That ticket isn't really the same issue as yours. In that ticket, / opt/apache2/bin/apxs did not exist, therefore it failed. In your case, however, /opt/apache2/bin/apxs does seem to exist, yet some error is still encountered.


Comment(by dl...@…):

You are building with +mac_os_x_server_mod_dav_svn
That variant is unsupported.

I recommend cleaning subversion and building again without
+mac_os_x_server_mod_dav_svn:

port clean --all subversion
port -dv install subversion


I tried and got it to build.

If '+mac_os_x_server_mod_dav_svn' variant is unsupported, why does it show up when you do a $ port info subversion

[2009.28.03](01:08PM) -> [roscoe] ~ $ port info subversion
subversion @1.6.0, Revision 1 (devel)
Variants: bash_completion, darwin_7, disable_keychain, mac_os_x_server_mod_dav_svn, mod_dav_svn, no_bdb,
           no_neon, tools, unicode_path

The variant presumably exists (and therefore shows up in port info and port variants) because at some point somebody requested it.

It's presumably unsupported because to support it would require access to Mac OS X Server, which is an expensive piece of software I would guess most port maintainers do not have.


Also, if you are installing on an 'OS X Server 10.4', don't you need '+mac_os_x_server_mod_dav_svn' for WebDav to work ?

You do need the Apache 2 web server and the mod_dav_svn module to serve a repository via http/WebDAV. But it does not need to be Apple's Apache 2 included with Mac OS X Server. It could instead be the MacPorts apache2 port, which ought to work on Mac OS X Server just as well as it does on Mac OS X (client). However, you would then have an apache2 that is separate from and not configurable by the Mac OS X Server Admin tools.


I installed MacPorts subversion on the 'OS X Server 10.4', as recommended :

From my workstation, I just tried creating a new repository on the server at 'https://www.example.com:8443/svn/repository' and keep getting
and get the following error :

Description : Repository moved permanently to 'https://www.deep- blue-sky.com:8443/projects/'; please relocate

Ok, what's the relevant section of your httpd.conf say?
