RE: SVN commit does nothing

I don't have any error or warning in httpd error_log.

We are currently using RHEL5.5, it's hard to understand why we are so late in upgrading software versions but I can't choose, I have to live with it. But now I understand that I should better try to use a global package including all I need instead of trying to assemble piece of software.

Do you know which version of svn should I use with httpd2.2?

Does the httpd error_log show a problem? It could be something simple like needing to increase apache's setting for LimitRequestBody. Or not.

Personally, I've gotten tired of fighting that kind of battle and would either switch to running svnserve so you don't have to deal with apache at all, or find a way to run a stock apache rpm and either the stock older subversion or a packaged newer one like wandisco's.
 Is there any chance of getting RHEL7 as your base system? That shouldn't be horribly outdated at this point. You didn't say what version you have, but mixing httpd 2.2 with new custom stuff seems like asking for trouble.
