Subversion over Apache 2 on Debian and authz

I found two great tutorial about installing subversion with http access and using the authz mod.

In short do the following:
sudo apt-get install subversion libapache2-svn
sudo a2enmod dav_svn
sudo nano /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/dav_svn.conf
Enter this:

<Location /svn>
    DAV svn
    SVNPath /srv/svn

    AuthType Basic
    AuthName "Subversion Repository"
    AuthUserFile /etc/apache2/dav_svn.passwd
    AuthzSVNAccessFile /etc/apache2/permission.authz

    Require valid-user
</Location>

Create a svn repository folder under /srv/svn

sudo mkdir /srv/svn
sudo svnadmin create /home/svn

Change the owner of the file
sudo chown -R www-data:subversion /srv/svn
sudo htpasswd -cm /etc/apache2/dav_svn.passwd SVN-USERNAME1
Enter a password

sudo htpasswd -m /etc/apache2/dav_svn.passwd SVN-USERNAME2
Enter a password

Now create and edit the file to hold the permissions and groups

sudo vim /etc/apache2/permission.authz

Enter groups

[groups]
red = USER1, USER2
blue = USER3

Enter the permissions

[/]
* = 

[red-repo]
@red = rw
@blue = r

 

[blue-repo]
@red = r
@blue = rw

Restart apache
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

These are the two mentioned tutorials, with small changes to work on current Debian and respecting the /srv directory mentioned at :
Subversion over Apache 2 on Ubuntu
Access Control for Subversion with Apache2 and Authz

Have fun!
