Re: Could not open the requested SVN filesystem

Update: 
        Our admins installed locale en_US.UTF-8. 
        I went ahead and changed LC_CTYPE variable to en_US.UTF-8. 
        Apache conversion error wet away. 

Though svn http support still doesn not work. Now something really strange 
is happening. 

When requesting: svn co http://hostname/repos/crma or svn co 
http://hostname/repos/trunk (depending on SVNParentPath or SVNPath 
setting) 
apache log gives me the following error: 
        (20014)Error string not specified yet: Can't open file 
'/sas/svnrepos/crma/format': No such  file or directory 

note config file: 

<Location /repos>
    DAV svn
   #SVNParentPath /sas/svnrepos
    SVNPath /sas/svnrepos/crma
</Location>

Somehow SVN apache module attaches directory "format". Does anybody have 
any idea where that directory is coming from? 

thanks for any ideas!

still not giving up,
i.

Different operating systems, and even different versions or 
configurations of one operating system, may name these locales 
differently. For example, on Mac OS X 10.4.4, it's called 
en_US.UTF-8, whereas on our Gentoo Linux box, it's just called en.

Yep, I found it. It has all the rights it can have. Why it is showing up 
in Apache log as part of repo is still a mystery.

thanx

"format" is a file, and it's part of every repository created with 
"svnadmin create". If you look in your repository directory, it 
should contain all these items:

$ ls -1F
README.txt
conf/
dav/
db/
format
hooks/
locks/
