Comments on How to setup a SVN server on CentOS
This tutorial explains how to setup and use an SVN repository server on CentOS. Before I start, let me explain what actually SVN represents and what it is used for. SVN is actually an abbreviation of SubVersion which had been created by the Apache software developer. It enables you to create and maintain your own repository and gives fine-grained access rights to a dedicated user.

May I ask you if you are a time traveller?
An article about setting up SVN, written in 2016 - are you serious?
CentOS 6.4 32-bit? This article has been published ages ago and submitted as a "new" one - the reason for not putting a date on it. This is truly sad for otherwise nice website howtoforge. The world has moved on, check out GIT.
Welcome GIT fans. Some users still use and prefer SVN over GIT and this tutorial is written for these users. SVN is a stable software which works well in small teams. You are a GIT user and don't like SVN, why do you read and comment on an SVN article then? There are several articles about installing and using GIT available at howtoforge. This article has not been published before, and the date is shown in the upper right corner for those who have not noticed it: "Published Sep 08, 2016".
Hello fellow commenters,
How do you version control binary files like excel spreadsheets , without using complex third party tools.
Welcome to SVN.
hi
i tried with this steps .but user credentials are not working for checkout from the repository
I had the same problem. It is due to SELinux security context.
To make it work, I changed the security context like this:
chcon -v -R --type=httpd_sys_content_t /data/svn
cd /etc/httpd/conf.d/ls
Expected Output:
[root@SVNSVR641 conf.d]# lsmod_dnssd.conf README subversion.conf welcome.conf
Actuall Output:
[root@localhost conf.d]# ls -ltotal 16-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 2926 Apr 20 23:40 autoindex.conf-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 366 Apr 20 23:41 README-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 1252 May 10 16:59 userdir.conf-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 824 Apr 11 01:57 welcome.conf
