Unable to open the requested SVN filesystem

[Seducer]

Hello guys,

I am trying to configure subversion on a CentOS server which is running on Apache2 server.I have such type of statement in the httpd.conf files :

<Location /repos>
DAV svn
SVNPath /home/repos
</Location>

How,It would be solved at operating system level or any thing is needed upon the configuration of network.Please suggest me the proper solution for such type of problem.

You need to use the existing utility and provided way to manage this type of situation. Just create a new repository named as svnadmin under the following path :

/home/admin


And restarted the httpd daemon, The relevant utility /home/repos contains both the owner and group ownership,just configure it with the 'apache' and one more thing set the chmod with the following permission 777.Let's see what happened.

I have tried all these things that you have suggested but not getting any solution like that.In case,if is specify as file:///home/repos then it performing well but if I use this approach through the URL as following :

http://domain.com/repos

Then,it is generating such error -

svn: PROPFIND request failed on '/repos/repository'
svn: Could not open the requested SVN filesystem

Please try to solve this and have any more idea then let me know!!!

Hello buddy,

If you have done all these things then you need to check your all the configuration that you have configured for the server management. And you have created a new repository according to the suggestion of Big fish with as svnadmin under the /home/admin directory of the system. After creating the repository within [/home/admin ] path,you need to change the SVNPath parameter with the allocation of created directory and be sure you load the different modules required by the apache like mod_dav.so, mod_dav_svn.so, mod_authz_svn.so

Thanks & regards.

Just be sure about the configuration and activation of modules required for the Apache server.If the module has been loaded perfectly then there may be the possibility of errors from the justified statement.The include statement configured in the httpd.conf file which is being used to load the different modules. You can execute the following command to get the list of loaded modules.

httpd -M

This command would help you to get the list of loaded modules.
