SVN repository on Apple Xserve

Introductions:

Whew! How about that ? Well, it seems that it is going to build the application from scratch .Yes, my friend , this is a sort of little story how will you compile libraries and patched in a UNIX like OSX,oh a pain and tasky. I 've done this almost a year ago, but that's only for Linux/Unix like OS (say Fedora or CentOS); but now a little porting of compiling package in UNIX/OSX

Objectives:
To install Repository in MAC Xserve (period!);with yum ,sudo apt-get and fink(why??)

Requirements:
Note:
All the packages were stored at an "installer" named directory

Browse and test : http://localhost , then you should see the immortal..It Works!

[Subversion]
root@locahost# tar-zxvf subversion-1.6.16.tar.gz
root@localhost# cd subversion-1.6.16
root@localhost@ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/svn --with-apxs=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs --with-apr=/usr/local/apr/bin/apr-1-config --with-apr-util=/usr/local/apr-util/bin/apu-1-config --disable-neon-version-check --with-neon=/usr/local/neon --with-sqlite=/usr/local/sqlite --with-zlib=/usr/local/zlib

[I]Correct path of SVN repository
root@locahost # chown -R daemon:daemon /usr/local/svn
root@localhost# svnadmin create datacenter

[II] Create a username and password stored in a txt file
root@localhost# mkdir /usr/local/password
root@locahost# cd /usr/local/password
root@localhost# httpswd -cm /usr/local/password/secret admin
root@localhost# enter a new password: "password"

[III]Config Apache now to access SVN services!
root@locahost# vim /usr/local/apache2/conf/http.conf
1) Add the following lines
1.a) to load dav modules
LoadModule dav_svn_module modules/mod_dav_svn.so
LoadModule authz_svn_module modules/mod_authz_svn.so
LoadModule php5_module modules/libphp5.so
DeflateFilterNote Input instream
DeflateFilterNote Output outstream
DeflateFilterNote Ratio ratio

1.b) to add location of SVN path with authentications
#
DAV svn
SVNPath /usr/local/svn/datacenter
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Subversion Repository"
AuthUserFile /usr/local/password/secret
Require valid-user
SetOutputFilter DEFLATE
SetInputFilter DEFLATE
#
root@locahost# cd /usr/local/apache2/bin/
root@locahost# ./apachectl restart

Browse and check : http://localhost/svn/datacenter then enter a user-name and password.

[Php]
root@localhost# curl -L -O http://ar.php.net/distributions/php-5.3.5.tar.gz
root@localhost# tar -zxvf php-5.3.5.tar.gz
root@localhost# cd php-5.3.5
root@localhost# ./configure --with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql --with-mysqli --prefix=/usr/local/php --with-config-file-path=/usr/local/php --enable-force-cgi-redirect --disable-cgi --with-zlib --with-gdbm=/usr/local/gdbm
root@localhost# make
root@localhost make test
root@localhost# make install

Remarks:
Hints:
Problem : Forbidden Error
Solution:
1.0) Do it always in README
2.0) If ever forbidden error (404,405,400,etc) occurs
2.a) take note the ownership of the /usr/local/svn (directory)
root@localhost# chown -R daemon:daemon /usr/local/svn
root@localhost# ls -alt
Then you should see ownership of the file


Solution:
2.b) check the apahce ownership!
Username daemon
Usergoup daemon

Solution:
2.c) Try to edit the
SVNPath not SVNParentPAth

2.d) and also don't forget to memorize your password
mkdir /usr/local/password
vim secret , then save
htppasswd -cm /usr/local/password/secret

In installing Subversion
Problem: "/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lexpat "
Solution: download and install expat

Problem: configure: error: Cannot find libmysqlclient under /usr.
Note that the MySQL client library is not bundled anymore!
Note:
This happen because , we directly Yum installed mysql yet PHP now needs the complete path of MySQL- grrrr!

1) Be sure to download the mysql libraries and add ons:
mysql devel,mysql-php,libmysql

2) Use again "whereis"
root@localhost# cd /usr/local/php-5.version.xx
root@localhost# whereis mysql

Then use --with-mysql=/usr/bin/mysql libdir=lib64
root@locahost# ./configure --with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs --with-mysql=/usr/bin/mysql --with-libdir=lib64 --with-mysqli=/usr/bin/mysql_config --prefix=/usr/local/php --with-config-file-path=/usr/local/php --disable-cgi --with-zlib --with-gdbm
..and Yahoo it saves the day...

Conclusions:
Somehow it is always possible!
