Okay, given this seems somewhat Debian-related (rather than subversion
only) I've added Debian-user to the cc list and also the
debian-admininstration lot in case they wish to use the info:
Kris, I've followed your example and
a) yes, dav_svn.conf is enabled
b) removed all Subversion-related CustomLog directives from
mods-available/dav_svn.conf
c) I've only the default virtual host:
michael_at_ratty:/etc/apache2$ ls sites-available/
default default~
so have editted that to include the line
CustomLog /var/log/apache2/subversion.log "%t %u %{SVN-ACTION}e"
env=SVN-ACTION
immediately after the line
CustomLog /var/log/apache2/access.log combined
in the (only) VirtualHost present in that file.
Then reloading apache2 and doing an 'svn export' (on another machine) I
do indeed get the required result:
michael_at_ratty:/var/log/apache2$ cat subversion.log
[17/Jan/2008:17:33:38 +0000] atmos_svn checkout-or-export '/'
Many thanks and I hope other Debian users find your help useful!
Michael
