I made the leap on Friday, pulling down 0.23 of Subversion, plus a fresh
Apache 2.0.46 and Berkeley 4.0.14. I built everything successfully on our
RH7.2 server, sucessfully installed Apache and Berkeley , and tested Apache
successfuly.
I then successfully created a repository via
svnadmin create /usr/local/svn/repos1
, and imported some code via
svn import file:///usr/local/svn/repos1 subversion
(I checked in the subversion code I had pulled down, just cause it was
handy).
And I can see it is ok
prompt>svnlook youngest /usr/local/svn/repos1
1
prompt>
and checkout via
prompt> svn checkout file:///usr/local/svn/repos1
...
<many lines of 'A repos1/...' follow>
...
prompt>
I then added
svn 3690/tcp # subversion server
svn 3690/udp # subversion server
to /etc/services, and started a subversion server with
prompt> svnserve -r /usr/local/svn/repos1 -d
prompt>
I can telnet to that port OK
prompt> telnet localhost svn
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhostEscape character is '^]'.
( 1 1 ( ANONYMOUS ) ( ) )
Connection closed by foreign host.
prompt>
And I can checkout the same repository via ra_svn
remote_host_prompt> svn checkout svn://svnhost
...
<many lines of 'A svnhost/...' follow>
...
remote_host_prompt>
But ra_dav is complaining, and I think it is because Apache is finding a
pre-BDB4
I made the change to httpd.conf as detailed in revision 5113 of the book.
<snip httpd.conf>
...
<Location /svn/repos1>
DAV svn
SVNPath /usr/local/svn/repos1
<Location>
<snip httpd.conf>
And everything below /usr/local/svn is owned by 'nobody' ( I haven't gotten
around to creating a 'svn' user yet - BTW, do I need to specify a home dir
and/or shell for that user ??)
prompt> which db_stat
/usr/bin/db_stat
prompt> db_stat -V

Sleepycat Software: Berkeley DB 4.0.14: (November 18, 2001)
I am using my new apache listening on port 18000 (this particular box also
has the Apache server that comes with Oracle running, and I dont want to
disturb it)
prompt> svn checkout http://localhost:18000/repos1/
svn: General filesystem error
svn: PROPFIND request failed on '/svn/repos1'
svn:
bad database version: got 2.4.14, should be at least 4.0.14
I found 2.4.14 in db.h in /usr/i386-glibc21-linux/..., and as you can see I
have found the DB3 ones in /usr/bin.
Now, am I right in assuming the --with-berkeley-db indicates the path to
sources? I did see one response on the dev mailing list about someone
setting this path to /usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.0/bin. Didn't work for me.
If I specify --with-berkeley-db=/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.0, ./configure
fails.
It also fails if I specify the path to the sources for DBD4.0.
If I copy the sources for DBD4.0 into the db directory of Subversion's
sources, and dont specify --with-berkeley-db, it find the default (probably
db2 or db3) and I get the above runtime failure.
If I specify --with-berkeley-db=./db, ./configure fails.
If I specify
--with-berkeley-db=/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.0/include:/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4
.0/lib, ./configure fails.
Looking in configure around the Berkeley detection code, I can see it trying
to pull db.h apart looking for various MAJOR-MINOR-PATCH numbers, and the
ones I require seem right. But what is it actually looking for with the db4
or db searches ? Which lib/include is it failing on??
I have also lookup references inread webdav-usage.html ( or rather, just the
server requirements section) , mod_dav doco from webdav.org, the article on
Oreilly/OnLamp by Raphael, without joy.
