Re: Subversion+Apache mod_dav_svn/mod_authz_svn Issues

Greetings, NoahJ32!

I could undertand if you're using it to clone working system, may be this is
the real case, you just poorly worded it?

Apache, sure. SVN, to lesser extent. There have been issues fixed, regarding
charset inconsistency. Latest fixes, intended for transparent transition of
old repos, was made in 1.6.3.
I don't think any tools would be need an update between 1.5 and 1.6, unless
you're manipulating with repos structure directly on a filesystem level,
avoiding SVN API layer. From your words, that is not the case. Just give it a
try.
For whatever it matters, here's my Apache config that loading Subversion
module. You'll find it at the bottom of the message.

Well, I know, "it should work". But sometimes it doesn't.
Check what I pointed out.
If you have a way to see running process environment, make sure Apache have
the PATH set to what you though it is set.

Yeah, i'd like to know what was the culprit.

And please, don't top-post.
