Suse Linux and Subversion and mod_dav_svn

I am attempting to move from Subversion 1.0.0 on Suse Linux 9.1 to Subversion 1.1.3 on Suse Linux 9.3 (intel).  Also going from apache 2.0.49 to 2.0 53.

I have made all the necessary changes but when I started Apache, I saw the following:

# /etc/init.d/apache2 start
Module "mod_dav_svn" is not installed, ignoring.
Check the APACHE_MODULES setting in /etc/sysconfig/apache2.
Starting httpd2 (prefork) Syntax error on line 5 of /etc/apache2/sysconfig.d/svn.conf:
Unknown DAV provider: svn

The command line was:
/usr/sbin/httpd2-prefork -f /etc/apache2/httpd.conf
                                                                      failed
#

Note that I am using the rpms that come with the commercial version of Suse.

So I went off looking for mod_dav_svn and I can not seem to find it anywhere. Not on my system or on the web.  There are some notes that I can use flags around apxs to build Apache and again on Subversion but we are not building but rather installing.

It appears that it should be in the rpm but it is not anywhere on my system.

Google shows that there are mod_dav_svn_* rpm files on the net but none for Suse. 

I would be willing to upgrade to Suse 10 if that resolves it (in fact I will probably need to soon anyway).

If anyone has any insight it would be appreciated.

Thanks,

-arthur

You could just run 'svn --version' and it should tell you something
like...
--------------------------------------------------------------
...
The following repository access (RA) modules are available:

* ra_dav : Module for accessing a repository via WebDAV (DeltaV)
protocol.
  - handles 'http' scheme
  - handles 'https' scheme
...
--------------------------------------------------------------
in addition to the version info. Thats how you find out if the ra module
is installed. 

> Google shows that there are mod_dav_svn_* rpm files on the net but none for Suse. 
I would suggest downloading the source code and building it. Once thats done, you could
just use the mod_dav_svn module from there.

Dont know much of Suse to comment about the availability.

Did that answer your question?

Regards,
Madan.
