This howto helps to install SVN (subversion ) on a cpanel server
Since Cpanel compiles httpd from source ; it is best we compile svn also from source and install the mod_dav_svn apache2 module along with it. Please note that you must have apache2.0 inoder for this to work
Step1 - mod_dav_svn requires mod_dav to be present.So ensure that you have selected dav in your easyapache 3 configuration
This can be confirmed by
===============================
/usr/local/apache/bin/httpd -l|grep dav
mod_dav.c
mod_dav_fs.c
mod_dav_lock.c
===============================
Next we have to download subversion source. I have used the latest source at the time of writing; so please use what is latest now
cd /usr/local/src
wget http://subversion.tigris.org/downloads/
tar -xvjf subversion-1.6.1.tar.bz2
wget http://www.sqlite.org/sqlite-amalgamation-3.6.11.tar.gz
tar -xvzf sqlite-amalgamation-3.6.11.tar.gz
mkdir /usr/local/src/subversion-1.6.1/sqlite-amalgamation
cp sqlite-3.6.11/sqlite3.c /usr/local/src/subversion-1.6.1/sqlite-amalgamation/sqlite3.c
cd /usr/local/src/subversion-1.6.1
./configure --with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs --with-apr=/usr/local/apache/bin/apr-1-config --with-apr-util=/home/cpeasyapache/src/httpd-2.2.11/srclib/apr-util
make
make install
Please note that you must substitute the correct directories in configure line above suitable to your system. The system i had was using httpd-2.2.11
The make install step will add the LoadModule line in httpd.conf.For clarity purpose of cpanels ea3 system.we remove those lines from httpd.conf and add it in
WHM - Apache Setup - Include Editor - Pre-Main Include
and save the configuration
Thats it !.The next step would be to configure apache as per your requirement and according to the documentation of including custom edits in cpanels ea3 system:
