"Unknown FS type 'bdb'" when accessed via apache
Hi,
I've installed Subversion + Apache 2.0.52 on a Red Hat 7.3 box and I
have run into a problem.
Here's what is installed:
Subversion 1.1.1
BerkeleyDB 4.2.52
Apache 2.0.52
neon 0.24.7
Subversion was configured with the following options:
--enable-dso
--with-apr=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apr-config
--with-apr-util=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apu-config
--with-apxs=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs
--with-berkeley-db=/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.2
--with-editor=vi
--with-zlib
--with-python=/usr/local/bin/python2.3
--with-ssl
The problem is that when I try to access the repositories via Apache,
I get an error:
"Could not open the requested SVN filesystem"
and the Apache error_log reports this:
[Sat Dec 18 16:18:02 2004] [error] [client x.x.x.x] (20014)Error string not specified yet: Unknown FS type 'bdb'
[Sat Dec 18 16:18:02 2004] [error] [client x.x.x.x] Could not fetch resource information. [500, #0]
[Sat Dec 18 16:18:02 2004] [error] [client x.x.x.x] Could not open the requested SVN filesystem [500, #160033]
[Sat Dec 18 16:18:02 2004] [error] [client x.x.x.x] Could not open the requested SVN filesystem [500, #160033]
The repositories have the correct filesystem permission, the directory
and all files/subdirectories are owned by nobody:nobody (the uid that
Apache runs as):

Through the shell and `svn` I am able to check out the repository
without incident:
# setuidgid nobody id
uid=99(nobody) gid=99(nobody) groups=99(nobody)
# setuidgid nobody svn co file:///var/svn/testing /tmp/testing
A /tmp/testing/php.ini
Checked out revision 1.
The fs format is bdb (created using `svnadmin` defaults):
# cat /var/svn/testing/db/fs-type
bdb
My suspicion is that somehow the Apache module isn't supporting the
bdb fs backend for some reason, despite the following:
# strings mod_dav_svn.so |grep db
apr_dbm_open
apr_dbm_exists
apr_dbm_fetch
apr_dbm_close
apr_dbm_freedatum
apr_dbm_delete
apr_dbm_store
dav_svn_hooks_propdb
svn_stringbuf_appendbytes
Can't open activity db
could not open dbm files.
Can't close activity db
could not close dbm files.
I've seem messages in the archives where other's have gotten the
"Unknown FS type 'bdb'" error message when using the command line
tools, but I have not found anything about this happening when using
Apache to access the repository.
I'm out of ideas on this, so if there are any suggestions I would love
to hear them. Please let me know if there is any other information is
needed.
Thanks in advance,
Cory Wright

Not really. You could try looking at the code it enables (see
libsvn_fs/fs-loader.c), and maybe add some debugging prints, or run it under
gdb.

Hi Max, thanks for your suggestions.
The /usr/local/BerkeleyDB4.2/lib path was already listed in ld.so.conf,
however you were right about --enable-dso. I removed the option and
everything appears to be working now. Do we know why that option would
be causing a problem?
Thanks again for your help,
Cory Wright

It sounds like libsvn_fs is failing to load libsvn_fs_base.
Is /usr/local/BerkeleyDB4.2/lib in ld.so.conf?
Has ldconfig been run?
You might want to try without --enable-dso - it's a less used option, and
there's really not much benefit to it unless you are trying to make a
subversion package with the BDB dependency optional.
