Recovering a BDB Database and converting to FSFS

Some older SVN setups on compsoc1 were set to use bdb, but these tend to die horribly. Fix with:

1. Recover

as root:

svnadmin recover /var/svn/projectid/

2. Convert to FSFS

cd /var/svn/
svnadmin create --fs-type=fsfs fsfs-repo
svnadmin dump projectid | svnadmin load fsfs-repo
mv projectid projectid-old
mv fsfs-repo projectid

3. Set permissions

chown -R svn:projectid projectid/
chmod -R 770 projectid/
find . -type d -exec chmod g+s {} \;

Create Subversion repositories

1. Create the user and group:

export PROJ=projectid
groupadd $PROJ
useradd -g $PROJ -d /var/svn/$PROJ/ $PROJ

2. Make the subversion repository

mkdir /var/svn/$PROJ/
svnadmin create --fs-type fsfs /var/svn/$PROJ/
chown -R svn:$PROJ /var/svn/$PROJ/
chmod -R 770 /var/svn/$PROJ/

3. Enable the Web Interface

Edit /etc/apache2-svn/sites-enabled/000-default
Add the following block below the similar blocks in both Virtual Hosts:

        <Location /svn/projectid>
                AuthType Basic
                AuthName "Kent Computing Account"
                AuthLDAPURL ldap://ldap.kent.ac.uk/o=kent.ac.uk,o=uni
                Require user userid userid userid
        </Location>

Replacing userid with the name of the users who should have access.

4. Stop and Start Apache SVN

apache2 -f /etc/apache2-svn/apache2.conf -k stop
apache2 -f /etc/apache2-svn/apache2.conf -k start

Create Trac Instances

1. Make the folder

mkdir /var/trac/$PROJ/

2. Use the Trac Wizard

trac-admin /var/trac/$PROJ/ initenv

3. Copy WebAdmin Plugin

cp /var/trac/jrapp/plugins/TracWebAdmin-0.1.1dev_r2765-py2.3.egg /var/trac/$PROJ/plugins

4. Set up Admins

trac-admin /var/trac/$PROJ/
permission add user TRAC_ADMIN
permission add user TRAC_ADMIN
[...]

5. Change Permissions

chown -R $PROJ:$PROJ /var/trac/$PROJ/
chmod -R 770 /var/trac/$PROJ/

6. Set up the CGI

5. Configure Apache 2

6. Change the DNS
