Subversion problem

["Oxley, David" <Da...@workplace-systems.plc.uk>]

All,

I have suddenly started getting a problem with subversion. The server has
been up and running fine with 0.20.1 since it was released. Then suddenly
over the weekend running 'svn st -u -q' has started giving us:
svn: RA layer request failed
svn: REPORT request failed on '/repos-xml'
svn: REPORT of '/repos-xml': 301 Moved Permanently

Has anyone got any ideas? What is needed to track down the cause?

Cheers.
Dave.

I've seen this sort of thing before.

Somebody probably modified your httpd.conf.  They probably created (or
modified) a <Directory> or <Location> somewhere which includes
the "/repos-xml" path, which is now interfering with the svn-exported
<Location>.

... and 0.20.1?  That's four releases behind, almost three months old!
You better upgrade at some point, if you plan to get tech support from
the list.  :-)

I think your server is trying to tell you that the repository
moved. :-)

Probably just your server admin's email address, and an understanding
that Subversion has a known issue with automatically following server
redirects.
