can't get subversion/Apache2 to work properly

I have been trying to get subversion to work using apache2 in 10.3 by
following the instructions in
/usr/share/doc/packages/subversion/README.SuSE
I also installed viewvc

The Web pages for both of these seem to work properly, but when I get
to the last step (loading the repository) I always get a PROPFIND
error:
PROPFIND of '/repos/tekplot': 301 Moved Permanently (https://
192.168.1.13)

I googles this, and it talks about having the repo under the doc root
as being bad, but I do not think I am doing this, so I an quite stuck.
I even moved the repository to another disk partition.

Here is my subversion.conf file:

<IfModule mod_dav_svn.c>

<IfModule mod_alias.c>

I find that using 'usvn' is easy to set up and use. You might consider this
option as it's as easy as installing with Yast and then open up a web
browser as root and point your browser to [url]http://localhost/usvn[/url] to get
started.

Much less complificated (my word) than the method you are trying...

Remember to paste a copy of the generated text in step #5 (or was it 6 ?) as
instructed during install. Then do 'rcapche2 restart' in a root terminal
(su) and then on the final step of install click the connect to USVN button
and you're there. Click the 'Admin' tab to start using this php frontend
and enjoy.

P.S. I don't see any problems with their license which is open source but
not GPL !!! Read the license agreement as you must anyway in order to
proceed with the setup...

This is my opinion though you may disagree..

Great idea. I used the auto install for SUSE 10.3. But when I go to
the usvn page, it says that mod-rewrite is not started and I should
not attempt the install. rewrite is in /etc/sysconfig/apache2 in the
APACHE_MODULES line. And I restarted apache2.
The usvn site also says you need the mod_svn enabled. There is no svn
module. There are dav, and dav_svn.

Should I turn off subversion.conf and viewvc.conf also? I tried that.
No change.
So I am still stuck.

Thanks,
Jim

Probably shouldn't admit this but I try to avoid editing config files
manually unless it is absolutely necessary! I'd rather use Yast modules
when they are available. That way I'm less likely to really screw
something up if I have a case of 'brain fade'... So using Yast's 'http'
module (->Network Services->HTTP Server) make sure that 'dav' , 'dav_fs'
& 'rewrite' are 'ENABLED'. This will ensure that you have your apache
module config o.k. Next you want to go to Yast->System ->System Services
and check that 'svnserve' is ENABLED...

Now use your browser to start the 'USVN' install. Should work.

Why be ashamed of that. I do the same. Some things you change so seldom
I need to look it up each and every time if I would want to do it
myself.

Besides, the whole point of using a distro that's built on a platform of
automated management tools is to use that distro the way the designers
intended.

If you want to install everything from source, edit config files by hand,
and resolve dependencies manually, why not just use Slackware, which is
designed and intended to work that way? :-)

Well, actually, using yast2 to configure httpd really screwed things
up since it turned off modules like ssl that were already there.
But for sure, I know how to change the sysconfig/apache2 file and run
SuSEconfig to have those changes put into the /etc/apache config
files. But I did go into yast2 and carefully enabled the modules and
restarted apache2, and it still says mod_rewrite is not running.
Any other suggestions?

Ah!. The problem is that I accessed using http instead of https. As
soon as I used https, it worked.

Partly. It gives you an extremely good starting point.

DSL would be the correct choice. openSUSE is great if you want to edit
config files. They add a lot information in it, so you CAN do it by
hand.

I do have php5-pdo installed. Is that were the pdo mysql drivers are?

No. It is provided by php5-mysql.

So what happens when you start:

[url]http://localhost/usvn[/url] ?

Still the same warnings ?

Suspect you have still not got the modules loading.

post the results of loading the url above..

By now I'm not sure where you're at..

I am stuck at Step 5, the database installation. I checked the box to
create the database, and gave the root mysql password, and I get
Error: Can't create database
The mysql driver is not currently installed

Whoops. mysql is having problems. Now when I try to log into it, I
get:
jargw:/etc/init.d # mysql -u root -p
Enter password:
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket
'/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)
jargw:/etc/init.d # rcmysql status

What does this mean?

Well, this error is very common on the mysql forums. So I moved the
socket to /tmp in the server and client sections of my.cnf.
I can log into mysql as root (the system root using the mysql root
pwd).
jargw:/etc/init.d # mysql -u root -p
Enter password:
Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MySQL connection id is 2
Server version: 5.0.51a SUSE MySQL RPM

Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer.

But if I do it as myself, it still thinks the socket is in /var/lib/
mysql:
jar@jargw:~> mysql -u root -p
Enter password:
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket
'/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)

The socket is in /tmp:
ls -l /tmp/my*
srwxrwxrwx 1 mysql mysql 0 Apr 9 21:58 /tmp/mysql.sock

So something is still strange in the configuration

Well, I reinstalled SUSE 10.3 because it was mysteriously rebooting,
and was able to install usvn successfully. But how does it actually
work? I created the projects, but they are empty. How do I get data
into them, and how do I check in and check out files via the Web
interface. The usvn documentation is almost non-existent.

I do not have an existing subversion database, so I cannot use thier
import from subversion option.

Thanks,
Jim

I figured this out finally. For others that are stuck, here is what I
did:

Subversion issues
0) You must install subversion from subversion.tigris.org (or the
Linux rpms).

1) You must use a real ip address if anyone external needs to access
it. I got an alias from dyndns.org
[url]https://myip.dyndns.org/usvn/svn/project_name/trunk[/url] as the URL.
Of course, open the 443 port to this internal machine and put on some
type of authentication.

2) But this will not work until you manually accept the snake oil
https certificate. So do (at a command prompt)
svn list [url]https://myip.dyndns.org/usvn/svn/project_name/trunk[/url]
and accept the certificate permanently.

3) Then you can configure NetBeans to find it.
-> In options/miscellaneous/version control, give the path to the svn
directory. Restart Netbeans.
-> In Versioning/Checkout, you can insert the above URL, and then
check out your project. You can also import your project into the
database this way.

4) I initially loaded the database after having done 'su wwwrun'
because wwwrun owns the repository. That may be unnecessary if you
load it using a client via, say NetBeans.

Glad you figured it out. It seemed that you had a few configuration errors
as I have installed USVN without problems a few times now. Also good to
see you got it set up to work with NetBeans. Good work.
