Install SVN and TRAC on a RHEL5.1 server

Submitted by chuck on Thu, 05/01/2008 - 14:58

-For future reference-

Install SVN through Redhat repository or from the DVD.

- Create a data directory with subdirectories for svn and trac. ex. /data/svn and /data/trac
- Make sure that both data directories are owned by apache. 'chown -R apache: /data/{svn,trac}'
- Create a subversion repository in /data/svn. ex. /data/svn/test

Install the rpmforge repo to the server by using the appropriate rpm from http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/FAQ.php#B

- yum install trac
- Create a trac project with the same name as the repository. 'trac-admin /data/trac/test initenv'

Setup the apache configurations for subversion and trac

- edit /etc/httpd/conf.d/subversion.conf and add a Location for the repository. ex:
<Location /svn/test>
DAV svn
SVNPath /data/svn/test
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Authorization Realm"
AuthUserFile /data/svn/test/svnpasswd
Require valid-user
</Location>
- Setup the htpasswd file. 'htpasswd -c /data/svn/test/svnpasswd '

- edit /etc/httpd/conf.d/trac.conf and add a Location for the project
<Location /projects/test>
SetHandler mod_python
PythonInterpreter main_interpreter
PythonHandler trac.web.modpython_frontend
PythonOption TracEnv /data/trac/test
PythonOption TracUriRoot /projects/test
</Location>
- Restart apache

The svn repo will be available through http:///svn/test
The trac project will be available through http:///projects/test

This was very helpful to me.

This was very helpful to me. The only things I had to change were the permissions for the repository, making sure that Apache can read and write to the files (basically create the repository first, then change the permissions). I also had to fix the httpd.conf file a little. The modules "dav_module" and "dav_svn_module" needed to be uncommented. Other than that, great post!
