SVN with Lighttpd web server?

  • 772

I need to install svn on Ubuntu 10.04 and Ubuntu 9.04. On both servers I use lighttpd.

I found some tutorials on internet explaining which packages to install with Apache, but i actually need lighttpd.

thanks

10.04 server 9.04 svn lighttpd

    According to a posting in lighty forum:

    There is no mod_subversion for lighttpd and there won't be one in the near future. lighttpd is single-threaded (mostly) and mod_subversion would block the whole server process (and so ALL connections). Either proxy to apache or use svnserve which has almost all features which mod_subversion has (the only problem I can think of is that Apache supports several authentication modules (kerberos etc.) which can be used in combination with mod_subversion, but svnserve doesn't support that iirc).

    Your best choice is to use apache2 in combination with lighty: A great tutorial.
