VisualSVN Server Error in Event Log

Hi,

Can you help? I started getting the following error message in my Windows Server 2003 Event log after making a change to the
httpd.conf file (see attached):

Event Type: Error
Event Source: VisualSVN Server 2.1
Event Category: Apache
Event ID: 1001
Date: 8/29/2010
Time: 8:25:45 AM
User: N/A
Computer: JDQSERVERPW
Description:
File does not exist: E:/Program Files/VisualSVN Server/htdocs/login_up.php3
[client 216.108.232.56]

The error seems to occur each time a user access the SVN repository but users have not reported any problems. I got concerned when
our VisualSVN Server Event Log overflowed. The error reference to .. /VisualSVN Server/htdocs/login_up.php3 is odd. File
"login_up.php3" definitely does not exist in the folder. The question is "Why is it looking for it?"

I understand that changing the httpd.conf file is not recommended as it will be overwritten during an upgrade, however, I was
instructed to make the change by GeoTrust to support our SSL certificate for the URL that our SVN Server runs under.

The only httpd.conf modification was to change:

SSLCertificateFile certs/server.pem
SSLCertificateKeyFile certs/server.pem

to:

SSLCertificateFile certs/cert.pem
SSLCertificateKeyFile certs/server.key

The above was changed because I was unable to use the built-in VisualSVN Server Manager wizard for SSL certificates for a
certificate that was already purchased and used for our MS IIS websites using the same URL. As I understand it, a certificate
issued for Microsoft IIS combines the certificate data and the Private Key data in one file. The Apache httpd.conf is expecting two
separate files - a Certificate file and a Private Key file. The GEOTRUST article describing how to do move a certificate from IIS to
Apache is also attached for reference.

We are using the latest VisualSVN Server Manager, Version: 2.1.3 on Windows Server 2003 (with the Apache virtual server for SVN) and
Subversion 1.6.12
Server URL is https://www.jdqsystems.com:8443/svn/
https://www.jdqsystems.com is the SSL certified domain that is used by both Subversion and other internal websites the server hosts.

Thanks in advance.

Jon
