Webdav only works with SVNParentPath, not SVNPath
Hello,
It seems that autoversioned webdav only works with SVNParentPath, not SVNPath. We am apache-hosting svn on both
my work PC and at opensvn.csie.org. Same problem.
Here is the svn section of http.conf:
<Location /svn>
DAV svn
# SVNPath c:/Work/svn
SVNParentPath c:/Work
SVNAutoversioning on
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Berwyn's Repository"
AuthUserFile conf/svnusers.conf
Require valid-user
</Location>
The above works fine with SVNParentPath. To test this, I load up internet explorer, click file->Open, then enter
"https://berwyn/svn/svn" and check the "Open as Web Folder" box.
But what I really want is to use SVNPath and webdav to "https://berwyn/svn". That simply doesn't work. The error is
"Internet Explorer could not open https://berwyn/svn. Would you like to see it's default [non-webdav] view instead?"
Anyone else get this working somehow?
Thanks,
Berwyn

Hi,
Thanks for the feedback, but I think you've misunderstood my problem. Yes, I know how Path vs ParentPath works.
Subversion works fine and is accessable with either SVNPath or SVNParentPath. This tests out fine when browsing to
the proper location. No, the problem is just with webdav & autoversioning!
My repository is indeed c:\work\svn:
So, if I use "SVNPath c:/Work/svn", I can access the repository just fine at https://berwyn/svn.
Likewise, if I use "SVNParentPath c:\Work" then I can access the repository fine at https://berwyn/svn/svn.
This is as expected. Problem is when I try to access it with webdav. Then why doesn't it work with SVNPath?
See original description of problem below.
Thanks,
Berwyn

Re: Webdav only works with SVNParentPath, not SVNPath
Posted by Olivier Sannier <ob...@free.fr>.
Yes, that is right.
In the SVNParentPath, every subdirectory is a repository, it contains
the required files for SVN (either FSFS or BDB).
Hence, if the location is called /svn and points on c:\work, the
subdirectory called svn in c:\work will be accessible as /svn/svn.
This is perfectly normal and expected. This allows to do what we do here:
/svn/sources
/svn/docs
both are subdirectories of a network drive, and there is only one
Location section in httpd.conf. this way, if tomorrow I want to add a
"marketing" repository, I simply create a subdir in the share with the
required files and it works straight ahead, no new httpd.conf, no restart.

Seems to me that you have the URL's turned around...
SVNParentPath should be able to point to https://berwyn/svn and return a
proper value. SVNPath has to point to an explicit repository name
(assuming your repository name is 'svn', this would then be
https://berwyn/svn/svn.
Try that. Maybe I am misreading, but that is the first thing that comes
to mind.
