n00b: unable to access remote SVN repository...
hi all,
i know this question has been posed because i searched the archives
and Googled, but i'm unable to find a solution. please feel free to
reply "RTFM" as long as you can point me to the relevant sections or
an external link. :)
our Ops dept. recently installed SVN 1.4.3 on a RH Linux box for us to
configure since we're finally moving away from VSS. i have a local
SVN repository that i've been playing with for a couple weeks now and
haven't had any problems with it. but i have been accessing that
repository directly using the 'file://' URL.
we have Apache2 setup and configured on the RH Linux box to handle our
SVN traffic. the three required modules are loaded in Apache's
httpd.conf file:
LoadModule dav_module modules/mod_dav.so
LoadModule dav_svn_module modules/mod_dav_svn.so
LoadModule authz_svn_module modules/mod_authz_svn.so
i also have a location directive set up:
<Location /svn>
DAV svn
SVNParentPath /hns/scm/repository
SVNListParentPath on
</Location>
the permissions on the /hns/scm/repository directory are 775 and the
apache user is a member of the group able to access those directories.
the 'repository' directory is meant to contain several repositories,
each of which are also set up with 775 permissions.
i'm able to access http://10.35.2.29/svn via the web browser. i see
the 'RSA' repository that i created using 'svnadmin create RSA';
however, when i click on the RSA link i get the error:
<D:error>
<C:error/>
<m:human-readable errcode="160029">
Could not open the requested SVN filesystem
</m:human-readable>
</D:error>
i've tried adding another location directive to my httpd.conf file
under the first:
<Location /RSA>
DAV svn
SVNPath /hns/scm/repository/RSA
</Location>
but this doesn't seem to help.
from my local command line i've tried to 'svn import *
http://10.35.2.29/svn/RSA' & 'http://10.35.2.29/RSA', as well as 'svn
add * [url]' with the following error:
svn: PROPFIND request failed on /svn [or /RSA, depending on the URL i tried]
svn: Could not open the requested SVN filesystem
on the server i do see the 'conf/, dav/, db/, format/, etc...'
directories in the RSA repository i created. each of these
directories have 775 permissions as well.
i should mention that my local machine is a WinXP/SP2 and i do have
svn 1.4.3 installed locally, so the client and server versions are the
same.
any thoughts? suggestions? links aside from the svnbook?
much appreciated.
andy

i've removed all locations aside from the initial SVNParentPath to no avail...

SELinux is installed, but it is turned off.
i am now able to get in through svnserve. it was a user permission issue. :)
but it would be nice to be able to access the repository via
http/https as well. i'm still stuck on that so i'll read over the
http section of the svnbook again and check the forums. i'm sure it's
just a little detail that i'm missing. ;)

Good, so SVNListParentPath is working.

You shouldn't need that, so I would remove that.

Everything sounds good... Since you said you use Red Hat Linux, I
could only think to ask whether you have SELinux enabled, and if
therefore you need to do some extra stuff, as in this FAQ entry:
