Problems with Autoversioning and WebDAV with Windows XP
Greetings,
I am trying to mount a subversion 1.1.0 repository running on linux
with apache httpd-2.0.52 as a WebFolder under Windows XP Professional.
I am able view the repository through a web browser, but not able to
mount under XP. I can, however, mount it from Mac OS X without any
issues. I can add the share successfully, but when I attempt to expand
it under My Network Places, I get a dialog:
\\webdav.contegix.com\svn is not accessible. You might not have
permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of
this server to find out if you have access permissions.
The network path was not found.
An excerpt from the Apache config is as follows:
DavLockDB /var/lib/apache2/DavLock
<Location /svn>
DAV svn
SVNPath /opt/svn/root/contegix/test
SVNAutoversioning on
ForceType text/plain
Order Allow,Deny
Allow from all
</Location>
At this time, I have authentication turned off to rule out any
problem related to that. Also, it is publicly available at
http://webdav.contegix.com/svn in case someone can rule out the
possibility that it is a problem with my Windows environment. There is
nothing logged to error log and access log just shows:
63.246.15.189 - - [14/Oct/2004:12:11:44 -0500] "PROPFIND /svn HTTP/1.1"
207 1198 "-" "Microsoft-WebDAV-MiniRedir/5.1.2600"
63.246.15.189 - - [14/Oct/2004:12:11:44 -0500] "PROPFIND /svn HTTP/1.1"
207 1198 "-" "Microsoft-WebDAV-MiniRedir/5.1.2600"
Any help on this is greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
-craig

THAT was the missing piece of the puzzle. Damn you Microsoft! Just
because I don't specify the port (when it's the default) it doesn't
work? Ugh! :-(
Once past this, I still had SERIOUS performance problems on my XP box,
but have tried on other XP boxes that I could get my hands on, and it
worked great. Thanks for your help!

Could this be the svn ls performance problem with 1.1.0 and 1.0.8?
FWIW, I just accessed your site from my XP system and it seemed
super-fast. I just did Add Network place and entered this URL:
http://webdav.contegix.com:80/svn <-- note the :80
I then copied a file named c.txt to my disk. Edited it, and copied it
back.

I managed to track down a box which still had Windows 2000 on it, and
created the link, added it to the WebDAV, pulled the .lnk on the XP
box, and it works. Well, sort of. Functionally it works, but it is
UNBEARABLY slow. It seems that the problem of it not working at all
goes beyond XP boxes that are member of a NT Domain, because this one
is most certainly not.
Now, has anyone else noticed the unbearably slow speed? Is it a
problem with my apache configuration? The share is still available at
http://webdav.contegix.com/svn if anyone who has done this before has
something else to compare it to. For convenience, the .lnk file is on
the share

I am not sure. I just remember the issue being talked about and the patch
being submitted, so I looked it up for you in case you hadn't read it.
It seems like the primary problem is that the .lnk file was not created
correctly by XP. Perhaps you could try the approach of editing the file?
Also, came across this when searching.

Mark,
I did check the link. I had read the latest version of the 1.1 book.
The section seems to imply that there are problems when an XP box is a
member of an NT Domain, which this one is not. Are there also known
problems when NOT a member of an NT Domain?

Out of curiosity, did you check the link I sent, or just assume I was
telling you to go read the book? The link I sent is to a relatively new
entry about the feature not working on XP. The only workaround proposed
is that you can create the shortcut on a Win2K system and copy it to an XP
system.
Your reply makes me think you thought that I was pointing you to the
instructions on setting up autoversioning and WevDAV in general.

I had the same problem with webdav and Windows XP Pro.
The solution is to add a "#" at the end of the url of your webdav
folder. This prevent windows XP from defaulting the passorwd to a domain
password (ie: login:"\\MACHINE\user" instead of "user")
for a webdav folder under "http://intranet/dav/" you have to open it in
share with "http://intranet/dav/#"
I doesn't test it with dav svn but it must be the same windows problem.
