HOWTO - Apache2 + Subversion + SSL

I needed install Apache2 + Subversion and i have searching for info, etc. and now i'm decide to create this tutorial, i hope you like!

Here we go:

INSTALL APACHE2

To install apache2 run that command:
Code:
sudo apt-get install apache2
(if you want also install php and mysql just follow this Link)

After you will install subversion:
Code:
sudo apt-get install subversion
(in that moment doens't exist the pre-buil binary of the last version (1.2.1), but when it's out you can simple upgrade )

To use svn with apache you need install libapache2-svn:
Code:
sudo apt-get install libapache2-svn
Now is better restart apache :
Code:
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
If you don't want SSL go to the last instructions (dav_svn.conf configurations, and users accounts).

Run:
Code:
a2enmod ssl
Add "Listen 443" to /etc/apache2/ports.conf:
Code:
sudo gedit /etc/apache2/ports.conf
Run:
Code:
apache2-ssl-certificate
Create a new SSL configuration file:
Code:
sudo cp /etc/apache2/sites-available/default /etc/apache2/sites-available/myown-ssl
Edit myown-ssl file:
Code:
sudo gedit /etc/apache2/sites-available/myown-ssl
Change:
Code:
NameVirtualHost *
to
Code:
NameVirtualHost *:443
and
Code:
to
Code:
Add before :
Code:
SSLEngine on
SSLCertificateFile /etc/apache2/ssl/apache.pem
SSLProtocol all
SSLCipherSuite HIGH:MEDIUM
Run:
Code:
a2ensite myown-ssl
Restart Apache:
Code:
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
Last instruction:

Edit dav_svn configuration file and follow the instructions:
Code:
sudo gedit /etc/apache2/mods-available/dav_svn.conf
Restart apache:
Code:
 sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart - werkt niet meer-> nu
# /usr/sbin/make-ssl-cert /usr/share/ssl-cert/ssleay.cnf /etc/apache2/apache.pem
Daarna apache.pem in /etc/apache2/ssl/ stoppen (waarbij ssl handmatig aangemaakt)
Create SVN folder:
Code:
sudo svnadmin create /srv/svn
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /srv/svn
sudo chmod -R g+ws /srv/svn
Create the users account file:
Code:
sudo htpasswd2 -c /etc/apache2/dav_svn.passwd svnuser
(after asks for a password)

Test SVN:
Code:
svn import .bashrc https://localhost/svn/testfile -mlogentry
That is all!!!


For the SSL instructions i have follow this Tutorial.
About how using SVN see the official SVN book here or visit the official website (Link).

Any error, please report! (and not only in the istructions but also in the english...)
