RE: svn with apache Can't set position pointer in file
Hi Ryan,
Thanks a ton. I have now got it up.
The issue was with the apr mismatch. I built the subversion with the apr
that comes with apache 2.2.9
However I am not sure how to grant "per directory access control" to
users. I have successfully created a svn-auth-file which contains the
username and passwords for all the users.
However as mentioned in Chapter 6, example 6.3 (A sample configuration
for mixed authenticated/anonymous access) I am not able to get the
"AuthzSVNAccessFile". Is it a file that should be created within the
conf directory when I create a repository, as was the case with
"svnserve.conf and authz files" which get created automatically?
Please let me know if this file gets automatically created else if one
has to create it manually for the configuration then please let me know
what possible entries I need to put to it.
I am a newbie, hence not much aware of the configurations.
Thanks in advance.
Below is the entry of the httpd.conf file I have used in the
configuration

Ok, I'll deal with this below.

This means your SVNPath is wrong (it does not point to a repository).
In your case, it sounds like your repository is at /usr/local/
subversion/repository, therefore if you want to use SVNPath (that is,
if you only want to serve a single repository, not a collection of
repositories) then you want "SVNPath /usr/local/subversion/
repository". If you do want to serve a collection of repositories,
then you need "SVNParentPath /usr/local/subversion" instead.

[snip]
Apache 2.2.x contains and requires APR 1.2.x (or now 1.3.x I believe).
Subversion can use either APR 0.9.x or APR 1.x, but if used together
with Apache, it must use the same version of APR as Apache does.
subversion-deps-1.4.6.tar.gz contains APR 0.9.x so that's not
compatible with Apache 2.2.x.
When you build Subversion, you should tell it to use the APR (and APR-
Util) that came with Apache 2.2.x instead of the ones in the
subversion-deps package.
Finally, you should use Subversion 1.5.0 instead of 1.4.6 because it
is newer. Subversion 1.5.0's deps package also comes with APR 1.x.
