Virtual Hosts setting up SVN help please

[web2works]

Hi, I have a Virtual machine at bytemark.co.uk with Debian Lenny and Apache2. I am trying to install SVN and have been following this guide:

http://wiki.slicehost.com/doku.php?i...and_subversion

The part where I get stuck is the virtual hosts. I have tried reading loads of guides/posts on this but everybody seems to do it a different way httpd.conf/apache2.cong/sites-enabled. Some say its an issue with DNS some say DNS doesn't matter its all on Pache side. I am just really confused.

 

Well I have installed SVN and http://example.com/websites as a quick fix inside dav_svn.conf file:

<Location /websites>
DAV svn
SVNPath /var/svn/websites

AuthType Basic
AuthName "Subversion Repository"
AuthUserFile /etc/apache2/dav_svn.passwd

# Required authentication
Require valid-user

# Require encryption
#SSLRequireSSL
</Location>

So I next I create a file in /etc/apache2/sites-available/svn.example.com

NameVirtualHost svn.web2works.vm.bytemark.co.uk:80
<VirtualHost svn.web2works.vm.bytemark.co.uk:80>
      ServerAdmin webmaster@web2works.vm.bytemark.co.uk

      #SSLEngine On
      #SSLCertificateFile /etc/apache2/ssl/apache.pem

      <Location /websites>
        DAV svn
        SVNPath /var/svn/websites

        AuthType Basic
        AuthName "Subversion Repository"
        AuthUserFile /etc/apache2/dav_svn.passwd

        # Required authentication
        Require valid-user

        # Require encryption
        #SSLRequireSSL

      </Location>
      ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error.log

      LogLevel warn

      CustomLog /var/log/apache2/access.log combined
      ServerSignature On

</VirtualHost>

$ sudo a2ensite svn.example.com

 

Can anybody shed any light on this? What am I missing? thanks very mcuh for any help people may be able to give.

Looks fine to me. I would however remove (comment out)  the NameVirtualHost line as it should already be defined somewhere amongst your configs, you might also change the VirtualHost directive to....

 

<VirtualHost *:80>

 

Where is this dav_svn.conf file you talk about firstly? You don't need it.

Funny thing, I wrote a tutorial about this not too long ago for Debian, perhaps it will help you?

 

Setup SVN with SSL on Debian with Apache2

 

The problem could lay in the vhosts file and not having more information, such as servername inside of it. But using that you should not mess wit hthe dav_svn.conf.

 

@thorpe, the dav_svn.conf is located under /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/dav_svn.conf, everything in that file should be commented out, as the directive in the vhosts file is enough.
