Lets now tie Subversion to Apache, allowing you to view your repository via the web browser and give you the ability have finer access control. You can have seperate users each of which can have different rights. If you haven't downloaded the Zip File then do so now, this Zip Contains all the files required to Install Apache, SVN & Trac. there is a Video to View [QuickTime | You Tube] You can increase the size of each of the images by clicking on them, so lets get started:
| Open the expanded Folder from the downloaded zip file. |  |
| Open the CopyText.txt file |  |
| Highlight all of the file execpt for the last line. |  |
| Go to the Edit Menu and select copy. |  |
| Go to the conf folder of the apache install in this example: C:\Apps\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\conf |  |
| Open the httpd.conf in Notepad |  |
| Scroll down the file till you come to the end of the load modules. |  |
| Go to the edit menu and select paste. |  |
| Place a carriage return before and after to tidy the file up, Go to the File Menu and select save and close the file. |  |
| Goto the bin folder contain above the conf folder, and copy the folder location. |  |
| Open a command prompt and type CD |  |
