With no previous experience with Subversion, I'm trying to set-up
a Subversion server on SuSE 8.2 and having a bit of trouble. I ran
these commands:
mkdir /usr/local/svn/repos
svnadmin create /usr/local/svn/repos
svn import file:///usr/local/svn/repos /XX XX
(Problem 1)
As I understand the directions, that should create a Subversion
repository in the directory /usr/local/svn/repos. It should then import
the directory tree at /XX and put it under a top-level repository entry
called XX. The commands are accepted, but the contents of /XX seem to
be directly under /usr/local/svn/repos; there is no extra layer visible.
Then trying to get Apache to see the repository, I've added this
stanza to httpd.conf:
<Location /svn/repos>
DAV svn
SVNPath /usr/local/svn/repos
SVNAutoversioning On
</Location>
(The machine is not on the Net. I'll worry about authentication later.)
(Problem 2)
Using a browser to access http://localhost/svn/repos/ returns a 404
page-not-found. I did restart Apache (version 2) and I am fairly sure
that all the required modules are present and loaded.
The system is a fairly stock SuSE 8.2, which comes loaded with these
software versions. I did change httpd.conf to load additional modules.
$ cat /etc/SuSE-release
SuSE Linux 8.2 (i586)
VERSION = 8.2
$ uname -a
Linux xx 2.4.20-4GB #1 Wed Aug 6 18:26:21 UTC 2003 i686 unknown
unknown GNU/Linux
$ svn --version
svn, version 0.17.1 (dev build)
compiled May 6 2003, 12:57:55
$ /usr/sbin/httpd2 -v
Server version: Apache/2.0.46
Server built: Jun 5 2003 08:10:41
I know these are not the latest for anything. Yet, reports are that
Subversion has been working for quite a while, so I'd like to see it
work before spending time upgrading (which I will do later). I suspect
that my troubles are not particularly version-dependent, but would be
appreciative of any contrary views.
So, what fundamental detail or details am I missing here? Anybody know?
