SLES 10 SVN using Apache
Hello all,
I am hoping that someone might have some insight to my problem. Currently I
am trying to get subversion to run on SLES 10 under apache 2.2. I am using
the package that is available for SLES and therefore the version of
subversion is 1.3.1.
I have created about 20 repositories in one location on my machine. I then
configured apache to use the SVNParentPath so that I can have access to all
of the repositories. Access to the repositories works fine in apache.
Currently they are all empty but going to them will give Revision 0: / and
going to the parent path will give a list of the repositories, since that is
how I have configured it. The problem is I can not connect to the
repositories using the svn client or the TortoiseSVN. I believe that the
problem is that both these clients seem to ignore the trailing slash and get
a 302 code returned and do not handle the 302 code correctly. I can get this
to work correctly using SmartSVN.
I believe that this might have been corrected in a later release of SVN but
my issue is that this is the package that is available for SLES 10 at this
time.
Does anyone know if any work around for this?
Thanks for any help you can provide.
Brent

Hello Ryan,
Sorry it took me so long to get back to you, I was away over the weekend.
I put them in the document root because the tutorial I was reading online
did it like that I believe, I can't remember where this tutorial was though.
Also the reason for the rewrite rules was another attempt at correcting the
/ problem, I have commented them out for now. I tried what you suggested and
I still can not seem to get it to work correctly. I moved the repo out of
the document root and rewrote the config to accomidate this yet it still
will not work using the svn client and it gives a 301 error. I tried
uncommenting the RedirectMatch ^(/repo)$ $1/ that was suggested by Olivier
and in that case it gives a 302 error instead.
Do you have any suggestions in order for me to get this to work? I would
greatly appriciate it. I will paste my config as it is now below so that you
can have a look.

FYI: Subversion will not follow any redirects, such as 302s or 301s.

What are these rewrite directives? I'd take them out until everything
else is working, then put them back in if they do something useful
for you.

I think Subversion will not follow such redirects.

A-ha! Your repositories (/devel/repo/*) are inside your DocumentRoot
(/devel). Don't do that. Put your repositories anywhere else on your
server's disk. They do not belong in the document root. See the FAQ:
http://subversion.tigris.org/faq.html#http-301-error
There are some inaccuracies in the FAQ and it's worded a bit
confusingly but the point remains.
Did your OS distribution suggest this layout to you -- with the
repositories inside the DocumentRoot?

Hi Olivier,
I tried doing what you suggested but it did not help, I still get a 302. I
will post my config for this vhost so that you can see it. The thing is even
if this would have worked, it would only have worked for the parent path and
nothing under. So if I typed in the path for an actual repository I would
still have the trailing slash problem. I am not sure if I mentioned that it
does not work if I type in the full repository path as well. The rewrite
rule that is in the directory section is something that I saw on another
site as a suggestion, it does not seem to help.

I think I have encountered this before. Does your Apache configuration file include something like this after the close of the "<Location /svn/>" section? (assuming that "svn" is the virtual directory you want to serve up Subversion from)
# This will redirect "/svn" to "/svn/"
# http://www.nabble.com/SVNListParentPath-t839339.html
RedirectMatch ^(/svn)$ $1/
