What is SVN (Subversion)?
Subversion is a free/open-source version control system. Subversion manages files and directories, and the changes made to them, over time. This allows you to recover older versions of your data, or examine the history of how your data changed. In this regard, many people think of a version control system as a sort of "time machine".

Hi gb,
Sounds like some configuration error. Please post your subversion.conf file content. Do you have any other config for subversion or svn path?
Try to check out your repository on some test directory, like following:

Perfect tutorial everything works!
One thing is missing:
– before launching http://localhost/svn/testrepo in the browser apache webserver must be started
/etc/init.d/httpd start
Thanks for the tutorial!
Good guide, I can connect locally, however I cannot connect to the server from a different computer.
I’ve added rules to the firewall config (and even tried disabling the firewall) however I still can’t reach the server from another system.
HI
I followed above steps, I able to install and configured and able to login using http://php.justfordemo.biz/svn/testrepo URL, but, once I try to commite any file I am getting Couldn’t perform atomic initialization error, please help me
Thanks

Hi jyothi,
Did you tried just one time or multiple times?
Could you tell more specific are you using command line or are you using some graphical client?
I tried the first initial import and this is what I get:
svn: access to ‘/svn/wvsrepo’ forbidden
I am not using a AuthzSVNAccessFile
Please help.
Hi ad,
Could you post output of following commands:
Nice one, followed this one,
But after the “step 5. Create and configure SVN repository” please add the apache restart command. I know you do know this.
service httpd restart
I followed this one and had a working SVN repo.. Thanks..
Hi Aneek,
I added apache restart thanks! :)
You are Most welcome JR..
I always keep following your linux based tutorials and articles…
Do you have anything about Samba Server.? I have a great interest in it.
Thanks Aneek! :)
Nice to hear that you follow my Linux based tutorials and articles! ;)
I don’t have anything about Samba Server, because I don’t use Samba and I don’t have any Windows machines… :) But if you have some knowledge about Samba you can of course share it with us. :)
I have followed your tutorial to the letter however when I navigate to the repository via a web browser it does not prompt me for a password.
Hi Brian,
Try to restart apache (as Aneek recommend) with following command:
If it doesn’t help, then please let me know?
Yes, I have the same problem…
