Help Needed regarding svn master-slave configuration--resending i think its not delivered

["Sharma, Gaurav" <Ga...@Safenet-inc.com>]

Hi All,

I have a task in hand to setup a master-slave svn repository configuration so that master will synchronize its repositories with slave. I searched a lot on web and found many links telling about how to set it up. Following those links I started using "svnsync" for this purpose. But some how after spending many days I am not able it to work as desired. Both master and slave are on ubuntu 10.xx. I am trying to set it up using HTTPS

I have two objectives for this setup-

1-       End user should be able to perform both check-out and check-in to the slave repository.
2-       Master should synchronize all its repository with slave

>From the very start I have not able to perform commit on the slave. I got different errors time to time and I am really got tired of these errors.
If I commit on the master then master itself synchronizes with the slave but sometime even this part doesn't work.

Different configuration files are as follows:

On Master

/etc/apache2/mods-available/dav_svn.conf

<Location /svn>
  DAV svn
  SVNParentPath /home/svn
  AuthType Basic
  AuthName "Subversion Repository"
  AuthUserFile /etc/apache2/dav_svn.passwd
  Require valid-user
</Location>

post-commit
/usr/bin/svnsync sync --username mirrorsync --password 123 --non-interactive http://slave-ip/svn-proxy-sync/mirror-repo

post-revprop-change
/usr/bin/svnsync copy-revprops --username mirrorsync --password 123 http://slave-ip/svn-proxy-sync/mirror-repo $REV

On Slave

/etc/apache2/mods-available/dav_svn.conf

<Location /svn>
  DAV svn
  SVNParentPath /home/svn
  SVNMasterURI http://master-ip/svn/master-repo
  AuthType Basic
  AuthName "Subversion Repository"
  AuthUserFile /etc/apache2/dav_svn.passwd
  Require valid-user
</Location>

<Location /svn-proxy-sync>
  DAV svn
  SVNParentPath /home/svn
  AuthType Basic
  AuthName "Subversion Repository"
  AuthUserFile /etc/apache2/dav_svn.passwd
  Require valid-user
</Location>

start-commit

if [ "$USER" = "mirrorsync" ];
  then exit 0;
fi
echo "Only the mirrorsync user may commit new revisions" >&2 exit 1

pre-revprop-change

if [ "$USER" = "mirrorsync" ];
  then exit 0;
fi
echo "Only the mirrorsync user may change revision properties" >&2 exit 1

All kind of module (mod_dav, mod_dav_svn, proxy, proxy_http, ssl) are loaded. I don't have any past experience of working with svn or apache.

I WOULD REALLY APPRICIATE IF SOMEONE CAN HELP ME and tell me what the exact steps are to setup this configuration

Thanks
Gaurav
