Hi there,

I am currently moving from Windows SVN to CentOS 7

I have a folder which contains the all the users designated to each repo.

I have imported it into CentOS.

My question is, where do i put this file? I checked “svn-auth-accounts” and I just have the one user which i created, and the password is hashed.

Where is the file that contains the groups?

In reply to Praveen S. Kumar. Hi Parveen, We have not tested these steps on ClearOS 7.3, For the basic troubleshooting make sure required permissions are set on the Project, SELinux rules should be properly set in case it is enabled and check the Apache logs for errors

Excellent writeup. We were using subversion in ClearOS 6.8. Recently we upgraded to ClearOS 7.3. Ran into an issue and while looking it up came across your article. We are able to follow the steps and checkout and commit changes. However not able to connect from TortoiseSVN client on windows. When we try to connect to repo, it prompts for the password, and after that its waits for a while before finally giving an error “Error running context. The server unexpectedly closed the connection”. Any thoughts as to what might be going on?
