http access...

hi...

ok. somewhere i've screwed up, or forgot something.. i thought i had tested
this awhile ago.

i'm trying to set up a test to access a repository via http/apache.

the test repository is outside the normal http doc root '/var/www/html'. the
test repo is '/svnroot'. the actual test svn is /svnroot/test1. i can access
this via 'svn list file:///svnroot/test1'.

i have the following section in the http.conf file:

#test svn app
<Location /svn1>
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
DAV svn
SVNParentPath /svnroot
#   SVNPath /gforge-svn/troy/svn
#   AuthzSVNAccessFile /svnroot/conf/authz


#   Require valid-user
#   AuthType Basic
#   AuthName "svn test"
#   AuthUserFile /svnroot/conf/passwd
</Location>

i try to access it via http://102.168.0.1/svn1/test1

i get an error in the httpd err log saying it can't find the
/var/www/html/svn1 dir.....

i was under the impression that i should be able to use a simple browser to
be able to access/view files in a repository without needing
websvn/webcvs/etc...

any thoughts/comments/help....

if i could see someone's httpd.conf file, as well as how you access the
repository, and the repository physical location, i can try to figure out
what's going on.

thanks

update.....

i managed to get the basic httpd.conf working for the svn repository.
however, i'm now trying to setup a virtualhost section with the location
block inside the <virtualhost>

any pointers would be helpful...

thanks

hi madison..

thanks for the reply... the problem/issue i'm having is that for some
reason, my setup seems to want to find the "Location" "/svn" under the
docroot "/www/var/html".. as far as i can tell, shouldn't the location
"/svn" be mapped to the svnparentpath "/svnroot" so i should be able to do
http://192.168.1.1/svn/test1 which would map to '/svnroot/test1'

can you tell me if your "svn" repositories are in/outside of your docroot
path/dir structure

thanks

I've always found examples worked best for me, so given that I am
somewhat new to SVN myself I'll post my (working) httpd.conf file
(relevant parts, anyway). Note that I am on FreeBSD so paths may seem
odd, adjust accordingly. Some may not be needed as I am running WebSVN
(like the PHP module, iirc)

### On the server: ###
- When installing via 'ports', install Apache20 using 'make

- Setup Apache by adding ('/svn' is where the various projects are stored):
LoadModule dav_module /usr/local/libexec/apache2/mod_dav.so

	AuthType Basic
	AuthName "Synaptic Subversion Repositories"
	AuthUserFile /etc/svn-auth-file

- Now setup authentication (use '-c' first time only to create the file):
# htpasswd -cm /etc/svn-auth-file user1
<pass>
<pass>
# htpasswd -m /etc/svn-auth-file user2
<pass>

- Now create the file '/etc/svn-access-file' and add data like:

[test:/]
@test = rw

-=] Create a repository [=-
- Once installed, create your project repository path and run:
# svnadmin create /path/to/repo


### On the client: ###
-=] Prepare the Project [=-
- Create the directory with the project files:
# mkdir ./project/trunk
		./tags
		./branches

- Copy your project into './project/trunk'.
- Now run the initial import:
# cd ./project
# svn import . http://<url>/path/to/<project> -m "Initial import."
- Once imported, delete your copy:
# cd ..
# rm -rf ./project
- Now checkout the project from SVN (to get revision info)
# svn co http://<url>/path/to/<project>

Done!!!

- # cd /usr/ports/devel/viewvc && make && make install
