 |
|
Hello,
I am able to launch Apache 2.2 for use with SVN on Windows 7 and all works as intended when I use this configuration in httpd.conf:
| Code: | # Configure Subversion repository
<Location /svn>
DAV svn
SVNParentPath F:/svn
</Location>
|
However, Apache won't start when I implement authentication:
| Code: | # Configure Subversion repository
<Location /svn>
DAV svn
SVNParentPath F:/svn
AuthName “Subversion repository”
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile F:/svn_conf/svnpsswd
Require valid-user
</Location>
|
I have included:
| Code: | LoadModule dav_svn_module modules/mod_dav_svn.so
LoadModule authz_svn_module modules/mod_authz_svn.so
|
and copied the associated files to the Apache modules directory.
I have also used htpasswd to generate F:/svn_conf/svnpsswd.
One problem I have is that when Apache doesn't start because of some error, there is no error code to use as a starting point. This makes it difficult for a novice like myself. Are there more descriptive error codes generated I am not aware of?
I have been searching for a solution for about week now and any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks![/code] |

There is, it just may be in the event log in Windows instead of Apache's error log cause the server fails before the log is opened.
But, this may be a simple one, look at
AuthName “Subversion repository”
Do not use those cutesy quotes in your config, anywhere. Just use the plain old boring ones
AuthName "Subversion repository" |

I have no idea how I put those fancy quotes there. I used Windows notepad to edit it. The 'no-frills' quotes work perfectly!
Great catch!
Thanks  |
