Look for help on windows server platform
Hi,
I am having a serious trouble on production subversion with below
setting:
Windows 2003 Server x64 Std.
Apache 2.0.54
Subversion 1.2.1 with windows auth.
My problem is,
The subversion (or maybe apache) just stops responding after several
days.
I tried to restart the server, it just came out black screen with a
moveable cursor, no blue screen,
not hang.
I am urgently looking for help on this issue, any advisories will be
appreciated.

Hello Eric,
I'm using W2K3, SVN 1.3.1 and Apache 2.0.58 and I have a stable server.
If I could, I choose linux, but my corporation likes windows, so there it
goes.
Perhaps if you can send more details of your stability problems we can help
you.

And switch to FSFS instead of BDB for the back-end, if feasible: I've come
to really prefer FSFS, partly because it vastly eases migration of
subversion from one server to another by avoiding conflicts in versions of
BDB.

OK. I agree here with you. I just said that using linux as subversion
server is better. But if he can not do that than I guess he can try
several things:
1. Change version of apache and subversion he uses to more recent.
2. Setup subversion as a windows service and use it without apache. In
fact that is more appropriate setup for windows server. This also
assumes using more recent version of subversion.

Changing server OSes is hardly a trivial task, especially in a large
corporate environment - nor is it a guarantee of a fix (consider the
damage done to the reputations of Apache, Linux, and SVN in his
organization if switching to Linux didn't solve the problem).
Corporations don't just switch their server OS on a whim.
Moreover, this SVN server may do multiple jobs, all requiring Windows.
Making a switch that much harder.
Windows 2003 is a pretty solid OS, and there are lots of people
running Apache on it successfully.
Let's focus instead on helping him get the system he has working properly.

Moving up to a known solid SVN release is a smart move - 1.2.1 is
pretty old, 1.2.3 would be good or even 1.3.x. Eric may also want to
look for x64-native builds of Apache & SVN, as they may help reduce
conflicts & weird behavior.

I use subversion a lot and from my experience if you need something that
works 24 hours 7 days in a week you will need to switch to linux. Apache
on windows simply can not compare with apache on linux.
I recommend you to install Redhat Enterprise 4 or at least CentOS 4.2
and you will see it working like a charm, and you should at least use
subversion 1.2.3 because it is the first really good version that is
fully usable.

So Windows didn't even come back up all the way? That is likely a
hardware or driver issue.

So what exactly is the state of the server right now? Can you access
it at all? Anything in the Apache logs? Anything in the
System/Application/Event logs? Does it just not boot fully?
