- Configure WebSVN with the following file:
<?php
// # /var/svn/websvn/include/config.php
$config->setSvnConfigDir('/etc/subversion');
$config->parentPath('/var/svn/repos');
$config->addTemplatePath($locwebsvnreal.'/templates/calm/');
$config->addTemplatePath($locwebsvnreal.'/templates/BlueGrey/');
$config->addTemplatePath($locwebsvnreal.'/templates/Elegant/');
$config->useAuthenticationFile('/var/svn/conf/authz'); // Global access file
$config->addInlineMimeType('text/plain');
$config->setMinDownloadLevel(2);
$config->useGeshi();
set_time_limit(0);
$config->expandTabsBy(8);

chown -R root:www-data /var/svn chmod -R ug=rwX,o= /var/svn/conf chmod g-w /var/svn/conf/apache-svn.conf chmod -R ug=rwX,o= /var/svn/repos chmod -R 750 /var/svn/websvn
