How to create SVN repository on server?

Question

How to create SVN repository on server? Although i have found various articles on this but still facing issues while creating repository on my website. Right now i am using assembla as my SVN repository, but want to create my own on my hosting.

Answer 1

1. Create a Repository:

   svnadmin create /svnrepos

2. Create a SVN User

   vi /svnrepos/conf/svnserve.conf

   anon-access = none

   auth-access = write

   password-db = passwd

   And add users in the format: user = password

   E.g.: tony = mypassword

3. Import Your Project

   (Assuming you’ve put your project files in /projects/myrailsproject)

   svn import /projects/myrailsproject file:///svnrepos/myrailsproject

4. Start the SVN Server as Daemon

   svnserve -d

   Done! You should now have an Apache Subversion server running with one project named myrailsproject.

   Try checking it out of the repository:

   svn co svn://192.168.0.2/svnrepos/myyrailsproject

   Since we set anon-access to none you should be prompted for username and password which you created in the file /svnrepos/conf/passwd.
