- \n
- Install Apache Httpd on CentOS 7<\/li>\n
- Install Subversion<\/li>\n
- Configure the Subversion Repository<\/li>\n
- Generate SSL Letsencrypt for CentOS Apache Httpd<\/li>\n
- Configure Subversion Virtual Host on Apache Httpd<\/li>\n
- Testing<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
Step 1 – Install Apache Httpd on CentOS 7<\/h2>\n
The first step in this guide is to install the Apache httpd packages on your system.<\/p>\n
Install Apache httpd using the yum command below.<\/p>\n
yum -y install httpd httpd-tools mod_ssl<\/p>\n
And after the installation is complete, we need to add the HTTP service to the firewalld service lists.<\/p>\n
Run firewall-cmd commands below.<\/p>\n
firewall-cmd –permanent –zone=public –add-service=http
firewall-cmd –reload<\/p>\nNow start the httpd service and add it to be started at boot.<\/p>\n
systemctl start httpd
systemctl enable httpd<\/p>\nThe Apache httpd is up and running on the server.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\nStep 2 – Install Apache Subversion (SVN)<\/h2>\n
In this tutorial, we will install the subversion packages from the base CentOS 7 repository.<\/p>\n
Install Subversion and all required packages using the yum command below.<\/p>\n
yum -y install subversion subversion-tools mod_dav_svn<\/p>\n
Wait until all packages are installed and then check the svn version.<\/p>\n
svn –version<\/p>\n
![\"Install](\"https:\/\/afaghhosting.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/how-to-setup-apache-subversion-with-https-letsencrypt-on-centos-7-1.png\" "\\"\\"")
<\/a><\/p>\nStep 3 – Configure the Subversion (SVN) Repository<\/h2>\n
After the Subversion installation, we configure the master subversion repository directory. We will create a new ‘svn’ directory where all source code and repositories will be stored.<\/p>\n
Create a new ‘\/svn’ master directory.<\/p>\n
mkdir \/svn<\/p>\n
And create a new sample repository named ‘hakase-project’ using the svnadmin command below.<\/p>\n
svnadmin create \/svn\/hakase-project<\/p>\n
Now change the owner of the ‘\/svn\/hakase-project’ directory to the ‘apache’ user and group.<\/p>\n
sudo chown -R apache:apache \/svn\/hakase-project<\/p>\n
And the svn repository has been created.<\/p>\n
![\"Configure](\"https:\/\/afaghhosting.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/how-to-setup-apache-subversion-with-https-letsencrypt-on-centos-7-2.png\" "\\"\\"")
<\/a><\/p>\nNote:<\/strong><\/p>\n
Additional for SELinux users, run commands below.<\/p>\n
chcon -R -t httpd_sys_content_t \/svn\/hakase-project
chcon -R -t httpd_sys_rw_content_t \/svn\/hakase-project<\/p>\nStep 4 – Generate Let’s encrypt SSL Certificate for Apache<\/h2>\n
In this tutorial, we configure the svn server to use the HTTPS connection with a domain named ‘svn.hakase-labs.io’. We will use a free Let’s encrypt SSL certificate which can be generated with the certbot tool.<\/p>\n
Install certbot on the CentOS server with the yum command below.<\/p>\n
yum -y install certbot<\/p>\n
When the installation is complete, we need to add the HTTPS service to the firewalld services list.<\/p>\n
Run firewalld commands below.<\/p>\n
firewall-cmd –add-service=https –zone=public –permanent
firewall-cmd –reload<\/p>\nNow stop the httpd service, so we can generate the SSL Letsencrypt using the ‘standalone’ temporary web server.<\/p>\n
systemctl stop httpd<\/p>\n
![\"Generate](\"https:\/\/afaghhosting.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/how-to-setup-apache-subversion-with-https-letsencrypt-on-centos-7-3.png\" "\\"\\"")
<\/a><\/p>\nGenerate the Letsencrypt SSL Cert for the domain name ‘svn.hakase-labs.io’ using the certbot command below.<\/p>\n
certbot certonly –rsa-key-size 4096 –standalone –agree-tos –no-eff-email –email [email\u00a0protected]<\/a> -d svn.hakase-labs.io<\/p>\n
Now you will get the certificate files on the ‘\/etc\/letsencrypt\/live’ directory.<\/p>\n
![\"Use](\"https:\/\/afaghhosting.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/how-to-setup-apache-subversion-with-https-letsencrypt-on-centos-7-4.png\" "\\"\\"")
<\/a><\/p>\nStep 5 – Configure Subversion Virtual Host on Apache Httpd<\/h2>\n
In this step, we will create a new Apache httpd configuration for the svn access. We will configure the svn repository using a domain name ‘svn.hakase-labs.io’, and it will be accessible only for the registered users using the HTTP basic auth.<\/p>\n
Go to the ‘\/etc\/httpd\/conf.d’ directory and create a new svn configuration ‘svn.conf’.<\/p>\n
cd \/etc\/httpd\/conf.d\/
vim svn.conf<\/p>\nPaste configurations below.<\/p>\n
<VirtualHost svn.hakase-labs.io:80> \n \nServerName svn.hakase-labs.io \nDocumentRoot \/var\/www\/html \nRedirect permanent \/ https:\/\/svn.hakase-labs.io \n \n<\/VirtualHost> \n \n<VirtualHost svn.hakase-labs.io:443> \n \nDocumentRoot \/var\/www\/html \nServerName svn.hakase-labs.io \n \nSSLEngine on \nSSLProtocol all -SSLv2 \nSSLCipherSuite ALL:!ADH:!EXPORT:!SSLv2:RC4+RSA:+HIGH:+MEDIUM:+LOW \nSSLCertificateFile \/etc\/letsencrypt\/live\/svn.hakase-labs.io\/fullchain.pem \nSSLCertificateKeyFile \/etc\/letsencrypt\/live\/svn.hakase-labs.io\/privkey.pem \n \nErrorLog logs\/svn_error_log \nTransferLog logs\/svn_access_log \nLogLevel warn \n \n<location \/repo> \nDAV svn \nSVNParentPath \/svn\/ \nAuthType Basic \nAuthName \"Authorization Realm\" \nAuthUserFile \/etc\/subversion\/svn.users \nRequire valid-user \n<\/location> \n \n<Files ~ \"\\.(cgi|shtml|phtml|php3?)$\"> SSLOptions +StdEnvVars \n<\/Files> \n \nSetEnvIf User-Agent \".*MSIE.*\" \\ nokeepalive ssl-unclean-shutdown \\ downgrade-1.0 force-response-1.0 \nCustomLog logs\/ssl_request_log \\ \"%t %h %{SSL_PROTOCOL}x %{SSL_CIPHER}x \\\"%r\\\" %b\" \n<\/VirtualHost><\/pre>\nSave the file and exit the editor.<\/p>\n
Next, we need to create a new list of users that will be able to view and commit files to the repository.<\/p>\n
Create a new user named ‘hakase’ using the htpasswd command below.<\/p>\n
sudo htpasswd -cm \/etc\/subversion\/svn.users hakase<\/p>\n
Now restart the Apache httpd services.<\/p>\n
systemctl restart httpd<\/p>\n
The ‘hakase’ user now has an access to view and commit the source code to the ‘hakase-project’ repository.<\/p>\n
![\"Configure](\"https:\/\/afaghhosting.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/how-to-setup-apache-subversion-with-https-letsencrypt-on-centos-7-5.png\" "\\"\\"")
<\/a><\/p>\nStep 6 – Testing<\/h2>\n
Viewing Repository<\/h3>\n
Open your web browser and type the server URL, mine is this one:\u00a0https:\/\/svn.hakase-labs.io\/repo\/hakase-project\/<\/p>\n
And you will be shown the basic user authentication prompt.<\/p>\n
![\"Login](\"https:\/\/afaghhosting.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/how-to-setup-apache-subversion-with-https-letsencrypt-on-centos-7-6.png\" "\\"\\"")
<\/a><\/p>\nLogin with the ‘hakase’ user and password, and following is the result.<\/p>\n
![\"SVN](\"https:\/\/afaghhosting.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/how-to-setup-apache-subversion-with-https-letsencrypt-on-centos-7-7.png\" "\\"\\"")
<\/a><\/p>\nImport a Project to the Repository<\/h3>\n
Now we will import the svn sample project templates to the ‘hakase-project’ repository.<\/p>\n
Create a new svn-templates project directory.<\/p>\n
mkdir -p ~\/svn-templates\/{trunk,branches,tags}<\/p>\n
Add all templates directory to the ‘hakase-project’ repository using the svn command below.<\/p>\n
svn import -m ‘Initial import’ ~\/svn-templates\/ https:\/\/svn.hakase-labs.io\/repo\/hakase-project\/ –username hakase<\/p>\n
Now you will be asked following things.<\/p>\n
- \n
- Type ‘p’ to add permanently the Letsencrypt certificate.<\/li>\n
- Type the ‘hakase’ user and password.<\/li>\n
- And type ‘yes’ to confirm about the saving unencrypted password.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
![\"Import](\"https:\/\/afaghhosting.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/how-to-setup-apache-subversion-with-https-letsencrypt-on-centos-7-8.png\" "\\"\\"")
<\/a><\/p>\nCheck the ‘hakase-project’ from the web browser, and you will get all the templates directory on it.<\/p>\n
![\"Project](\"https:\/\/afaghhosting.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/how-to-setup-apache-subversion-with-https-letsencrypt-on-centos-7-9.png\" "\\"\\"")
<\/a><\/p>\nClone the Repository<\/h3>\n
After creating and upload the svn templates directory, we want to clone or copy the repository to the local environment.<\/p>\n
Create a new normal user and login to the user.<\/p>\n
useradd -m -s \/bin\/bash misaka
su – misaka<\/p>\nClone the ‘hakase-project’ repository the local directory named ‘myproject’ as a ‘hakase’ user.<\/p>\n
svn co https:\/\/svn.hakase-labs.io\/repo\/hakase-project\/ ~\/myproject –username hakase<\/p>\n
And you will be asked again about those things below.<\/p>\n
- \n
- Type ‘p’ to add permanently the Letsencrypt certificate.<\/li>\n
- Type the ‘hakase’ user and password.<\/li>\n
- And type ‘yes’ to confirm about the saving unencrypted password.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
![\"Clone](\"https:\/\/afaghhosting.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/how-to-setup-apache-subversion-with-https-letsencrypt-on-centos-7-10.png\" "\\"\\"")
<\/a><\/p>\nAnd when it’s complete, check the new ‘myproject’ directory and you will get all svn templates.<\/p>\n
tree ~\/myproject<\/p>\n
![\"Tree](\"https:\/\/afaghhosting.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/how-to-setup-apache-subversion-with-https-letsencrypt-on-centos-7-11.png\" "\\"\\"")
<\/a><\/p>\nCommit The Code or Documents<\/h3>\n
Go to the ‘myproject’ directory.<\/p>\n
cd myproject\/<\/p>\n
Create some files on the ‘trunk’ directory.<\/p>\n
echo ‘this is my repo’ > trunk\/test-hakase.txt
echo ‘this is my repo01’ > trunk\/test-hakase01.txt
echo ‘this is my repo02’ > trunk\/test-hakase02.txt<\/p>\nAdd and commit.<\/p>\n
svn add trunk\/* –username hakase
svn commit -m ‘new file added’ –username hakase<\/p>\n![\"Commit](\"https:\/\/afaghhosting.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/how-to-setup-apache-subversion-with-https-letsencrypt-on-centos-7-12.png\" "\\"\\"")
<\/a><\/p>\nCheck the repository from the web browser, and you will see all files have been added to the repository.<\/p>\n
![\"Documents](\"https:\/\/afaghhosting.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/how-to-setup-apache-subversion-with-https-letsencrypt-on-centos-7-13.png\" "\\"\\"")
