Learn more about Nabble's security policy. Hello, I compiled the subversion software on my solaris 10 server. I need to set up the server portion of it. I read on http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.0/ch06s04.html when setting up as httpd, the Apache HTTP server, I have one site with a DocumentRoot of /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/docsite. I was going to make docsite the subversion repository but then I saw this? “Be sure that when you define your new Location, it doesn't overlap with other exported Locations. For example, if your main DocumentRoot is /www, do not export a Subversion repository in <Location /www/repos>. If a request comes in for the URI /www/repos/foo.c, Apache won't know whether to look for a file repos/foo.c in the DocumentRoot, or whether to delegate mod_dav_svn to return foo.c from the Subversion repository.” My users just want to edit a document and have it immediately reflected on the web site without having to move it to another location. Do you have any suggestions? Can I use another directory for the repository and just create a symbolic link from docsite to the repository? Thank you very much.

	RE: apache configuration questions by csross :: Rate this Message: Reply to Author \| View Threaded \| Show Only this Message One question though. How does that eliminate the problems of "Apache won't know whether to look for a file repos/foo.c in the DocumentRoot, or whether to delegate mod_dav_svn to return foo.c from the Subversion repository."

It's irrelevant for Apache 2.2 as I know. It always look for DAV first. But to be on safe side, don't put any real files that would happen on the same URL, as the location of SVN repository. > DirectoryRoot /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/docsite and > <Location /docsite> > DAV svn > SVNParentPath /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/docsite > </Location> Real bad idea, i'd say. Try DirectoryRoot /home/svn/htdocs and <Location /docsite> DAV svn SVNParentPath /home/svn/repos </Location> (However, create appropriate user (svn) first, and assign him to the same primary group, as your Apache server running.) Also, it would be good if you don't top-post. -- WBR, Andrey Repin (anrdaemon@...) 03.11.2009, <3:58> Sorry for my terrible english... ------------------------------------------------------ http://subversion.tigris.org/ds/viewMessage.do?dsForumId=1065&dsMessageId=2413987 To unsubscribe from this discussion, e-mail: [users-unsubscribe@...].

Oh? I hadn't heard. Is there a fixed bug report or a changeset you can point to confirming this? I would still recommend what we've always recommended: do not put a Subversion repository inside your document root. There's no reason at all for it to be there, and it has (historically at least) caused problems to do so. ------------------------------------------------------ http://subversion.tigris.org/ds/viewMessage.do?dsForumId=1065&dsMessageId=2415690 To unsubscribe from this discussion, e-mail: [users-unsubscribe@...].
