Re: 500 Internal Server Error: corrupted BDB

Well, it's an old 1.8, so no hyper-threading, fortunately or
unfortunately as the case may be ;) It seems like any sufficiently
massive dataset would do the trick. I don't think it's specific to my
data, in any case I've nuked the repository and tried it from scratch
a couple of times with the same result.
I wouldn't be using Fedora with an SMP kernel in any case, unless
they've fixed it.

1)
I'm using a basic parent-path setup with authentication, SSL ...
suppose I should also run a test without those variables in the mix.

<Location /source>
DAV svn
SVNParentPath /home/svnroot/
 
AuthName "source"
AuthType Basic

...
 
require valid-user
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Location>

2)
svnadmin create /home/svnroot/gcc
chown -R apache.apache /home/svnroot/gcc

3) I did an add/commit rather than an import because I was originally
working with an existing repository.

svn co https://anduril/source/gcc
mv gcc-3.2 gcc
cd gcc
svn add gcc-3.2
svn commit -m ''

I'm in the process of running a test with a simplified configuration:
just plain HTTP, no auth.
Thanks.

Cheers,

Matt
