problem setting up svn w/ apache
Apologies if this has been answered somewhere else - I couldn't find
anything either in the book or in the list archives.
Here's my problem:
I have set up subversion. Everything works just fine in file://, svn://
and svn+ssh:// modes. Now I am trying to set up Apache, with less
success.
When I try to browse my repository with a web browser, I get:
Could not open the requested SVN filesystem
When I try to check out the repository on the Unix command line over
http://, I get:
svn: PROPFIND request failed on '/repository'
svn:
Could not open the requested SVN filesystem
Here's my configuration:
* I'm running subversion 1.0.6 and apache2.0.48 on Woody
* I have mod_dav_svn.so in /usr/lib/apache2/modules/
* In /etc/apache2/apache2.conf, it says
Include /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/*.load
Include /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/*.conf
* In mods-enabled, I have cgi-load, dav.load, dav_fs.conf,
dav_fs.load, dav_svn.conf, dav_svn.load
* In dav_svn.load, it says:
LoadModule dav_svn_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_dav_svn.so
LoadModule authz_svn_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_authz_svn.so
* In dav_svn.conf it says
<Location /repository>
DAV svn
SVNPath /var/subversion/booktest
... (everything else commented out)
</Location>
When I comment out DAV svn and SVNPath and restart apache, my browser
gives me:
Apache/2.0.48 (Debian GNU/Linux) DAV/2 SVN/1.0.0 Server at
myname.myhost.org Port 80
My repository belongs to my standard cvs user and I am running apache
as root, so file permissions shouldn't be an issue (?).
I'm almost sure I've overlooked something trivial, but what can it be?
Thanks for any help
Jan

You're running as root? You don't have any User or Group directive in
httpd.conf?

Ben,
yes, the apache log is about as obvious as it gets ... I should have
thought of that.

Still I'm puzzled: I'm running apache as root and I have also made the
repository wholly owned by root. Ok, I'll look into this in more depth
myself.
Thanks for your help,

I mean, actually show us a transcript of you typing the specific svn
checkout command, and the actual response from the client.

And there's your real error. Apache doesn't have complete read-write
access to the repository. Try making the repository wholly owned by
whatever user apache runs as. And read this FAQ:

Ben,
what do you mean by the transcript of the checkout?
This is from apache's error log:
[Sat Jul 24 11:05:50 2004] [error] [client 213.191.79.197] (20014)Error
string not specified yet: Berkeley DB error while o
pening environment for filesystem /var/subversion/booktest/db:

fetch resource information. [500, #0]

Best,

Show us the full multi-line error from apache's errorlog. And show us a
transcript of the checkout.
