Thanks for the great article. Is there a way to set user level permissions to repository over the http protocol?

I think this tutorial lacks at least minimal info about svn security (directory permissions, file permissions)

Finally a clear setup tutorial. I am not a svn guru or linux guru by any means but I know enough to get by.  The server that was set up years ago by someone else died and I had to get everything re-installed.  I'm learning a lot.  This example was complex enough not to use /svn for all directories and the location so I knew what I needed to change to match my repository directories and still be able to access the svn program.  Thank you very much.

Hello, Thank so much for the information.

But, the configuration of svn+ssh:// not found for me, because I need make "svn co" by user.

When I launch the command, svn ignore --username property, and follow asked me for ROOT password. why?

Thanks, and sorry for my english.

All works thanks to you. Could you tell me how to change default port for https:// (443) to another port? Greetings.

"and you should see that snvserve is listening on port 3690 (:svn):"

In your example it shows 2950. Why?

I'm asking this because I got another port too.

Hi, I have an issue with svn setup. After setting it up, it works correly but all other web directories in Apache became inaccessible, all requests are redirected to the SVN. I removed the svn config from http.d directory my web sites started working and responding again. How this can be avoided and make SVN works along with other web sites on Apache? Is it possible to change the port from 80 to something else if yes, how? Thanks in advance
