KDE+Apache+SVN Installation Guide

KDE+Apache+SVN Installation Guide

 

Server Side:

 

OS: Fedora 7

 

Software:

SVN: Subversion 1.5.1

HTTPD: Apache Httpd 2.2.11

APR: Apache Apr 1.3.3

APU: Apache Apr-Util 1.3.4

 

1.Build these software by the following orders:

 

(1)Apr

(2)Apr-util

(3)Httpd

(4)Svn

 

1.1  Install Apache Apr

 

# tar -xzvf apr-1.3.3.tar.gz

# cd apr-1.3.3

# ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/ap

# make

# make install

 

1.2  Install Apache Apr-Util

 

# tar -xzvf apr-util-1.3.4.tar.gz
# cd apr-util-1.3.4
# ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apr-util --with-apr=/usr/local/apr
# make
# make install

 

1.3  Install Apache Httpd

# tar -xzvf httpd-2.2.11.tar.gz
# cd httpd-2.2.11
# ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache2 --enable-dav --with-apr=/usr/local/apr --with-apr-util=/usr/local/apr-util
# make
# make install

 

1.4  Install Subversion

# tar -xzvf subversion-1.5.1.tar.gz
# cd subversion-1.5.1
# ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/subversion --with-apxs=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs  --with-apr=/usr/local/apr --with-apr-util=/usr/local/apr-util
# make
# make install

 

1.5  Check WebDav for SVN

 

# cd /usr/local/apache2/modules

 

Make sure both mod_dav_svn.so and mod_authz_svn.so exists

 

2. Create Apache users

 

# groupadd svn
# useradd -g svn svn
# passwd svn

 

3. Configure SVN server

 

3.1 Create the directory for svn repository

 

# mkdir /home/svnroot/repository 

 

3.2 Create the file which you want to import to svn repository

 

# mkdir /home/lx/import

# cd /home/lx/import

# vi test.c

 

3.3 Create the repository “test”

 

# cd /usr/local/subversion/bin

# ./svnadmin create /home/svnroot/repository/test 

# cd /home/svnroot/repository/test

# ls -l  

If some files appear in this directory, then the repository “test” is successfully created.

 

3.4 Import the file into the repository

 

# cd /usr/local/subversion/bin

# ./svn import /home/lx/import file:///home/svnroot/repository/test -m ""  

# chmod a+rw /home/svnroot/repository

 

3.5.Create Svn users

 

#htpasswd –c /home/svnroot/repository/authfile svn

 

Then input the password for user “svn” twice.

 

Tips:

The user information will be stored in “/home/svnroot/repository/authfile”

To create the first user, use the option “-c”.

To create the second and the following users, user the option “-m”.

 

For example:

#htpasswd –m /home/svnroot/repository/authfile lx

 

4 configure httpd

 

Modify the default httpd user

#vi /usr/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf

 

.........................

#

# If you wish httpd to run as a different user or group, you must run
# httpd as root initially and it will switch. 

#

# User/Group: The name (or #number) of the user/group to run httpd as.

# It is usually good practice to create a dedicated user and group for

# running httpd, as with most system services.

#

#User daemon

#Group daemon

User svn

Group svn

……………………………………

 

Add the following configurations at the end of the httpd.conf file

DAV svn

SVNParentPath /home/svnroot/repository

AuthzSVNAccessFile /home/svnroot/repository/authz 

AuthType Basic

AuthName "subversion"

AuthUserFile /home/svnroot/repository/authfile  

Require valid-user

 

5 modify authentication file

 

# cp /home/svnroot/repository/test/conf/authz /home/svnroot/repository/

# vi /home/svnroot/repository/authz

 

[groups]

[test:/]

svn = rw //read and write permission for user svn in root directory of test repository

lx = rw

* = r //all the users have read permission in test repository

 

#chmod a+rw /home/svnroot/repository/authz

 

6 Start apache server

 

# cd /usr/local/appache2/bin/

# ./apachect1 start

 

Client Side:

 

OS: Ubuntu 7.10

 

Software: kdesvn, konqueror, kdevelop

 

Since K Desktop Environment contains kdevelop and konqueror, if KDE is installed, you may not install kdevelop and konqueror again. Otherwise, you can use the following commands to install these tools.

 

sudo apt-get install konqueror

sudo apt-get install kdevelop

 

Konqueror is a web browser and file manager KDE. We use it here to browse and check out files for a specified project that managed by a SVN server.

Kdevelop is used to edit files, which have been checked out from SVN repository, and check in.

 

Then install kdesvn, a svn client for KDE.

 

sudo apt-get install kdesvn

 

Make sure kdesvn is installed:

Open konqueror, right click and navigate to “Actions” in the pop menu, if the sub menu “Subversion(kdesvn)” appears, that means this is a good installation.

 

How to use SVN in KDE client：

 

Open konqueror and navigate to “”, input the svn userid “svn”and password “123456”, then you can see the file “test.c” and the revision information.

 

1) Check out the project “test”

a) Right click the mouse, and select “Action->subversion->check out from repository” in the pop menu.

b) Then input the local target directory:”/tmp/lx/” and click OK button. Now the project “test” is under the directory “/tmp/lx”

 

2) Check in the project “test”

 

a) Open kdevelop and import the existing project “/tmp/lx/test”,

b) Modify the project option

  “Project”-> “Project Options” -> “Version Control”, select “subversion” and click OK.

c) Edit the file “test.c” and save it.

d) Right click and select “subversion” -> “commit to repository”, then you can check in this file.

 

  If you need to add a new file “test2.c” to this project and check in, you may do as follows:

e) Add a new file “test2.c” to this project.

f) Edit and save it.

g) Right click and select “subversion” -> “add to repository”

h) Right click and select “subversion” -> “commit to repository”
