Installing subversion with apache on centos

Subversion exists to be universally recognized and adopted as an open-source, centralized version control system characterized by its reliability as a safe haven for valuable data; the simplicity of its model and usage; and its ability to support the needs of a wide variety of users and projects, from individuals to large-scale enterprise operations.

#yum install mod_dav_svn subversion httpd

#service httpd start

Go to subversion.conf in /etc/httpd/conf.d/. Edit as below 

cd /etc/httpd/conf.d/

This is a configuration with username and password for the client
