If all you get is “Revision 0: /” then the thing, including Apache/WEBDAV SVN part, is working.

However, there is nothing in your repository yet!

A VERY IMPORTANT STEP: Immediately after creating a repository, import data into the repo.

Follow the steps in the RedBean book, mentioned in other comments.

Here’s another link that has some more information on setting up Trac for project management on Ubuntu and some other stuff.

Good post Jason!

I actually am running subversion at work on a VMWare Ubuntu server. At home I have a stand alone box that is running it with a self-signed SSL certificate because I can access it over the web

Hopefully you were prompted for security (username/password). If not, please check your security setup again.

Usually when you see that it means your subversion install was complete. Now start using the subversion command line operations to interact with your repsitory.

Look here for more operations information:

Just to clarify – the line
sudo htpasswd2 -cm /etc/apache2/dav_svn.passwd

should be
sudo htpasswd -cm /etc/apache2/dav_svn.passwd

in newer versions of apache2-utils

Thanks for the input everyone. I don’t claim to be an expert. All input is welcome.

I noticed one more thing…
If you want your repository to be authenticated remember to uncomment following lines from /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/dav_svn.conf too

Require valid-user
