp/svn-structure-template/ http://localhost/svn/testrepo/ Adding /tmp/svn-structure-template/trunk Adding /tmp/svn-structure-template/branches Adding /tmp/svn-structure-template/tags   Committed revision 1.

Check results on browser and see testrepo revision 1:
