 Posted: Tue Jun 08, 2004 6:12 am Post subject: subversion with apache2 how? |
 |
|
I am trying very hard to get subversion working with apache2 but I have no idea how to configure subversion. I've configured apache with DAV but I am getting a 403 forbidden when trying to browse to the folder.
| Code: | Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /svn/ on this server.
Apache/2.0.49 (Gentoo/Linux) DAV/2 mod_ssl/2.0.49 OpenSSL/0.9.7d PHP/4.3.6 Server at [ServerName] Port 80 |
how do you setup subversion? |

Ok I've got it to work. I now can display the root directory, now how to I create folders and such. I've tried svn mkdir /var/...path to svn/newdirectory and I get the following error
| Code: |
root@ruggles svn # svn mkdir /var/www/localhost/htdocs/svn/project2
svn: '/var/www/localhost/htdocs/svn' is not a working copy
|
if I try it through the web this is what I get
| Code: |
root@ruggles svn # svn mkdir http://192.168.1.50/svn/project3
Log message unchanged or not specified
a)bort, c)ontinue, e)dit
c
svn: OPTIONS request failed on '/svn'
svn: OPTIONS of '/svn': 301 Moved Permanently (http://192.168.1.50)
|

You first have to setup the repository.
| Code: | | svn create /path/to/repos |
This generates the database. The whole directory has to be owned by the user that also runs apache. I'm a little afraid you got some parts about how subversion works wrong, it is not directory/file driven like CVS, all files are stored in a database (berkdb), so you can't create directories like you tried. After the initial DB creation, then your commands should work.

Originally you are correct I created the svn as a regular folder. Here is what i have currently
in commonapache2.conf
| Code: |
<Location /svn/>
DAV svn
SVNPath /var/www/localhost/htdocs/svn/
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Subversion repository"
AuthUserFile /var/lib/dav/svnusers
Require valid-user
</Location>
<IfModule mod_dav_fs.c>
# Location of the WebDAV lock database.
DavLockDB /var/lib/dav/lockdb
</IfModule>
|
I have created the svn directory with the following commands
| Code: |
root@ruggles htdocs # svnadmin create /var/www/localhost/htdocs/svn
root@ruggles htdocs # chown -R apache:apache /var/www/localhost/htdocs/svn
|
now when I try to run the command
| Code: |
root@ruggles htdocs # svn mkdir /var/www/localhost/htdocs/svn/project |
I get the following error
| Code: |
svn: '/var/www/localhost/htdocs/svn' is not a working copy

Looks like you are using the wrong syntax for svn mkdir
Try this:
| Code: |
svn mkdir -m "Making a new dir." http://localhost/svn/project
|

Oops, forgot to include the repository name, try this:
| Code: |
svn mkdir -m "Making a new dir." http://localhost/svn/svn/project1

One other thing you could try, importing:
| Code: |
mkdir -p tmpdir/project1
cd tmpdir
svn import . http://localhost/svn/svn/ -m 'Initial layout'
|
Then if it works, you can check it out:
| Code: |
rm -rf tmpdir
svn checkout http://localhost/svn/svn/project1
|

No go here is what I got

BTW thanks for your help so far. |

Hmm. Strange. How about changing your apache config and remove the trailing slash.
| Code: |
SVNPath /var/www/localhost/htdocs/svn
|
Re-start apache and then try the import again. If it's not that, I'm not really sure what the problem is.

No go.
I am at a loss. Is there any configuration help for Gentoo. Since gentoo has a different Apache format the normal docs just don't work. |

Saw this in the Subversion FAQ:
| Quote: |
I can see my repository in a web browser, but 'svn checkout' gives me an error about "301 Moved Permanently". What's wrong?
It means your httpd.conf is misconfigured. Usually this error happens when you've defined the Subversion virtual "location" to exist within two different scopes at the same time.
For example, if you've exported a repository as <Location /www/foo>, but you've also set your DocumentRoot to be /www, then you're in trouble. When the request comes in for /www/foo/bar, apache doesn't know whether to find a real file named /foo/bar within your DocumentRoot, or whether to ask mod_dav_svn to fetch a file /bar from the /www/foo repository. Usually the former case wins, and hence the "Moved Permanently" error.
The solution is to make sure your repository <Location> does not overlap or live within any areas already exported as normal web shares.

That was it. I moved my svn directy out of the /var/www/localhost/htdocs and it work great. Thanks for your help, you have no idea how much I appreciate it. |

I emerged subversion-1.0.4-r1 and configured it as it was written in the end of the ebuild:
- created the repository with
| Code: | | ebuild /usr/portage/dev-util/subversion/subversion-1.0.4.ebuild config |
created my userfile with | Code: | | htpasswd2 -m -c /var/svn/conf/svnusers USERNAME |
added the values | Code: | | APACHE2_OPTS="-D SSL -D PHP4 -D DAV -D SVN" |
to /etc/conf.d/apache2
Seems I don't have to edit the apache2.conf because the ebuild created a file /etc/apache2/conf/modules.d/47_mod_dav_svn.conf
| Code: |
<IfDefine SVN>
<IfModule !mod_dav_svn.c>
LoadModule dav_svn_module extramodules/mod_dav_svn.so
</IfModule>
<Location /svn/repos>
DAV svn
SVNPath /var/svn/repos
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Subversion repository"
AuthUserFile /var/svn/conf/svnusers
Require valid-user
</Location>
</IfDefine>
|
I checked the rights in the directory /var/svn - they are all set to apache.
Everything I do now results in the same problems:
| Code: |
sk@homebase var $ svn mkdir -m "Making a new dir." http://localhost/svn/asdf/project1
Authentication realm: <http://localhost:80> Subversion repository
Password for 'sk':
svn: OPTIONS request failed on '/svn/asdf'
svn: OPTIONS of '/svn/asdf': 500 Internal Server Error (http://localhost)
|
I checked the apache logs:
| Code: |
==> /var/log/apache2/access_log <==
127.0.0.1 - - [17/Jun/2004:09:02:13 +0200] "OPTIONS /svn/asdf HTTP/1.1" 401 552 "-" "SVN/1.0.4 (r9844) neon/0.24.6"
127.0.0.1 - sk [17/Jun/2004:09:02:17 +0200] "OPTIONS /svn/asdf HTTP/1.1" 500 234 "-" "SVN/1.0.4 (r9844) neon/0.24.6"
==> /var/log/apache2/error_log <==
[Thu Jun 17 09:02:17 2004] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] (20014)Error string not specified yet: Can't open file '/var/svn/repos/asdf/format': No such file or directory

|
There is a /var/svn/repos/format file but no /var/svn/repos/asdf/format. |

make sure you add the following to the apache2.conf
| Code: | LoadModule dav_module modules/mod_dav.so
LoadModule dav_svn_module /usr/lib/apache2-extramodules/mod_dav_svn.so
|
also remember to run svnadmin create <reponame> |

Adding these lines is not nessecary with the ebuild: It installs 2 files in the apache2/conf/modules.d which are included in the apache2.conf. These files contain the lines you wrote.
Running the ebuild with the config command calls svnadmin and creates the repository in /var/svn/repos and even changes the access rights for the files to apache....
Using a webbrowser with http://homebase/svn/repos results in "Could not open the requested SVN filesystem" - it seems that the modules are loaded in apache... |

If thats the error you got then you never ran with the name of the repository. You must have just tried to create the directory repos using mkdir. |

Hi guys,
This may sound like a dumb question, but can I view, edit, and create files/directories across the web with a webdav and svn enabled apache, and will be simple as going to https://server/path_to_repository?
