Hi! I’m clsung

lighttpd + mod_proxy + apache2 + mod_dav_svn

My aim is using svn on my project with trac support. We have established trac via lighttpd several weeks ago. However we can not directly access svn via HTTP protocol.

At first, we try to map /repos to svnn’s directory by mod_alias:

alais.url = (
“/repos/” => “/var/svn”
)

It works (I mean alias part) and fails (svn do not recognize that).

So let’s search, there is an article on lighttpd official site describing how to use lighttpd with subversion. It seems like the only choice we have. But I don’t like to make another authentication for apache. So I’ve come up with a solution. Here is the final solution:

in lighttpd.conf:

$HTTP["host"] =~ “MYHOSTNAME” {
$HTTP["url"] =~ “^/repos/” {
auth.require = ( “/repos” =>
(
“method” => “basic”,
“realm” => “subversion repository”,
“require” => “valid-user”
)
)
proxy.server = (
“/repos” => ( ( “host” => “127.0.0.1″, “port” => 8080 ) )
)
}
}

in apache2’s httpd.conf:

ServerName MYHOSTNAME
DocumentRoot /usr/local/www/data

DAV svn
SVNParentPath /var/svn
SVNAutoversioning on
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
