Re: A critical .htaccess problem

["Craig Huffstetler" <craig.huffstetler@xxxxxxxxx>]

Krist is correct - you need to make sure Subversion a Virtual Host. I'm including a few instructions as I'm sure you're all set on Subversion and Apache. If you're still having problems let us know.

Also, is port 443 open on your router and is Apache listening on this port? Ensure nothing is blocking the port. This is the common port for HTTPS.

1) Make sure make the repository directory is accessible to Apache. For example:
chown www-stuff:www-stuff /srv/svn/repos

2) Just create the repos and projects as normal from command-line or client interface (your usual method).

3) Use Virtual Hosts, as Krist indicated, for Apache.

4) If you are going to be using many projects change the SVN Path in your VHost file to the */repos directory instead of the project path. This will just make your life easier.

5) To create users to access your repository you can simply issue the command (to also just make life easier...). This is also where a valid user is needed: 
sudo htpasswd -c /etc/apache2/dav_svn.passwd username1
To add additional users:
sudo htpasswd -m /etc/apache2/dav_svn.passwd user2
etc.

I hope this helps.

Make your SVN config part of your https virtual host. That way svn
will not be accessible via http.
