Trouble with SVN on second port

  • 772

Got apache 2.2 listening on 2 ports: one for public serving and just added the second one for maintenance purposes. Now, Here's what works:

<VirtualHost *>
        ServerName some.public.domain
    DocumentRoot /var/www
        <Location /svn>
                DAV svn
                SVNPath /var/svn
        </Location>
</VirtualHost>

And this doesn't:

<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1:40>
        ServerName localhost
    DocumentRoot /var/www_tmp
        <Location /svn>
                DAV svn
                SVNPath /var/svn/concrete_repo
        </Location>
</VirtualHost>

Accessing http://localhost:40/svn results in a

File does not exist: /var/www_tmp/svn

record in apache error log. Any ideas?

TIA.

  1. Document root should exists, the Dav mapping is made only on the Location part.

    In other words apache (without Dav) must be aware of its document root, then mod_dav can do the trick and create a "virtual" DOCUMENT_ROOT/svn

  2. Do you have this directive before the VirtualHost?

    NameVirtualHost *

  3. You have 

      DocumentRoot /var/www_tmp

    and 

      SVNPath /var/www/svn

    probably a typo...fix it and see what happens

    Ok, here's what has worked out:

    <Location /svn>
        DAV svn
        SVNParentPath /var/svn
        SVNListParentPath on
</Location>
