Subversion configuration

[liquorvicar]

I'm struggling to get svn configured on our Plesk server (7.5.4 on RHEL3). I've managed to get it installed and playing along with apache (if I comment out the ServerTokens directive I can see DAV and SVN in the response headers). I've moved on to configuring the vhost. I can access my repos from the commandline but I am struggling to access them remotely via SSL. Here's my vhost_ssl.conf

<Location /svn>
DAV svn
SVNParentPath /home/httpd/vhosts/domain.com/svn

AuthzSVNAccessFile /home/httpd/vhosts/domain.com/svnconf/access

# only authenticated users may access the repository
Require valid-user

AuthName "SVN"
AuthType Basic
AuthMySQLHost localhost
AuthMySQLDB db_name
AuthMySQLUserTable db_table
AuthMySQLUser db_user
AuthMySQLPassword passwd
AuthMySQLGroupField user_group
</Location>

When I try and checkout a repos I get
PROPFIND request failed on '/svn/repos'
PROPFIND of '/svn/repos': 405 Method Not Allowed (https://www.domain.com)

Has anyone got any ideas?

Sure, my notes on setting it up in plesk are here:

Hey Atomic,

Thanks for replying. I just managed to figure it out - I had changed the IP of the vhost but the DNS hadn't propagated so it was still trying to connect to the old IP.

All working now.

mod_auth_mysql

FWIW to get SVN working with mod_auth_mysql I had to recompile mod_auth_mysql. The RHEL3 rpm was compiled against an older version of libmysqlclient than PHP and this caused odd problems iwith some PHP scripts.
