 Posted: Thu Jul 12, 2012 11:42 pm Post subject: apache vhosts + svn [solved] |
 |
|
Hello all,
I've been struggling for some time to find a happy apache configuration with subversion using multiple subdomains. I've used apache for a lot of projects and implementations over the years, but I don't have a lot of experience with vhosts. Maybe this is where I'm stumped.
What I'd like is to have my root domain- say, www.mysite.com- go to the default apache page. "It works!" Simple enough. In continuation, I've created a vhost for a wiki at /var/www/wiki.mysite.com/htdocs/mediawiki/. Using the Gentoo documentation, this was a snap- I can point wiki.mysite.com to this resource without issue.
Svn is where it gets a bit tricky. I'd like to have svn.mysite.com bring up a prompt to access my repositories. Traditionally I have always added my config section to /etc/apache2/modules.d/47_mod_dav_svn.conf, as follows: | Code: | <Location /svn/>
DAV svn
SVNParentPath /var/svn
SVNListParentPath on
SVNAutoVersioning On
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Subversion repository"
AuthUserFile /var/svn/conf/svnusers
Require valid-user
# SSLRequireSSL
</Location> |
With this method, I can access my repositories at http://www.mysite.com/svn/ without issue. But as soon as I implement a vhost for svn.mysite.com, I lose my DAV/svn functionality, and get a forbidden message.
I've tried a number of things...
Action: Move the <Location> section from the modules conf file to the vhosts conf file.
Result: Forbidden / No functionality
Action: Change the value in location tag from /svn/ to /
Result: SVN takes over all subdomains
Action: Set the DocumentRoot and Directory for the svn vhost to /var/svn/. Try the svn declarations there.
Result: Forbidden / No functionality
Action: Create a symlink to /var/svn within the htdocs folder for the vhost.
Result: Directory Listing / No functionality
Currently, the best I've been able to manage is have the vhost set up with an anchor to the /svn/ folder to get at the repository. But, this isn't ideal, as all of the projects previously used a dedicated svn server, and having the /svn/ in the path will mean having to update everything.
Surely there must be a better way to do this! Any suggestions?

What does the error log say why access is forbidden?

This was a bit of a bonehead manouver... there wasn't much in the apache error_log, but I was missing a directivewhich brought me to the all familiar repository security prompt. Thanks!
