[users@httpd] Apache/2.2.22 (Ubuntu) - Location block precedence for SVN repo locations

[deoren <us...@whyaskwhy.org>]

Hi,

Thanks in advance for reading this and any for help you can provide.

I call myself trying the steps described in various forum, blog and official documentation recommendations, but I'm still getting unexpected (to me) behavior from two similar <Location> blocks. I even took the example from the serverfault.com post referenced below and tried to adapt it to my setup, but that didn't help either.

I think I must be overlooking something obvious.

My test conf settings:

<Location /sub >
         DAV svn
         SVNPath /var/svn/example.org/testing
         SVNPathAuthz off

         SVNIndexXSLT "/shared/xslt/svnindex.xsl"
         SVNReposName "Sandbox repository"

         # We will use LDAP Authentication
         AuthName "testing sub"
         AuthType Basic
         AuthBasicProvider  ldap
         AuthzLDAPAuthoritative On
         
         AuthLDAPGroupAttributeIsDN on
         AuthLDAPGroupAttribute memberUid
         AuthLDAPBindDN "uid=bind-user,ou=bind-accounts,o=example"
         AuthLDAPBindPassword "notrealpassword"
         AuthLDAPUrl ldap://localhost:389/ou=people,o=example?uid

         Require user user1 user2
</Location>

<Location /sub/foo >
         DAV svn
         SVNPath /var/svn/example.org/testing
         SVNPathAuthz off

         SVNIndexXSLT "/shared/xslt/svnindex.xsl"
         SVNReposName "testing sub foo"

         # Block any commit attempts.
         <LimitExcept GET PROPFIND OPTIONS REPORT>
             Order deny,allow
             Deny from All
         </LimitExcept>
</Location>

The LDAP conf options work without issues, but it's the prompt that I am getting which I'd like to _not_ receive for "/sub/foo" requests.


I thought that having the less restrictive and more path specific block beneath the other would allow it to override the less specific block, but so far no luck.
