AWS instance setup
- Signup into aws.amazon.com with credit card information and other required validation.
- Select basic free package and default instance on Redhat or some other platform as yo want. I have selected redhat linux.
- Once you are done with the account creation then select EC2 amazon services
- Create key pairs under Network Security available in the left panel. It will download a .pem file. Load this file to create private key (.ppk) file using PuTTYgen (If not available then download from internet) as shown below. Use this .ppk file to login to your instance once it is running.
- Create Security group under Network Security available in the left panel to allow inbound connection (e.g. SSH connection using putty) to the server.
- Create instance under Instances in the left panel. (Just follow the default selection). Once the instance is created then a server will get started automatically
- Connect to the server using PuTTY via the public IP as highlighted in the above snapshot. Import the .ppk private file (which is created few steps back) as shown in the below 2 steps in the snapshot
- It will ask for user id. Use ec2-user as the user id. No password is required to connect.
- Update the pre-installed software
sudo yum update -y
Install required software
- Install apache and PHP support
sudo yum groupinstall -y "Web Server" "PHP Support" - Start the apache services
sudo service httpd start - Now test if the web server is accessible from outside by hitting the public domain URL. (e.g. ec2-52-88-8-150.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com). Below page shows that the webserver is up and running.
- Install the subversion
sudo yum install mod_dav_svn subversion - Edit the Apache configuration file for subversion
sudo vi /etc/httpd/conf.d/subversion.conf - Add virtual host and edit the subversion access information ``` xml LoadModule dav_svn_module modules/mod_dav_svn.so LoadModule authz_svn_module modules/mod_authz_svn.so
<Location /repos> DAV svn SVNParentPath /var/www/svn # Limit write permission to list of valid users. AuthType Basic AuthName “Authorization Realm” AuthUserFile /var/www/svn-auth/passwd AuthzSVNAccessFile /var/www/svn-auth/access Require valid-user </Location>
* Create the directory which will contain the subversion repository
sudo mkdir /var/www/svn
* Create the directory which will contain the permissions files
sudo mkdir /var/www/svn-auth
* Create the permission file
sudo vi /var/www/svn-auth/access
and fill this with your users. Example is given below
[/] ashish=rw
* Create and add to the password file
sudo htpasswd -cb /var/www/svn-auth/passwd ashish xxxxPassword
* Create a repository (cooperative is the name of your repository eg rebuild):
cd /var/www/svn sudo svnadmin create cooperative ```
