Recently I was asked to setup a SVN repository for some collaborators of our lab due to their limitations of network access. The tasks seems to be easy, but without any experience on setting up http server and SVN repos, it could be a time sink. So here is some of my thoughts.
My really old lab machine is running a CentOS 4 system. So I followed the instructions of this post http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Subversion
But there is a major issue in this posts on httpd config that causes my SVN cannot work. The /etc/httpd/conf.d/subversion.conf file's SVNParentPath should be replaced with SVNPath. If not, when you trying to access the repo through http, you will always get "could not open the requested SVN filesystem".
Besides that, everything seems to be working fine.
