[RESOLVED] SVN died

[Kudose]

'ello all.

My repo was working just fine ... I went to update this morning and I get error 405.

64.126.xxxx - - [28/Aug/2008:08:07:38 -0600] "OPTIONS /repo HTTP/1.1" 200 181 "-" "SVN/1.5.1 (r32289) neon/0.28.2"

I don't even know where to begin because some requests get code 200 (OK) and others get 405.

TIA!

405 is "Method Not Allowed" which would seem to say that PROPFIND is being blocked by something (mod_security maybe?). If you can SSH to the server, I'd try to manually do a "svn list http://myserver.com/svn/myproject" and see what it spews out at you.

What does your httpd.conf file look like dealing with the SVN repos?

[Kudose]

# svn list http://phpdealer.com/repo
svn: PROPFIND request failed on '/repo'
svn: PROPFIND of '/repo': 405 Method Not Allowed (http://phpdealer.com)

🙁

# svn list repo
svn: 'repo' is not a working copy
[root@aarondev phpdealer.com]# ls
httpsdocs  private   statistics
cgi-bin   error_docs   old        releases  subdomains

[root@aarondev phpdealer.com]# cd repo/
[root@aarondev repo]# ls

[root@aarondev repo]# svn list .

[root@aarondev conf]# cat vhost.conf
<Location /var/www/vhosts/phpdealer.com/repo>
        DAV svn
        SVNPath /var/www/vhosts/phpdealer.com/repo
        AuthName "phpDealer"
        AuthType Basic
        AuthUserFile /var/www/vhosts/phpdealer.com/repo/conf/passwd
        Require valid-user
</Location>

Thanks for your help. 🙂

The Location directive takes the "path" relative to the URL root. So if phpdealer.com is the URL, and you reach your SVN repo by browsing to phpdealer.com/repo then the Location needs to be "/repo" not "/var/www/vhosts/phpdealer.com/repo".

Locations are from the URL, Directory is from the hard disk.

So for example:

<Location /repo>
    DAV svn
    SVNPath /var/www/vhosts/phpdealer.com/repo
    AuthName "phpDealer"
    AuthType Basic
    AuthUserFile /var/www/vhosts/phpdealer.com/repo/conf/passwd
    Require valid-user
</Location>

<Directory /var/www/vhosts/phpdealer.com/repo>
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>

Hope that helps.

Buahahahahaha.

That's the insanity from how easy the fix was.

Thanks a million!

[note]
I had to recreate that file ... for some reason Plesk deleted it.

That's very useful and I will have to remember that.
