None of the above really worked for me because the yum links were broken and I'm a doofus for the most part. It turns out that this can be done without yum and without much effort. I have PLESK 8.3 and CentOS 5 on my particular machine, which was provisioned in June of 2008, as a point of reference. This guide makes two assumptions: 1.) That the Developer Tools are installed (included as Step 0, for your reference) on your mediaTemple (dv) 3.5 (and possibly later) server and that those tools include Subversion (issue "svn help" on the command line to see which version of Subversion is installed, if any). 2.) That you set-up the subdomain on which you intend to host Subversion as a top-level domain (this is possible in PLESK, and is, for many, the preferred method). It's fine if not; just be aware of file paths and nuances related to how your subdomain (or top-level domain) is configured. STEP 0: INSTALL DEVELOPER TOOLS THROUGH MEDIATEMPLE CONTROL PANEL. Log into your mediaTemple account and click on your (dv) 3.5 domain. Click on "Install Developer Tools" if they haven't already been installed. This takes a moment and should complete without issue. STEP 1 (OPTIONAL): INSTALL yum ===== DOWNLOAD ===== # wget http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5/os/i386/CentOS/yum-metadata-parser-1.1.2-2.el5.i386.rpm # wget http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5/os/i386/CentOS/yum-3.2.8-9.el5.centos.1.noarch.rpm # wget http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5/os/i386/CentOS/python-iniparse-0.2.3-4.el5.noarch.rpm ===== INSTALL ===== # rpm -Uvh python-iniparse-0.2.3-4.el5.noarch.rpm # rpm -Uvh yum-metadata-parser-1.1.2-2.el5.i386.rpm # rpm -Uvh yum-3.2.8-9.el5.centos.1.noarch.rpm Confirm that yum is installed: # yum STEP 2: INSTALL mod_dav_svn ===== DOWNLOAD ===== # wget http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5/os/i386/CentOS/mod_dav_svn-1.4.2-2.el5.i386.rpm ===== INSTALL ===== # rpm -Uvh mod_dav_svn-1.4.2-2.el5.i386.rpm STEP 3: Configure mod_dav_svn Have a look at the new subversion.conf file that was created during the mod_dav_svn installation. Apache will, from here forward, automatically include this file at start-up. # cd /etc/httpd/conf.d/ # vim subversion.conf No changes are necessary, as we're going to put the configuration directives elsewhere and leave the samples commented-out here. STEP 4: Create an SVN repository # svnadmin create /var/www/vhosts/subdomain.yoursite.com/svnrepo You should confirm that the svnrepo directory was created and that there are several files inside it. You should also change the permissions of the directory so that the "apache" user has read/write acccess: # chown -R root:apache svnrepo # chmod -R ug=rwx svnrepo # chmod -R o= svnrepo STEP 5: MODIFY vhost.conf # vim /var/www/vhosts/subdomain.yoursite.com/conf/vhost.conf Add the following to the bottom of the file (be SURE not to add a trailing / after /svn in the opening tag or you will get 405 errors like my dumb ass!): DAV svn SVNPath /var/www/vhosts/subdomain.yoursite.com/svnrepo #SVNIndexXSLT "/svnindex.xsl" STEP 6: RESTART APACHE. Before you restart Apache, you may want to do something like: # /usr/local/psa/admin/bin/websrvmng -a which forces Plesk to update all Apache-related configuration files. Don't forget to restart apache! DONE! Try accessing the repository at http://subdomain.yoursite.com/svn/ I haven't proof-read this tutorial or even tried it (I wrote it as I was going along), so your feedback will probably help others. Share it! I was wondering how to set-up Subversion on my mediaTemple (dv) 3.5 dedicated-virtual server. None of the above really worked for me because the yum links were broken and I’m a doofus for the most part. It turns out that this can be done without yum and without much effort. I have PLESK 8.3 and CentOS 5 on my particular machine, which was provisioned in June of 2008, as a point of reference.

This guide makes two assumptions:

1.) That the Developer Tools are installed (included as Step 0, for your reference) on your mediaTemple (dv) 3.5 (and possibly later) server and that those tools include Subversion (issue “svn help” on the command line to see which version of Subversion is installed, if any).

STEP 0: INSTALL DEVELOPER TOOLS THROUGH MEDIATEMPLE CONTROL PANEL.

Log into your mediaTemple account and click on your (dv) 3.5 domain. Click on “Install Developer Tools” if they haven’t already been installed. This takes a moment and should complete without issue.

STEP 1 (OPTIONAL): INSTALL yum

===== DOWNLOAD =====

# wget http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5/os/i386/CentOS/yum-metadata-parser-1.1.2-2.el5.i386.rpm
# wget http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5/os/i386/CentOS/yum-3.2.8-9.el5.centos.1.noarch.rpm
# wget http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5/os/i386/CentOS/python-iniparse-0.2.3-4.el5.noarch.rpm

===== INSTALL =====

# rpm -Uvh python-iniparse-0.2.3-4.el5.noarch.rpm
# rpm -Uvh yum-metadata-parser-1.1.2-2.el5.i386.rpm
# rpm -Uvh yum-3.2.8-9.el5.centos.1.noarch.rpm

Confirm that yum is installed:

# yum

STEP 2: INSTALL mod_dav_svn

===== DOWNLOAD =====

# wget http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5/os/i386/CentOS/mod_dav_svn-1.4.2-2.el5.i386.rpm

===== INSTALL =====

# rpm -Uvh mod_dav_svn-1.4.2-2.el5.i386.rpm

STEP 3: Configure mod_dav_svn

Have a look at the new subversion.conf file that was created during the mod_dav_svn installation. Apache will, from here forward, automatically include this file at start-up.

# cd /etc/httpd/conf.d/
# vim subversion.conf

No changes are necessary, as we’re going to put the configuration directives elsewhere and leave the samples commented-out here.

STEP 4: Create an SVN repository

# svnadmin create /var/www/vhosts/subdomain.yoursite.com/svnrepo

You should confirm that the svnrepo directory was created and that there are several files inside it. You should also change the permissions of the directory so that the “apache” user has read/write acccess:

# chown -R root:apache svnrepo
# chmod -R ug=rwx svnrepo
# chmod -R o= svnrepo

STEP 5: MODIFY vhost.conf

# vim /var/www/vhosts/subdomain.yoursite.com/conf/vhost.conf

Add the following to the bottom of the file (be SURE not to add a trailing / after /svn in the opening tag or you will get 405 errors like my dumb ass!):

DAV svn
SVNPath /var/www/vhosts/subdomain.yoursite.com/svnrepo
#SVNIndexXSLT “/svnindex.xsl”

STEP 6: RESTART APACHE.

Before you restart Apache, you may want to do something like:

# /usr/local/psa/admin/bin/websrvmng -a

which forces Plesk to update all Apache-related configuration files. Don’t forget to restart apache!

DONE! Try accessing the repository at http://subdomain.yoursite.com/svn/
