Hi!

I'm trying to install SVN on a latest version of CentOS (5.3). I just did:

yum install subversion yum install mod_dav_svn

Then i edited /etc/httpd/conf.d/subversion.conf

and here is the content:

<Location /svn> DAV svn SVNParentPath /var/www/svn

# Limit write permission to list of valid users.
<LimitExcept GET PROPFIND OPTIONS REPORT>
   # Require SSL connection for password protection.
   # SSLRequireSSL

   AuthType Basic
   AuthName "SVN 1"
   AuthUserFile /etc/svn/svn-auth-conf
   Require valid-user
</LimitExcept>

</Location>

After, i did:

mkdir -p //var/www/svn/applitv svnadmin create /var/www/svn/applitv svn mkdir file://localhost/var/www/svn/applitv/trunk -m "create" svn mkdir file://localhost/var/www/svn/applitv/branches -m "create" svn mkdir file://localhost/var/www/svn/applitv/tags -m "create" chown -R apache:apache /var/www/svn

Finally, i created the AUTH file:

htpasswd -cm /etc/svn/svn-auth-conf user1 htpasswd -m /etc/svn/svn-auth-conf user2

I use the following URL to connect to the server:

http://10.0.4.32/svn/applitv

And i receive the following response:

This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below.

− <D:error> <C:error/> <m:human-readable errcode="13"> Could not open the requested SVN filesystem </m:human-readable> </D:error>

In the log /etc/httpd/conf.d/subversion.conf, i have:

[Sun Oct 11 15:48:39 2009] [error] [client 10.0.2.98] (20014)Internal error: Can't open file '/var/www/svn/applitv/format': Permission denied [Sun Oct 11 15:48:39 2009] [error] [client 10.0.2.98] Could not fetch resource information.

What i find very strange is this:

[root@svn mnt]# ll /var/www/svn/applitv/format -r--r--r-- 1 apache apache 2 Oct 11 11:40 /var/www/svn/applitv/format

The "format" file (which contains the value "5") is readable.

I searched a lot on Google but i still can't figure out what's going on. Any help would be appreciated!

MISC INFOS:
