SVN (Subversion) Access Control with Apache and mod_authz_svn - Comment Page: 3
I just wrote guide, howto install SVN (Subversion) Server on Fedora, CentOS and Red Hat (RHEL). No I decided to write more information about SVN Access Control. This guide works if you have installed Apache, Subversion (SVN) and mod_dav_svn on any Linux system, like Ubuntu, Debian, Arch, Gentoo, not only Fedora, CentOS or Red Hat (RHEL).

Hi,
Am using SVN for my project to commit my codes. we have different users using our repository. we are using hudson for build and deployment. So once i start the build process i would like to restrict other users to commit the code i.e; making other users to read oly mode. is it possible to do some thing with svn_access file?. this should be done automatically on every build. Could some help on this?
Hi Arunkumar,
It should be possible, when you change permission “r” to all users, but maybe better way is create new tag, when you have new release, like:
Then build your release tag and all users can use (read and write) repository (trunk) normally.
Do you have instruction on how to integrate Apache/SVN/LDAP? I just can’t make it work after two days.

Hi JR,
I have installed subversion through “yum install mod_dav_svn subversion” Command but i can’t find any access control file in “/etc/ path, only i see svn-auth-users, Did u create the file or you renamed the file…?
i need to give access level to the repos pls share
Hi Kavaskar,
I created /etc/svn-auth-users and then used that file on subversion.conf (step 4.):
You can use any file name, if you just add it after AuthzSVNAccessFile to config.
Facing the same problem, SElinux is disabled. Please assist.
I am getting 403 Forbidden You don’t have permission to access /svn/ on this server error after completion of this steps. Can you please help me to resolve that.
even after following all the steps im able checkout the code via any user from the svn repo so can anybody tell me wat im doing wrong?
When I modify password with htpasswd command for a existing user, this password works for SVN checkout and update from folder level.
However for SVN console it doesn’t work, I can login using the old password.
