Thanks for coming back to the list with your solution.
It sounds a bit strange that Apache httpd wouldn't be able to proxy IPv6
traffic. Have you checked the Listen directives in your httpd config? Maybe
it is only listening on IPv4 ports (check with lsof -i)?
Kind regards,
Daniel

Re: Subversion behind apache 2.4 proxy - Connection refused
Hi!
Thanks for your reply. Just hearing that my setup looks OK made me look
deeper, with Wireshark. Found that svn was using IPV6 but firefox used
IPV4. Apparently the proxy can't handle IPV6 so I am now using a
hostname wihout any IPV6 address in /etc/hosts and everything works fine.
Thanks again,
Gunnar

Hi!
I have subversion running in a Docker container and everything
works fine if I connect directly to it, but I really need to run
subversion behind an Apache 2.4 proxy. For now I'm not using
https, just trying to get it to work with as simple setup as possible.
I have tried to use the FAQ instructions,
https://subversion.apache.org/faq.html#reverseproxy, but they are
written for an older Apache version so I have tried to modify them
for 2.4.
Browsing the repos with Firefox works fine but it fails with the
svn client and SmartSVN:
svn info http://localhost/svn/test/svn-test-project
svn: E170013: Unable to connect to a repository at URL
'http://localhost/svn/test/svn-test-project'
svn: E000111: Error running context: Connection refused
It sounds really strange that browsing with Firefox would work but not
the svn command line client. The error is exactly the one to be
expected if there is no server running at all (or possibly if there is
a firewall or security policy disabling network access for the svn
program).
If you try to access http://localhost/svn/test/svn-test-project with
curl or wget? The same question for http://localhost:7280/svn/
I assume svn info http://localhost:7280/svn/test/svn-test-project
works as expected?
This is my proxy configuration:
ProxyRequests Off
ProxyVia on
Require all granted
ProxyPass /svn/ http://localhost:7280/svn/
ProxyPassReverse http://localhost:7280/svn/
Require all granted
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Destination } .+/(svn/.*$)
RewriteRule ^/svn/.* -
[E=MyDestination:http://localhost:7280/%1,PT]
RequestHeader set Destination %{MyDestination}e
env=MyDestination
When I use the browser all accesses are logged but with the svn
client nothing is logged to the access- or error logs, even with
log level debug.
Hope someone can see what is wrong with my configuration.
On a cursory look all seems fine, but I didn't try to replicate your
setup yet.
TIA,
Gunnar
Kind regards,
