Subversion Server

Subversion needs Apache version 2.x to work.

Building Apache

• Download Apache source httpd-2.2.9.tar.gz or newer source code
• Build the source

cd httpd-2.2.9
./configure --enable-ssl --enable-so --enable-dav --prefix=/opt/httpd-2.2.9
make
make install

Configuring Apache

Edit /opt/httpd-2.2.9/conf/httpd.conf

Replace "Listen 80" with "Listen 8080"

This version of Apache should run separate from the regular web server. We need to change the port it uses so it does not screw with the existing Apache server.

Using Apache

/opt/httpd-2.2.9/bin/apachectl start

Starts the server

/opt/httpd-2.2.9/bin/apachectl stop

Stops the server

/opt/httpd-2.2.9/bin/apachectl configtest

Tests the configuration located at /opt/httpd-2.2.9/conf/httpd.conf
