After upgrading to Fedora 12, I installed and tried to set up a
Subversion repository with mixed success. I have worked out the bulk of
the issues but one still has me stumped. Hopefully, someone on this
list knows the answer or can point me to a URL that does.
The problem is that I cannot get Subversion to work with Apache 2.2.
Every time that I try to checkout the repository, I receive a 403
Forbidden Access error. To make matters more frustrating, if I access
the repository using local access (file:///...) the command works. It
is only when I try to use HTTP/WebDAV access (http://localhost/svn/...)
does the access problem occur.
Things that I have tried:
- SELinux enabled and disabled -- no difference.
- Various permissions and ownerships.
-- The repository and Subversion directories are currently owned by
apache.apache.
- Various settings in my subversion.conf file for httpd.
-- When the <LimitExcept> section is commented out, the failure comes
on the third
"PROPFIND /svn/Home/sfbooks/trunk HTTP/1.1" request. The first
two return 207
while the third one returns 403. Using Wireshark, all three
requests are identical
barring numbers in the IP headers.
-- When the <LimitExcept> section is active, the failure comes on the
very first request,
"OPTIONS /svn/Home/sfbooks/trunk HTTP/1.1" request with a 403
response.
-- Both 403 responses contain the same reason: "You don't have
permission to access
/svn/Home/sfbooks/trunk\n on this server."
Any suggestions will be appreciated.
