Question

Set up my /etc/

Answer 1

I have this problem sovled just now . prep. I set up my /etc/apache2/http.conf

LoadModule dav_module         /usr/lib/apache2/mod_dav.so
LoadModule dav_svn_module     /usr/lib/apache2/mod_dav_svn.so
LoadModule authz_svn_module   /usr/lib/apache2/mod_authz_svn.so

It works for a period without 404 while I then try to browse to http://mydomain.com/svn/test_repo .But after I reboot my Linux, I get a 404 not found. Try to add the lines to /etc/apache2/conf.d.subversion.conf

LoadModule dav_module         /usr/lib/apache2/mod_dav.so
LoadModule dav_svn_module     /usr/lib/apache2/mod_dav_svn.so
LoadModule authz_svn_module   /usr/lib/apache2/mod_authz_svn.so

My SVN works well now! I wish these recommendations can help you.

add the reference to your vhost instead of dav_svn.conf:

 <Location /svn>
   DAV svn
   SVNPath /var/local/svn
   AuthType Basic
   AuthName "Subversion repository"
   AuthUserFile /etc/apache2/dav_svn.passwd
   <LimitExcept GET PROPFIND OPTIONS REPORT>
     Require valid-user
   </LimitExcept>
 </Location>

good tutorial is here: http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Subversion

don't forget to restart apache to apply changes:

 sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
