Subject: Problems with DavLockDB - file not found

Hi,

We have upgraded our Subversion installation with Apache 2.2.3on our RedHat 6.3 and uses this for a maven-sites DAV location like this :

DavLockDB /tmp/davlockdb

Dav On

AuthType Basic

AuthName "Maven sites"

AuthUserFile /home/csvn/mavensiteusers

require valid-user

</LimitExcept>

</Location>

I have ensured that the davlockdb file is owned by User and Group running the Apache server, and access bits are ok, however when trying to publish to /maven-sites we get an error in the apache logs :

[Wed May 29 16:14:01 2013] [error] [client 153.110.147.25] The locks could not be queried for verification against a possible "If:" header. [500, #0]

[Wed May 29 16:14:01 2013] [error] [client 153.110.147.25] (2)No such file or directory: Item not found [500, #15]

The strange thing here is that we have stopped Apache, removed the davlockdb file, restarted and verifies that the file is created :

[root@edbdvap02 conf]# ls -l /tmp/davlockdb

-rwxr-xr-x 1 csvn csvn 12288 May 29 14:55 /tmp/davlockdb

So how come we get the “No such file or directory” when the lock is being used, when apache manages to create the file ok? Beats me!

Any ideas are most welcome,we have googled a lot but all similar errors seems to be resolved by permission issues in one way or another, but don’t see how this is related here, although the error in the log seems very clear……
