This is guide, howto install SVN (Subversion) server on Fedora 31/30/29/28, CentOS 8.0/7.7/6.10, Red Hat (RHEL) 8.0/7.7/6.10.
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 ac,
What if you try change your virtual host config:
And restart your web server? Does it make any difference?
This may seem like a silly question, but did you create the repo?

Thank You.
How to adding files in testrepo???
how to change path /tmp/svn-structure-template/….
Hi Fernando,
You can add files simple using “svn add” command, following is full example (howto create some directory, checkout, create file, add it to svn, check status and commit):
Hi,
Thanks for the useful site. Could anyone clarify my doubt. I installed the SVN successfully as per the above method and when i want to access the path it should always ask for the user id and passwrd. Now it is only one time it is asking. Any suggestion please.
try clearing your browser and/or windows cache
the “chcon” section of commands refers to SELINUX permissive states, you can skip that is SELINUX is disabled or not installed at all.
#sestatus command will show you one of its 3 states if installed.
Hi ck,
Very good point, you are totally right that chcon commands it’s not needed if you have SELinux disabled or not installed at all. I will update this guide too, thank you for this.
