G'day all, I'm going quickly insane attempting to set up a Subversion ("http://subversion.tigris.org") repository to be accessed through the Apache HTTPD over HTTPS and was hoping you lovely campers would be able to offer me some help... Here's the story (as I understand it): - I'm running Apache HTTPD 2.2.0 with the prefork MPM under FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE - I have to use a "<Location (...)>" directive to instruct the HTTPD to pass requests for "https://www.nickwithers.com/svn/ (...)" through mod_dav - Whilst I can get the thing to work without dramas over HTTP, the "<Location (...)>" directive appears to be silently ignored over HTTPS - Requests for "https://nickwithers.com/svn/downtime", for instance, produce the output "client denied by server configuration: /usr/local/www/data/svn" in the configured error log - I can access other data over HTTPS (i.e.: My SquirrelMail installation) Here's a (vaguely) sanitised version of my "httpd.conf": _____ ServerRoot "/usr/local" Listen 80 LoadModule authn_file_module
