Migration of SVN repository
Hi,
I am new to SVN and would appreciate any ideas you might have concerning the following scenario.
We need to migrate SVN repository from one site to the other. We tried a simple copy but we got error messages detailed in here http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk/notes/repos_upgrade_HOWTO - so we decided to follow the 'upgrade' procedure and migrated a dump file.
The problem now is that after this upgrade, when trying to view the repository via Internet Explorer we are prompted to give user name and password and after that we get "The page cannot be displayed" message (HTTP 500 Internal server error).
P.S - this did not happen in the copied repository.
P Let's think about the environment...and think before we print
Thanks,
Perry

A dump file is independent of the repository type. You can dump a BDB
repository and load it into a new FSFS repository for example. Any
new repository you "svnadmin create" with Subversion 1.2 or later is
FSFS by default. So you either created the new repository with
Subversion 1.1 or earlier, or you specifically asked for it to be a
BDB repository by typing "svnadmin create --fs-type bdb"

How is Apache set up on the new server? Can you show us the snippet
from your httpd.conf? Where is the new repository on disk? What
version of Subversion is being used? What OS is on the server?
