Deny External Access to Subversion Directories on Web Servers
By Shay Anderson on February 2014
Denying access to Subversion directories on Web servers is a good idea.
Apache
Here is how to accomplish this in Apache (CentOS 6 example): # nano /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.confThen add these lines in the file and save:
Deny From All
Nginx
Here is how to deny access in Nginx (CentOS 6 example): # nano /etc/nginx/conf.d/default.confAdd these lines in the server block and save file: # deny access to SVN dirs
location ~ /.svn/ {
deny all;
}
Restart nginx: # service nginx restart
Finally, test all access to Subversion directories for assurance.
