How to access the subversion repository through WebDAV/DeltaV? - linux

Question

I installed and set up BitNami Redmine Stack and created the repository:
svnadmin create /var/svn/repository0/
I use basic authentication.
Part of httpd.conf:
<Location>
DAV svn
SVNParentPath /var/svn
AuthName "Subversion Repository"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /etc/svn-auth.passwd
Require valid-user
Satisfy Any
AuthzSVNAccessFile /var/svn/authz
</Location>
Part of svn-auth.passwd:
htpasswd -c -m /etc/svn-auth.htpasswd someuser
someuser:$apr1$bTN...
authz:
[/]
* = r
[repository0:/]
someuser = rw
When I go through this url: http://remote-linux-host:81/svn/repository0/ I get the following:
I enter my credentials and see:
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /svn/repository0/ on this server.
For this url http://remote-linux-host:81/svn/ I get:
<D:error><C:error/><m:human-readable errcode="2">
Could not open the requested SVN filesystem
</m:human-readable></D:error>
What I have in error.log:
...

[Wed Dec 12 15:16:46 2012] [error] [client ..ip...] Could not open the requested SVN filesystem [500, #2]
I made some small changes in the authz file:
[groups]
developers = someuser
[repository0:/]
#developers = rw
Now, when I go through this url again http://remote-linux-host:81/svn/repository0/ I get the following:
<D:error><C:error/><m:human-readable errcode="2">
Could not open the requested SVN filesystem
</m:human-readable></D:error>
What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

I gave read/write access for the user who runs the Apache and now everything is OK.
