Building Apache for SVN & mod_dav_svn

[Reza Mostafid <em...@yahoo.com>]

Hi everyone,
  I am trying to build Apache configured for use as an SVN server 
on a LINUX machine ( FEDORA Core 5 / Intel P4 ). 
  I have tried my hand sucessfully at building open-source SW on 
Linux before. However I am new to Subversion. I would apreciate 
pointers to the following questions:
  
1.) Is a properly built and configured Apache server all I need 
to have running, to act as a server for SVN? Or is there something 
else required to be running alongside Apache?
  2.) Apart from 'mod_dav' & 'mod_dav_svn', what else do I need in 
order to configure 'Apache' as a server for SVN clients?  
  3.) Can I add the additional Apache modules needed for SVN support 
statically when compiling the Apache server or do I >HAVE< to 
include them dynamicaly with DSO support?
  4.) It is not obvious to me, but >WHERE< do I find the 'mod_dav_svn' 
module ( I have tried searching the obvious places such as the ASF's 
module site, but I don't seem to see the forest for the trees ). 
Does the 'mod_dav_svn' come as *.c file somewhere? What does it look 
like and where do I find it? 
  5.) Could someone outline the steps for statically including the 
required modules in Apache ( In case it's not quite obvious or 
straightforward ) or alternatively kindly provide links to a site 
where a brief outline is shared by someone who has done this before?
  
Thanks

The packaged version works fine on FC5:

yum install subversion mod_dav_svn

I've forgotten where the documentation lands if there is any,
but you basically just edit /etc/httpd/conf.d/subversion.conf
and 'service httpd restart' to activate it.

Hi Reza
If you really want to do it all from source,
this is from my notes recently on a SuSE linux 9.3 box

1. Build latest Apache2 from source.
use enable-ssl enable-so enable-dav at least.  
You should end up with 
mod_dav_svn.so 
mod_authz_svn.so 
in apache modules dir after the make install. 

Also the Load Module directives will have been inserted into the 
httpd.conf 
file for you. 
LoadModule dav_svn_module modules/mod_dav_svn.so 
LoadModule authz_svn_module modules/mod_authz_svn.so 

2. Build latest stable Subversion server version Subversion 1.3.1 at time 
of writing. 
(a) use with-ssl with-apxs=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs.  
(b) Download and buld latest SWIG and build src in /usr/local/src/swig- 
1.3.4 or what-ever version you use. 
configure 
make 
make install 
should build it. 

(c) Install the subversion-python bindings 
by doing make install-swig-py from subversion src dir. These are needed 
if you want to use ViewVc [ formally ViewCVS ]. 

(d) add svn-python to the system library PATH by editing /etc/ld.so.conf 
with these lines 
/usr/local/lib/svn-python 
/usr/local/lib/svn-python/libsvn 
/usr/local/lib/svn-python/svn 
Then run /sbin/ldconfig. 

(e) Also add symbolic links into the system Python site-packages dir, 
pointing to the new binaries you just installed. 
In /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages 
create:-
libsvn -> /usr/local/lib/svn-python/libsvn/
libsvn_swig_py-1.so -> /usr/local/lib/libsvn_swig_py-1.so 
libsvn_swig_py-1.so.0 -> /usr/local/lib/libsvn_swig_py-1.so.0 
svn -> /usr/local/lib/svn-python/svn 
This is usually needed to get ViewVC cgi working correctly.
