SVN Manager
Posted by Planet Malaysia on March 26, 2006
I believe a lot of people start using Subversion now a day. Do you have any problem for manage more that 1000 people or more using subversion? I suggest you try SVNManager (web based).
SVNManager is a web based tool to administer a Unix/Linux Apache WebDAV Subversion repository server.
With SVNManager, you can remotely:
- Create, remove, load and dump repositories
- Manage user accounts for access to the repositories
- Manage groups for acces to the repositories
- Invite users by email to create an account on the server
- Requirements:
- Windows or *nix Operation System
- Apache 2
- Subversion
- PHP 5 + Pear + VersionControl_SVN
- MySQL/SQLlite
Installations Guides:
- 1. Apache2 – httpd-2.0.54
- ./configure –prefix=/usr/local/apache2 –enable-dav –enable-dav_fs–enable-so –enable-ssl –enable-maintainer-mode
- make; make install
- edit httpd.conf
- #Add these 2 lines into /usr/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf ( for PHP usage )
- AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .phtml
- AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
- #Add “< Location >” in /usr/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf (for SVN use)”< /Location >”
DAV svn
SVNParentPath /data/repos
AuthzSVNAccessFile /data/repos/accessfile
Require valid-user
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Subversion repository"
AuthUserFile /data/repos/passwdfile
- 2. PHP-5.04 (Currently not working with PHP 5.0.5)
- ./configure –prefix=/usr/local/php5 –with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs –with-curl –with-mysql
- make; make install
- make sure php5_module in /usr/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf
e.g. LoadModule php5_module modules/libphp5.so
- 3. Subversion
- ./configure –with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs –enable-maintainer-mode
- make ; make install
- Make sure these 2 lines in /usr/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf
- Make sure you can find these files:
LoadModule dav_svn_module modules/mod_dav_svn.so
LoadModule authz_svn_module modules/mod_authz_svn.so
find /usr/local/apache2 -name mod_dav_svn.so
find /usr/local/apache2 -name mod_authz_svn.so
locate libsvn_repos-1.so.0
- 4. SVNManger-0.36
- tar xvfz svnmanager-1.x.x.tar.gz /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/
- Edit the “config.php” according to your situation (config.php is a Linux template and config.php.win is a Windows template. If you use Windows, please copy config.php.win over config.php)
- Enter the locations of the Subversion command line tools and the Apache htpassword tool on your system.
- Enter the location of the Subversion repository folder, the Apache htpassword file and the Subversion access file.
- Example of config.php
- Create a directory mkdir “data/repos”
- Create a text file for ( passwdfile / accessfile )
- These files and folders need to be readable and writeable by the user that is running the Apache server!
- You must start with an empty repository folder, because SVNManager will overwrite existing folders when you create them via SVNManager. If you want to add existing repositories, dump them, see Subversion manual and load them via SVNManager.
- Enter the address of your smtp server (e.g. mail.mailserver.com)
- Enter the Data Source Name of the back end database:
- This can either be the location of a mysql database, e.g. on your system or a SQLlite database on your webserver.
- Enter the login data of a temporary administrator account. This account can be used to login the first time. This account will be disabled after you have created a user with SVNManager, with administrator privileges.
- Create a new database ‘svnmanager’ – Suggest use Webmin
- execute SQL createtables.sql ( from svnmanager folder )
$htpassword_cmd = “/usr/local/apache2/bin/htpasswd”;
$svn_cmd = “/usr/local/bin/svn”;
$svnadmin_cmd = “/usr/local/bin/svnadmin”;
// Subversion locations
$svn_repos_loc = “/data/repos”;
$svn_passwd_file = “/data/repos/passwdfile”;
$svn_access_file = “/data/repos/accessfile”;
// SMTP Server for outgoing mail
$smtp_server = “smtp.example.com”;
// Data Source Name (I choose MYSQL)
$dsn = “mysql://root:password@localhost/svnmanager”;
Type “mkdir /data/repos”
IMPORTANT of passwdfile/accessfile:
- 5. VersionControl_SVN / PEAR
- VersionControl_SVN-0.3 (http://pear.php.net/package/VersionControl_SVN)
- Untar the folder –> SVNManager folder.
- Rename the folder name to VersionControl.
- PEAR-1.3.6 (http://pear.php.net/package/PEAR)
- Untar and just copy the PEAR folder –> SVNManager folder.
- Running SVNManager:
- start your Apache
- Open a new browser tab with URL Address http://localhost/svnmanager and login with temporary administrator account.
Congratulation! You have successful install SVN Manager

Hi Waseem Bokhari,
To make this working you need to install php-pear packages( php-pear , php-versioncontrol-svn)after installing restart Apache web server.
for example if you are using ubuntu use the below command.
apt-get install php-versioncontrol-svn
Depends on your distribution you can search for this packages.
Hi All,
* I have configured Apache2.2.17 + subversion 1.6.15 + PHP5.3.6 + the pear
package which comes with the PHP distribution.. Both Apache and PHP are
working fine , when i run phpinfo.php file through localhost it is getting executed.
But when trying to install VersionControl_SVN through this command:
pear install –alldeps VersionControl_SVN-alpha, it is giving me this error:
” No releases available for package “pear.php.net/VersionControl_SVN”
Cannot initialize ‘channel://pear.php.net/VersionControl_SVN-alpha’, invalid or
missing package file Package channel://pear.php.net/VersionControl_SVN-alpha”
is not valid install failed ”
* i have tried to install this manually :
pear install VersionControl_SVN-0.3.4.gz (this package i have downloaded) . but
no luck with this command also.. where i am going wrong?? i am unable to understand..
* i followed this link to configure the same :
http://www.derangedcoder.net/programming/subversion/installSVNWindowsServer.html#toc
Please someone help in this..
i wanted to configure SVNManager further please help me in this.
Regards,
Shweta
