F12/Subversion/httpd -- PROPFIND access denied

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



After upgrading to Fedora 12, I installed and tried to set up a Subversion repository with mixed success.  I have worked out the bulk of the issues but one still has me stumped.  Hopefully, someone on this list knows the answer or can point me to a URL that does.

The problem is that I cannot get Subversion to work with Apache 2.2.  Every time that I try to checkout the repository, I receive a 403 Forbidden Access error.  To make matters more frustrating, if I access the repository using local access (file:///...) the command works.  It is only when I try to use HTTP/WebDAV access (http://localhost/svn/...) does the access problem occur.

Things that I have tried:

- SELinux enabled and disabled -- no difference.

- Various permissions and ownerships.
  -- The repository and Subversion directories are currently owned by apache.apache.

- Various settings in my subversion.conf file for httpd. 
  -- When the <LimitExcept> section is commented out, the failure comes on the third
      "PROPFIND /svn/Home/sfbooks/trunk  HTTP/1.1" request.  The first two return 207
      while the third one returns 403.  Using Wireshark, all three requests are identical
      barring numbers in the IP headers.
  -- When the <LimitExcept> section is active, the failure comes on the very first request,
      "OPTIONS /svn/Home/sfbooks/trunk HTTP/1.1" request with a 403 response.
  -- Both 403 responses contain the same reason: "You don't have permission to access
      /svn/Home/sfbooks/trunk\n on this server."

Any suggestions will be appreciated.
