subversion + debian + dav + apache = 500 Internal Server Error

brgsousa · 10-06-2009, 10:09 AM

Hi,
I followed this tutorial http://www.debuntu.org/2006/05/20/54...pache2-and-dav
Instead of editing /etc/apache2/mods-available/dav_svn.conf, I used /etc/apache2/conf.d/subversion.conf that got like this:

Code:

<Location /dgti_desenvolvimento>
   DAV svn
   SVNPath /var/svn/dgti_desenvolvimento
   AuthType Basic
   AuthName "Repositório DGTI Desenvolvimento"
   AuthUserFile /etc/apache2/svn-passwords
   Require valid-user
</Location>

/var/svn/dgti_desenvolvimento repository is already created with all permissions to user www-data and the authentication is working fine.

When I try to get http://ip-address/dgti_desenvolvimento there is a 500 Internal Server Error.

What can be happenning?

regards

Is there anything related in the Apache logs?

Do you have

Code:

LoadModule dav_svn_module lib/httpd/modules/mod_dav_svn.so

(or similar) loaded in Apache configuration?

This mod was already enabled by a2enmod.
If I add this line

Code:

LoadModule dav_svn_module mods-available/mod_dav_svn.so

then restarting apache2 shows:

Code:

# apache2ctl restart
[Wed Oct 07 08:49:14 2009] [warn] module dav_svn_module is already loaded, skipping

/var/log/apache2/error.log shows several times the same text:

Code:

We trust you have received the usual lecture from the local System
Administrator. It usually boils down to these three things:

    #1) Respect the privacy of others.
    #2) Think before you type.
    #3) With great power comes great responsibility.

This is the text you normally see when you need to type your password for sudo - is it actually in the Apache log file? It's strange how it would get there...

I know it is from sudo.
I can asure you it is from /var/log/apache2/error.log

That's very bad -- it means a script is trying to invoke "sudo", but it cannot do that (sudo requires a TTY). You will need to track down which script thinks it can use "sudo" in the absence of a TTY (this was once true, but hasn't been true for several years).

yeah,I'll find it.

And SVN got it working by typing the AuthUserFile correctly :P
My bad.
