前subversion服务器可以用两种方式架设，

一种是基于svnserve，svnserve作为服务端；

一种是基于Apache，用apache作为服务端。

下面说说这两种方式所用的配置文件。

基于svnserve 配置文件位于版本库的conf下，有三个可以使用。

1、svnserve.conf

### This file controls the configuration of the svnserve daemon, if you
### use it to allow access to this repository.  (If you only allow
### access through http: and/or file: URLs, then this file is
### irrelevant.)
### Visit [url]http://subversion.tigris.org/[/url] for more information.
[general]
### These options control access to the repository for unauthenticated
### and authenticated users.  Valid values are "write", "read",
### and "none".  The sample settings below are the defaults.
anon-access = none
auth-access = write
### The password-db option controls the location of the password
### database file.  Unless you specify a path starting with a /,
### the file's location is relative to the conf directory.
### Uncomment the line below to use the default password file.
password-db = passwd
### The authz-db option controls the location of the authorization
### rules for path-based access control.  Unless you specify a path
### starting with a /, the file's location is relative to the conf
### directory.  If you don't specify an authz-db, no path-based access
### control is done.
### Uncomment the line below to use the default authorization file.
authz-db = authz
### This option specifies the authentication realm of the repository.
### If two repositories have the same authentication realm, they should
### have the same password database, and vice versa.  The default realm
### is repository's uuid.
# realm = My First Repository

2、passwd (svnserve.conf中指明的password-db文件)

不同于基于apache的，此文件中的密码为明文

### This file is an example password file for svnserve.
### Its format is similar to that of svnserve.conf. As shown in the
### example below it contains one section labelled [users].
### The name and password for each user follow, one account per line.
[users]
# harry = harryssecret
# sally = sallyssecret

3、authz (svnserve.conf中指明的authz-db文件)

此文件的写法有单库多库的区别，详情见http://bbs.iusesvn.com/thread-157-1-1.html

### This file is an example authorization file for svnserve.
### Its format is identical to that of mod_authz_svn authorization
### files.
### As shown below each section defines authorizations for the path and
### (optional) repository specified by the section name.
### The authorizations follow. An authorization line can refer to a
### single user, to a group of users defined in a special [groups]
### section, or to anyone using the '*' wildcard.  Each definition can
### grant read ('r') access, read-write ('rw') access, or no access
### ().
[groups]
# harry_and_sally = harry,sally
# [/foo/bar]
# harry = rw
# * =
# [repository:/baz/fuz]
# @harry_and_sally = rw
# * = r 

基于Apache

配置文件可以在httpd.conf中指定，如

<Location /svn>
DAV svn
#SVNListParentPath on
SVNParentPath e:\svnreps
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Subversion"
AuthUserFile e:\svnreps\passwd
AuthzSVNAccessFile e:\svnreps\authz
Require valid-user
</Location>

1、passwd (Location段中AuthUserFile指定)

此文件由Apache的bin目录下htpasswd程序创建，密码为密文

try1:$apr1$j04.....$k4XHO0EUJCuG2A5IveRYF1
try2:$apr1$jR0.....$57ZHP2MRRAXQu4Dw.Rv.a1

2、authz (Location段中AuthzSVNAccessFile指定)

此文件格式跟基于svnserve方式的相同，同样也有单库多库区别，[总结]

从上面可以看出两种配置的区别，基于svnserve的配置文件一般均在conf目录下，目前还不能用绝对路径指定为其它目录，除非用相对路径；

而基于 Apache的，配置文件由httpd.conf的Location段中指定，可以在任意位置。另外，两种用户密码文件的格式是不一样的，一种明文，一种密文。
