Here i am going to describe how to enable mod_rewrite in apache2.2 -specaily for debian.

In default installion of apache2.2 on debian never enable mod_rewrite default. So you may need to enable .

First install the apache2.2 with this command :
debian user please use “su” before start this process
ubuntu user please use “sudo su” before start this process

apt-get install apache2 (it will install apache 2.2)

on current debian system you can enable mod_rewrite with simple command

a2enmod rewrite

old style, you can skip this portion

now use locate to find if the mod_rewrite.so is availble on your server

updatedb
locate mod_rewrite.so


it will found in “/usr/lib/apache2/modules”

new apache follow some folders to enable and disable mods.
so now do this:

cd /etc/apache2/mods-enabled
touch rewrite.load
gedit rewrite.load (you may use any editor to edit this file)

now paste this following line

LoadModule rewrite_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_rewrite.so

end of old style

Then edit /etc/apache2/sites-available/default or /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default (check which one available on your system)

Find the following

Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
allow from all

and change it to

Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride all
Order allow,deny
allow from all

and finally restart Apache

/etc/init.d/apache2 restart
or
service apache2 restart

OK, you done 😀

don’t forget to comment, if it works or not.

thanks.

A great post about subversion of hasin brother.

On the new version of subversion 1.4.3 u will need to do some thing more. svn-1.4.3 cann’t be install as service. U have take help from 3rd party tools.

Two of them are:

• SVNService is a free tool written by Magnus Norddahl (not found)
• SrvAny is avaliable free of charge from Microsoft

or u can use “sc” command to add subversion as service..

Here is the example:
sc create svnserve binpath= "c:svnservesvnserve.exe --service --root
c:repos" displayname= "Subversion" depend= tcpip start= auto
These command must be entered as a single line.

Here bindpath is the where the svnserve.exe is installed, –root is the root directory of
repository, displayname is the name that will display on the windows service list, start = auto is used to start this service on system startup.

Hope it will help you 🙂
