Subversion with cPanel?

[boughtonp]

Searching brings up plenty of questions on this, but no answers.

I would like to install SVN and have it connected with cPanel user accounts. (storing repositories in /home/user directories, so data is included in total space).

I think this requires webDav or mod_dav or something in Apache 2, but I've not found a great deal more information so far, and was wondering if anyone has succesfully setup SVN and/or webDav with cPanel, and if you've got any advice/links/etc that might be useful?

Thanks.

I've been looking into this myself quite a lot lately and still haven't really found a solution. I've tried installing Subversion myself but I can never manage to get mod_dav_svn to install as it asks for httpd_mmn or something.

Some resources which may be useful:

If you're using Apache 2 (with the new easyapache), then you could try compiling subversion from source - I did this and it adds the relevant modules to /usr/local/apache/modules/ as well as httpd.conf.

The only problem I have now is:

Internal error: Can't open file '/path/to/subversion/404.shtml/format': No such file or directory

I can access the repositories fine within my browser - it just doesn't work from the subversion client.

If you need any help getting it installed and running, I can probably help, but until I can fix the error above, I'm stuck too!

Well, I'm getting there...

I've just discovered that having a <Location /> within a subdomain's VirtualHost container applies to all VirtualHosts, not just the subdomain's VirtualHost, as I expected.

I can get Subversion working perfectly with something like http://svn.domain.com/svn/repository_name, but I'd prefer to have it without having "svn" as the directory, because it's already in the subdomain.

Any ideas? I'd be interested to know if there's a way to do a <Location /> for just the current VirtualHost.

OK, not sure how I did it, but it seems to work now.

<Location /> *does* seem to work for a single VirtualHost - I don't know what I did previously that made it affect other VirtualHosts.

The only thing I'm looking for now are a few mod_security rules to allow DAV/SVN access through.

Can anyone help?

We are developing SVN plugin for cPanel. This plugin allow cPanel user to create SVN repository separately. Package will include Subversion1.4 and Trac10.x. It doesn't require Apache2 and doesn't need to edit httpd.conf while cPanel user installing it. Anybody interested to be a beta tester, please email your request to pairote@cpanellicense.com. We are accepting 20 beta tester only.

Thanks for the information all; been very busy and not able to look into any of it yet, but I do need to get this sorted out, and the sooner the better.

That plugin does sound interesting - hope there's still some spaces left in the beta test.

Sorry, testing is closed. We are going to release it in April 15, 2008. It will include in RVSkin. If you already have RVSkin license, you will get it free of charge. It will integrate Subversion and Trac. Also provide frontend to manage svn and trac users, privilege and etc. SVN repository is separated on the user home directory, Apache2 and 1.3 is supported.

PS: willsheldon's Howto above is a great one.
