Install Subversion with Web Access on Ubuntu

For this post, I will just add my feedback on top of this very good tutorial. Here is my no-brainer feedback with Ubuntu Server 7.04 (you can also get this info by reading the comments of the tutorial).

• In the config file /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/dav_svn.conf, you also have to uncomment the #</location> which is located at the very of end of file.
  
  
• The command htpasswd2 is not present but htpasswd seems to do the job also.
  
  
• Your svn repositories that you want to access from the web should read/writable by apache, so don't forget to chown -R www-data:www-data /your_svn_rep.
  
  
• If you don't want anonymous access add this:
  AuthType Basic
  
  AuthName "Subversion Repository"
  
  AuthUserFile /etc/apache2/dav_svn.passwd
  
  Require valid-user
