RE: Problem installing Subversion 1.5.4

Jack,
 
Thanks for getting back to me. I wanted to test Subversion before
getting connected to our real production server. Since that ended up
going nowhere, I've gotten a production Subversion account and I'm
working with users in an adjacent department. All the same, I'd like to
know more about how to set up a server and get it going, so this request
continues to be relevant.
 
In the end, I think the Subversion Web site will be the greatest
beneficiary of this exchange, since the install instructions seem to
need a bit of updating/reconciling.

Don,

Unfortunately, this list (feedback_at_tigris.org) can't help you here. Each
of the projects on Tigris maintains its own help and developers lists.
I've looked over your messages, and it appears to me that the most
appropriate place to ask these questions would be
users_at_subversion.tigris.org. I'll forward your messages there; hopefully
someone will be able to help.

I apologize, as well, for taking so long to forward -- been away for the
holidays!

        As you probably anticipated by my notes so far, I tried testing
the resulting configuration, and got this message:

                C:\Program Files\Apache Software

Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/conf/httpd.conf: Cannot load
C:/Program Files/Apache Software
Foundation/Apache2.2/modules/mod_dav_svn.so into server: The specified
procedure could not be found.

        I see the files there (and they weren't there before I put them
there). Is there something else I'm missing, or something you haven't
told me? I've used several different readme files - one that seems most
informative is
http://tortoisesvn.net/docs/nightly/TortoiseSVN_en/tsvn-serversetup.html
#tsvn-serversetup-apache-3,
        where I see the info:
         
        

                Edit Apache's configuration file (usually C:\Program
Files\Apache Group\Apache2\conf\httpd.conf) with a text editor such as
Notepad and make the following changes:

                Uncomment (remove the '#' mark) the following lines:

                #LoadModule dav_fs_module modules/mod_dav_fs.so
                #LoadModule dav_module modules/mod_dav.so
                

                Add the following two lines to the end of the LoadModule
section.

                LoadModule dav_svn_module modules/mod_dav_svn.so
                LoadModule authz_svn_module modules/mod_authz_svn.so
                

        That last bit about adding two lines at end of LoadModule is
where the server test is failing.

        Ok, after I sent that last message, I found this tidbit:
         

                D. Installing from a Zip or Installer File under
Windows
        
--------------------------------------------------------
                
                      Of all the ways of getting a Subversion client,
this is the
                      easiest. Download a Zip (*.zip) or
self-extracting installer
                      (*-setup.exe) file from:
                
        
http://subversion.tigris.org/servlets/ProjectDocumentList?folderID=91
                
        
<http://subversion.tigris.org/servlets/ProjectDocumentList?folderID=91>
        When I went to that page, found an installer with the warning:

                Windows binaries - ATTENTION!: The mod_dav_svn binaries
available
                here are NOT compatible with Apache 2.2 --
                see the Windows Apache 2.2.x folder.

         
        Then, a little further down, I found this line. Version 1.5.3
instead of 1.5.4, but an installer seems to be present. I will test it
and let you know if there are further problems.

        In Chapter 3 of the subversion guide which describes installing
the Subversion server to run under Apache(
http://tortoisesvn.net/docs/nightly/TortoiseSVN_en/tsvn-serversetup.html
#tsvn-serversetup-apache-3 ),
        I see the instructions below, under "Installing Subversion". I
have downloaded the Win32 binaries for Apache and unzippped them,
however I see no installer, only binary files and other support files. I
tried installing VisualSVN-Server, as that was suggested as an
alternative (to what?), but the pathname made now sense in the context
given below, and I couldn't see that "the Subversion installer
recognized that you've installed Apache" as described below, so I
switched that server off.
         
        I am not as experienced with Windows operation as I am with
Unix/Linux and MacOS X, so I may be missing something. Was this file
http://subversion.tigris.org/files/documents/15/44095/svn-win32-1.5.4.zi
p (linked from
http://subversion.tigris.org/servlets/ProjectDocumentList?folderID=8100
) the one I was supposed to find the installer in, or is it somewhere
else?
         
        Thanks in advance

        Installing Subversion

        1. Download the latest version of the Subversion Win32
binaries for Apache. Be sure to get the right version to integrate with
your version of Apache, otherwise you will get an obscure error message
when you try to restart. If you have Apache 2.2.x go to
http://subversion.tigris.org/servlets/ProjectDocumentList?folderID=8100
<http://subversion.tigris.org/servlets/ProjectDocumentList?folderID=8100
> .

        2. Run the Subversion installer and follow the
instructions. If the Subversion installer recognized that you've
installed Apache, then you're almost done. If it couldn't find an Apache
server then you have to do some additional steps.

        3. Using the windows explorer, go to the installation
directory of Subversion (usually c:\program files\Subversion) and find
the files /httpd/mod_dav_svn.so and mod_authz_svn.so. Copy these files
to the Apache modules directory (usually c:\program files\apache
group\apache2\modules ).
