[WebSVN] how to rewrite https://<hostname>/wsvn to https://<hostname>/wsvn/

[Indra Gunawan-2]

How can I force a rewrite of https://<hostname>/wsvn request to https://<hostname>/wsvn/

I have enabled Multiviews according to the documentation in install.html.

Both are not actually the same.  They return different listing of SVN repo from the parent root.

my httpd.conf:

<Location /wsvn/>
   Allow from all
   Require valid-user
   AuthName "NMTGRE Subversion Repository"
   AuthType Basic
   AuthLDAPBindDN "<bindDN>"
   AuthLDAPBindPassword password
   AuthLDAPUrl "ldap://<ldap>"
</Location>

I've googled for apache rewrite for adding trailing / to any URI but it is working for this.  It works for redirecting https://<hostname>/websvn or https://<hostname>/websvn/ to https://<hostname>/wsvn/

I am using WebSVN 2.2.1

Thank you.

Make sure you have mod_alias loaded:

LoadModule alias_module modules/mod_alias.so

Then you can use this command:

<IfModule alias_module>
     RedirectMatch permanent ^/wsvn$ /wsvn/
</IfModule>

I suggest putting it just above the Location block for wsvn so they  
group together. FYI, the "^" means to start at the beginning of the  
request string, and "$" means that must be the end of the string, so  
the regular expression only matches "/wsvn" exactly.

Yes!  This works.  It is also simpler than using Rewrite.

I did try Redirect before and I did not know that the start of URL Request is "/".

I used this before and obviously it did not work:
Redirect ^wsvn$ /wsvn

Anyway, I removed the complex rewrite for websvn also.

Here is my htpd.conf per your suggestion:

#Redirect /wsvn and /websvn to /wsvn/
RedirectMatch permanent ^/websvn/?$ /wsvn/
RedirectMatch permanent ^/wsvn$ /wsvn/
#WebSVN with Apache MultiViews
<Location /wsvn/>
   Allow from all
   Require valid-user
   AuthName "NMTGRE Subversion Repository"
   AuthType Basic
   AuthLDAPBindDN "<bindDN"
   AuthLDAPBindPassword password
   AuthLDAPUrl "ldap://<ldap>"
</Location>

It redirects /websvn, /websvn/, and /wsvn to /wsvn/

Thank you very much.  I spent all night last night figuring this and it turns out to be a simple solution after all.
