Re: Problems in first import to svn repository.

[Eli Hadad <el...@gmail.com>]

Hi Ryan,

Thanks for your reply.
The first problem has been solved with your suggestion, yet I still get the
same error on the second issue.

Just for the protocol I am using subversion 1.4.6

After creating the repository  /Store/SVN-REPOs/myProject and changing the
permission to apache.
and configuring httpd with the following:


LoadModule dav_svn_module     modules/mod_dav_svn.so
LoadModule authz_svn_module   modules/mod_authz_svn.so

<Location /svn>
   DAV svn
   SVNParentPath /Store/SVN-REPOs
   SVNListParentPath on
</Location>

I was able to browse it with http://home-linux/svn/myProject

Now trying to create the directory before importing into it using:

svn mkdir  http://home-linux/svn/myProject -m "Creating root directory of my
project"

I got the following:
svn: OPTIONS request failed on '/svn'
svn: OPTIONS of '/svn': 301 Moved Permanently (http://home-linux)

looked for that error, and saw some posts related to cases where the
repository is under the http document root, which is the the case here.
I thought maybe the directory already exist after creating the repository
(Store/SVN-REPOs/myProject)  and tried to create trunk directory under it
Got the following error:
svn: applying log message to
/svn/myProject/!svn/wbl/bfd96850-281c-4c8a-af92-866d6b36db11/0: 501 Method
Not Implemented (http://home-linux)

I am probably missing something here.

Thanks,
Eli
