Re: PROPFIND of /svn: 500 Internal Server Error

From: Gregois <gergle_at_optusnet.com.au>

Yes. Repository is /usr/local/src Odd it may be, but the location is
essentially arbitrary
and this directory is unused for anything else at present. It will be moved
elsewhere when
the setup is working.

Does httpd run as apache?

$ ps -ef | grep httpd

root 16214 1 0 Jan17 ? 00:00:04
/usr/local/apache2/bin/httpd -k start

I take it the first line is reporting that the process started up as root
and then switched to
User apache. Is this the correct interpretation?

What happens if I recover the repository?

# svnadmin recover /usr/local/src
Please wait; recovering the repository may take some time...

Recovery completed.
The latest repos revision is 1.

OK, so now reset permissions on repository filesystem:

chown -R apache /usr/local/src

Is this approach wise? Is it OK to give apache ownership of *everything* in
here?
Are there some files that should retain root ownership for security reasons?

And restart webserver:

/usr/local/apache2/bin/apachectl start

Now I can browse Revsision 1 as imported by the file:// protocol
described yesterday at URL: http://my.web.address/svn/ *and*
it reports "Revision 1" as the title in the HTML rather than
500 Internal Server Error, which seems positive.

So, can I break this at will by repeating my earlier steps?

Attempting import using TortoiseSVN via network produces
same PROPFIND error, with no entries in apache error_log,
so i suspect the answer will be yes. And indeed, it is.

In the meantime, I have discovered:

$ rpm -qil db4

which you suggest may have problems. I downloaded 4.2.52-2 rpms but have
not installed these as yet.

If I force the install of this rpm will the dependent packages still
function?

Is this an apache configuration problem?

Not that I can see, but check for yourself:

# Example:
# LoadModule foo_module modules/mod_foo.so

### Section 2: 'Main' server configuration
#
# The directives in this section set up the values used by the 'main'

# Note 1: The suffix does not have to be the same as the language

#
# Note 2: The example entries below illustrate that in some cases
# the two character 'Language' abbreviation is not identical to
# the two character 'Country' code for its country,
# E.g. 'Danmark/dk' versus 'Danish/da'.
#
# Note 3: In the case of 'ltz' we violate the RFC by using a three char
# specifier. There is 'work in progress' to fix this and get

# Specify a default charset for all pages sent out. This is

# AddType allows you to add to or override the MIME configuration
# file mime.types for specific file types.
#
#AddType application/x-tar .tgz
#
# AddEncoding allows you to have certain browsers uncompress
# information on the fly. Note: Not all browsers support this.
# Despite the name similarity, the following Add* directives have nothing
# to do with the FancyIndexing customization directives above.
#
#AddEncoding x-compress .Z
#AddEncoding x-gzip .gz .tgz
#
# If the AddEncoding directives above are commented-out, then you
# probably should define those extensions to indicate media types:
#
AddType application/x-compress .Z
AddType application/x-gzip .gz .tgz

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

#
# AddHandler allows you to map certain file extensions to "handlers":
# actions unrelated to filetype. These can be either built into the server
# or added with the Action directive (see below)
#
# To use CGI scripts outside of ScriptAliased directories:
# (You will also need to add "ExecCGI" to the "Options" directive.)
#
#AddHandler cgi-script .cgi

#
# For files that include their own HTTP headers:
#
#AddHandler send-as-is asis

#
# For server-parsed imagemap files:
#
#AddHandler imap-file map

#
# For type maps (negotiated resources):
# (This is enabled by default to allow the Apache "It Worked" page
# to be distributed in multiple languages.)
#
AddHandler type-map var

#
# Filters allow you to process content before it is sent to the client.
#
# To parse .shtml files for server-side includes (SSI):
# (You will also need to add "Includes" to the "Options" directive.)
#
#AddType text/html .shtml
#AddOutputFilter INCLUDES .shtml

#
# Action lets you define media types that will execute a script whenever
# a matching file is called. This eliminates the need for repeated URL
# pathnames for oft-used CGI file processors.
# Format: Action media/type /cgi-script/location
# Format: Action handler-name /cgi-script/location
#

#
# Customizable error responses come in three flavors:
# 1) plain text 2) local redirects 3) external redirects
#
# Some examples:
#ErrorDocument 500 "The server made a boo boo."
#ErrorDocument 404 /missing.html
#ErrorDocument 404 "/cgi-bin/missing_handler.pl"
#ErrorDocument 402 http://www.example.com/subscription_info.html
#

#
# Putting this all together, we can internationalize error responses.
#
# We use Alias to redirect any /error/HTTP_<error>.html.var response to
# our collection of by-error message multi-language collections. We use
# includes to substitute the appropriate text.
#
# You can modify the messages' appearance without changing any of the
# default HTTP_<error>.html.var files by adding the line:
#
# Alias /error/include/ "/your/include/path/"
#
# which allows you to create your own set of files by starting with the
# /usr/local/apache2/error/include/ files and copying them to
/your/include/path/,
# even on a per-VirtualHost basis. The default include files will display
# your Apache version number and your ServerAdmin email address regardless
# of the setting of ServerSignature.
#
# The internationalized error documents require mod_alias, mod_include
# and mod_negotiation. To activate them, uncomment the following 30 lines.

# Alias /error/ "/usr/local/apache2/error/"
#
# <Directory "/usr/local/apache2/error">
# AllowOverride None
# Options IncludesNoExec
# AddOutputFilter Includes html
# AddHandler type-map var
# Order allow,deny
# Allow from all
# LanguagePriority en cs de es fr it nl sv pt-br ro
# ForceLanguagePriority Prefer Fallback
# </Directory>
#
# ErrorDocument 400 /error/HTTP_BAD_REQUEST.html.var
# ErrorDocument 401 /error/HTTP_UNAUTHORIZED.html.var
# ErrorDocument 403 /error/HTTP_FORBIDDEN.html.var
# ErrorDocument 404 /error/HTTP_NOT_FOUND.html.var
# ErrorDocument 405 /error/HTTP_METHOD_NOT_ALLOWED.html.var

# The following directive disables redirects on non-GET requests for
# a directory that does not include the trailing slash. This fixes a

# Same deal with Apple's DAV filesystem and Gnome VFS support for DAV.

# Order deny,allow
# Deny from all

### Section 3: Virtual Hosts
#
# VirtualHost: If you want to maintain multiple domains/hostnames on your
# machine you can setup VirtualHost containers for them. Most configurations
# use only name-based virtual hosts so the server doesn't need to worry
about
# IP addresses. This is indicated by the asterisks in the directives below.
#
# Please see the documentation at
# <URL:http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/vhosts/>
# for further details before you try to setup virtual hosts.
#
# You may use the command line option '-S' to verify your virtual host
# configuration.

#
# Use name-based virtual hosting.
#
#NameVirtualHost *:80

#
# VirtualHost example:
# Almost any Apache directive may go into a VirtualHost container.
# The first VirtualHost section is used for requests without a known
# server name.
#
#<VirtualHost *:80>
# ServerAdmin webmaster@dummy-host.example.com
# DocumentRoot /www/docs/dummy-host.example.com
# ServerName dummy-host.example.com
# ErrorLog logs/dummy-host.example.com-error_log
# CustomLog logs/dummy-host.example.com-access_log common
#</VirtualHost>
