Re: mod_dav_svn: nested Location warning

Dear Mark and Ryan,

Thank you for your comments.

I am trying to serve a number of repositories from one server via https
with different IP range restrictions applied to each. I do not want to
show the names of the repositories to clients requesting
https://server/repos/ .

I am getting warnings like this in my logs and wanted to know if they
matter.

> Location '/repos/thereponame'

In light of your helpful suggestions, I have removed all mentions of
"/repos" from the httpd config. I now have a set of blocks like this,
one per repository:

> <IfModule mod_dav_svn.c>
>
> <Location /repos/thereponame>
> DAV svn
> SVNPath /srv/svn/repos/thereponame
> SVNIndexXSLT "/repos-web/view/repos-thereponame.xsl"
>
> # Include per-directory access control policy
> AuthzSVNAccessFile /srv/svn/user_access/thereponame_authz
>
> # Require SSL connection for password protection.
> SSLRequireSSL
>
> AuthType Basic
> AuthName "Authorization Realm"
> AuthUserFile /srv/svn/user_access/thereponame_passwd
> Require valid-user
> </Location>
>
> </IfModule>

And I still get the warnings!

Is there something wrong with my config or should I simply ignore the
warnings...?

Best wishes,

Chris
