Hi Tena et al,
The problem is solved and was very closely related to your comments.
I searched out any httpd related files and renamed them to prevent
them being accessed. I then rebuilt Apache with the following:
./configure --enable-mods-shared="most dav ssl" --enable-suexec --
disable-status --disable-userdir --with-apr=/usr/local/apr --with-apr-
util=/usr/local/apr --prefix=/usr/local/apache2 --without-berkeley-db
I am using fsfs hence the --without-berkeley-db
I then rebuilt subversion with:
./configure --with-apr=/usr/local/apr --with-apr-util=/usr/local/apr
--with-apxs=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs --without-berkeley-db --with-
sqlite=/usr/local/sqlite --with-apache-libexecdir=/usr/local/apache2/
modules
Please note that I had already built apr, aprutil and sqlite from the
most recent project downloads and did not use subversion-deps.
Subversion then started working fine in terms of being viewable via
http.
I then did an upgrade via svnadmin and everything stopped working
When committing changes I got a SQLite error saying something along
the lines of (20014)Internal error: SQLite compiled for 3.6.19, but
running with 3.3.7. A bit of research showed this was down to Apache
using the SQllite libs associated with PHP so I had to recompile PHP
with a --without-sqlite option.
Commit then worked except that I was still seeing a checksum mismatch
error on certain larger binary files.
The whole point of this was to try and see if this problem (yet to
the subject of another post) would go away if I was using the latest
version of everything. Unfortunately not.
I then did a dump and load just in case. I had a minor issue with
permissions but simply solved by doing a chown to the Apache service
account on the repo.
So it is now working but I still have problems with checksum errors -
I think there is a post coming on that one!
Many thanks for your help on this one though!
