This assumes you have already installed the subversion package by following the directions outlined here.

Install Apache2 and mod_dav_svn

In my case, I already had something running on port 80 (nginx handling requests to various app servers), so apache2 was set to “NO_START to 1 in /etc/default/apache2″. I’ll get back to that later when we configure /etc/apache2/ports.conf so that our apache2 instance is just another app server behind nginx.

Background

In my case I set up my project’s repository when I was very new to Subversion. Rather than try to figure out the why’s and how’s of using the conventional directory structure of repository-for-project/trunk and repository-for-project/branches I decided to go bare bones. I ended up with my project’s trunk code essentially living in repository-for-project/.

Now that I’m approaching the first release of the project’s code, I have a better understanding of Subversion’s implementation of branching, and I need to move repository to some place publically accessible, I’ve decided to switch to the trunk/branches/tags convention that so many other project’s use.
