apache config with svn

[allelopath]

I am trying to setup Subversion/Tortoise to get the repository for apache commons math.

http://commons.apache.org/math/cvs-usage.html specifies the repository as:

http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/commons/proper/math/trunk/

 

I have tested the Subversion works (by checking out from the svn repository).

 

I get this error when importing via the command line or Tortoise:

Error: PROPFIND request failed on '/viewvc/commons/proper/math/trunk'

Error: PROPFIND of '/viewvc/commons/proper/math/trunk': 302 Found (http://svn.apache.org)

 

Apparently, this is a 404 type error (page or file not found)

According to this:

http://ynniv.com/blog/2005/12/troubling-svn-error.html

I am to go to the apache subversion config, and add the statement: "ErrorDocument 404 default"

but I don't see an apache config file (e.g. httpd.conf), but then again I have not installed apache overtly (does it come with subversion? do I need to install it separately?). I wouldn't think I need to install apache since I am able to access the subversion source code repository

 

I see here:

http://sergiy.kyrylkov.name/blog/2005/07/propfind-302-found-error-in-subversion.html

which shows what you should change in a particular file, but it doesn't specify what file this is.

 

Is this really the problem?

If so, where is the config file?

If not, what is the problem?

It turns out the problem is on their end.

The right URL for anonymous access with a real subversion client like Tortoise is:

  http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf

 

In this huge repository, the [math] development branch is in the directory commons/proper/math/trunk

So you could use directly:

  http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/commons/proper/math/trunk
