newby: svn + apache = no author
Hi!
I've just started to set up an Subversion environment and tried some stuff,
but when I look at the log it doesn't show an author.
On the client I use TortoiseSVN 1.1.5 on a WinXP machine.
The server is Subversion 1.1.4 on FC3.
Access via Apache 2 web server:
<Location /svn>
DAV svn
SVNPath /home/svn
SSLRequireSSL
AuthType Basic
AuthName "TRC Versionsmanagement"
AuthUserFile /etc/httpd/svn-auth-file
Require valid-user
</Location>
In the Subversion book I found a similar FAQ, which recommends to enforce
authentication.
But here I'm doing authentication ...?
Thanks for your help!

Maybe you didn't restart Apache after some configuration change
(restarted the server this morning? :-)
That's what I usually do... well, once in a while *g*

Yes, Subversion is great :-)
Apache gave me a hard time... not the "basics", but setting up SSL with
client certificates and pulling the username from the certificate was
quite a problem... (and there were bugs in both mod_ssl and Subversion).
And I'm still not sure if my WebSVN setup is "waterproof" *sigh* - but
that's not the Subversion team, of course. Have I mentioned that
Subversion is great?! :-))

Thanks for the quick answer, Holger!
I did some more tries today, and now there are the authors I was waiting
for. No idea, why it didn't work out yesterday :-(
In the end I think setting up Subversion was much easier than I expected :-)

Are you?
Or are you just trying to?
To limit the number of possible problems, check if you get a password
prompt in a browser!
I.e. just call one of the svn-URLs in Mozilla / IE / whatever.
I'm almost sure this is an Apache configuration problem and not at all
related to Subversion.
The Apache configuration looks ok, though. Should the location be
"/svn/" instead of "/svn"? I'm not sure...
Take a look at the Apache log files - any error messages? I personally
think Apache ist not very "user friendly" in that respect, it usually
takes me some trial and error to get everything working.
Go step by step, maybe try it without SSL first...
As soon as you get the password prompt in the browser, you should also
see the username in the Apache access logs.
At that point, I'm (almost *g*) sure Subversion will be fine :-)
Good luck!
