Subversion on apache2
A lot of this wiki is borrowed from the subversion install-manual, and spiced up with some experience
During the build anc configure process you might need some packages.. Just get them by apt-get, and retry.. Quite easy.
Running the Apache2 server is quite limited, but it works great, and finally I can get through “stupid” corporate firewalls (port 80).
Note: The Apache build depends on libtools and m4 which are available for install using funpkg from the /ffp/packages directory.
1: Apache
I only managed to get it to work with Apache 2.0, and NOT 2.2. There is a lot of trouble with Apache versions and APR versions. After a couple of days of investigation i discovered: Apache 2.0.60 + SVN 1.4.2 works with APR 0.9.14 (and the APR-utils)
I never managed to get Apache 2.2.* to work with any APR version
Cleanup
First off, if you have any Subversion libraries lying around from previous 'make installs', clean them up first!
# rm -f /usr/local/lib/libsvn* # rm -f /usr/local/lib/libapr* # rm -f /usr/local/lib/libexpat* # rm -f /usr/local/lib/libneon*
Get apache source
Find a place to download the apache source.
$ svn co http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/httpd/httpd/branches/2.0.x httpd-2.0
Checkout the “apr” and “apr-util” modules into the srclib/ directory:
$ cd httpd-2.0/srclib $ svn co http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/apr/apr/branches/0.9.x apr $ svn co http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/apr/apr-util/branches/0.9.x apr-util
build, configure and install
At the top of the httpd-2.0 tree: (the apache will be installed at /usr/local/apache2.. else change the prefix)
$ ./buildconf $ ./configure --enable-dav --enable-so --enable-maintainer-mode --prefix=/usr/local/apache2 $ make && make install
2: Subversion
Cleanup (again)
First off, if you have any Subversion libraries lying around from previous 'make installs', clean them up first!
# rm -f /usr/local/lib/libsvn* # rm -f /usr/local/lib/libapr* # rm -f /usr/local/lib/libexpat* # rm -f /usr/local/lib/libneon*
Get subversion
Find a place to download the sourcecode
$ wget http://subversion.tigris.org/downloads/subversion-1.4.2.tar.gz $ wget http://subversion.tigris.org/downloads/subversion-deps-1.4.2.tar.gz $ tar -zxvf subversion-1.4.2.tar.gz $ tar -zxvf subversion-deps-1.4.2.tar.gz
Important: Ensure the same APR's
$ cd subversion-1.4.2 $ rm -rf apr* $ svn co http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/apr/apr/branches/0.9.x apr $ svn co http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/apr/apr-util/branches/0.9.x apr-util
Autogen
Run:
sh ./autogen.sh
build, configure and install
In the apr directory within the subversion tree, create the apr configuration:
./buildconf
Same for apr-util.
At the top of the subversion tree:
NOTICE: if you have changed the prefix, remember to change it below.
$ ./configure --enable-maintainer-mode --with-apxs=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs $ make && make install
3: Adjust httpd.conf
cd /usr/local/apache2/conf pico httpd.conf
Change port-number and server-name
At the buttom of httpd.conf setup the SVN paths:
<Location /repos> DAV svn SVNPath /path/to/repository/ # SVNParentPath /path/to/parent repository/ # if you have different repositories under this path </Location>
4: Launch the server
$ /usr/local/apache2/bin/apachectl start
