Problems upgrading 1.1.3 to 1.2.0

[Ron Gilbert <li...@rzweb.com>]

I have been running subversion 1.1.3 for about a month with no 
problems.  I just upgraded to 1.2.0 and now I can't connect the the 
server anymore.  I am using svnserve on FreeBSD 5.4.

When I try and connect, I get:

svn: Can't connect to host 'xxxxxx.net': Connection refused

I have tried connecting from my XP machine and from the local machine 
and I get the same error.  I can connect from the local machine using 
file://.  I have tried creating a new repository and a new project to 
make sure it is not a compatibility issue with my 1.1.3 repositories, 
but I get the same error.  I've tried anon-access as well as 
auth-access with the same results.

I have verified that the server is running (via ps).  I can't see any 
place that svnserve is writing error logs.  I am starting svnserve via:

svnserve -d -r /home/svn/repository

I've tried running svnserve using --foreground and nothing is printed 
to the screen.

I sounds like the connection is never even getting to svnserve.  Did 
something change from 1.1.3?  Port?  Nothing has changed on the 
machine.  It was working.  I upgraded (using ports) and now it doesn't 
work.

Any suggestions?

Ron

The server is probably listening on ipv6 only, this is a common problem 
with the new svnserver on *BSD systems.

Add --listen-host=0.0.0.0 to the command line when you start svnserve, 
that will force it to use ipv4.

I just upgraded my server from 1.1.3 to 1.2.0 with no problems.
However, all of my clients are still on 1.1.3. (as soon as I get
permission to be administrator on my machine, I'll upgrade my client
to 1.2 and make sure that also works). I also use http and not svn as
my protocol.

Have you tried pinging the server? How about telneting to port 3690 on
your server?

That way, you can at least determine whether you can communicate with
your server.

Re: Problems upgrading 1.1.3 to 1.2.0 (FIXED)

[Ron Gilbert <li...@rzweb.com>]

After some further investigation, I found the problem.  On FreeBSD, 
1.2.0 only listens to ipv6.

Adding --listen-host=0.0.0.0 when starting svnserve fixes the problem.

You may need to reinstall at least Subversion and possibly apr to get
it to work correctly.

The first few times I installed 1.2.0 on FreeBSD, it didn't pass 'make check'.

Try this:

* Go to /usr/ports/devel/subversion/work/subversion-1.2.0 and run
'make check'.  I am guessing you'll get a problem here.
* I don't know what the minimal fix is, but what worked for me was to
uninstall any existing Subversion, look for any remnants in
/usr/local, and so on.  Reinstall devel/apr, using
APR_UTIL_WITHOUT_THREADS=yes (check the Makefile for the exact option
name).  If you don't use BDB, also use
APR_UTIL_WITHOUT_BERKELEY_DATABASE=yes as well.

I've traded some emails with lev about this, and we don't think
there's an easy solution.  There's something going on that I don't
quite understand, and I just don't have the time to investigate it.  I
got it to the point that 'make check' passed everything and decided to
be happy about it.

99% of the time, I trust a FreeBSD port build to work correctly.  For
Subversion, however, it's just always going to be necessary to double
check it.
