Topic: SVN subversion on SME9?

[beast]

Hi

Anybody that have some experience with subversion installation on SME9?

Looks like http://wiki.contribs.org/Subversion is quite old now an out dated.

Just like any hint before I do my own testing with the installation from the following sources:

• http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Subversion
• https://subversion.apache.org/packages.html#centos

Never tested before you ask but

- you have a contrib for smeserver-git ( i do prefer git, it is more modern)
- you must change the path of perl files between sme7/8 and sme9
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/esmith/*  to /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl/esmith
- You may have some unitialized variables in

I sort of dislike Git and like to use a server/client model for my project with a small amount of deveopers working on seperate parts - the reason for the SVN request.

Stupid question - but where do I change the paths? In the RPM or after installation etc.

[stephdl]

After the installation IF the contrib uses it because old contrib used esmith-cgi in /etc/esmith/web/function therefore in this case you have nothing to do.

Sorry but i'm still in holydays i cant' verify it myself.

Maybe the better way to be sure is to open the rpm and look inside.

After that you should open a bug, ask to push it to sme9contribs and write there all you did to solve issues you found.

try this please

Code: [Select]

yum install http://mirror.de-labrusse.fr/Sme-Server/smeserver-subversion/smeserver-subversion-1.7-1.el6.sme.noarch.rpm --enablerepo=smecontribs
signal-event post-upgrade; signal-event reboot
it seems workable here, but I need your return please.

First impression looks good but I have the following problems!

Old version used (minor problem)

If I set some sort of authentification access I get a "Internal Server Error" page when I try to access the repository web page after the page have asked about my credentials. Also the same situation with TortoiseSVN.

Have only for now testet on a VirtualBox SME9 64bit server

Only happens when I select a user og group for read access - the rest of the setting do not seam to change anything.

can you catch something in logs ?
/var/log/httpd/admin_error_log
/var/log/httpd/error_log
/var/log/messages

[stephdl]

found the bug, new version is coming

[beast]

found the bug, new version is coming

Was just about to access the logs - really

[stephdl]

yum install http://mirror.de-labrusse.fr/Sme-Server/smeserver-subversion/smeserver-subversion-1.7-2.el6.sme.noarch.rpm --enablerepo=smecontribs
signal-event post-upgrade; signal-event reboot

now I can log to http with relevant credentials, as a side note I have not tested more, I don't know how work subversion, I do love Git

[beast]

Now it does not fail directly but I am unable to login with the right credentials??

[beast]

Seam as if it is not the correct credentials, but I have changed my test user to the same password a number of times now:

[stephdl]

You are in 64 bit or 32 bit ?

[stephdl]

What is the output

rpm -qa pwauth

[beast]

What is the output

rpm -qa pwauth

pwauth-2.3.10-5.el6.sme.x86_64

On 64bit

[stephdl]

Code: [Select]

yum install http://mirror.de-labrusse.fr/Sme-Server/smeserver-subversion/smeserver-subversion-1.7-3.el6.sme.noarch.rpm --enablerepo=smecontribs
signal-event post-upgrade; signal-event reboot

tested on a 64 bit, I have forgotten that the path to pwauth is different between sme8 and sme9, keep me in touch

[beast]

Seam to be working now

Will install it on my production server and start using it to see if other problems appear!

Thank you so much for the support. I will update the Wiki soon.

Found a small problem I think!

If I disable modDAVSVN I am unable to access the repository with https - think this is wrong if I have understood the concept correctly. E.g. modDAV is still enabled.

Am I correct in the assumption that modDAV is for http(s) and modDAVSVN is for the special protocol SVN?

[stephdl]

I don't know take a look to the http.conf (sort by the name of your repository) from what i recall you can't authenticate if you dont use https.

I'm at my day work i will look tonight

It just return an unknown page when I try to access the repo with https:

Not Found

The requested URL /blabla/ was not found on this server.

[stephdl]

it seems that it is a mandatory

    if ( $modDAVSVNStatus eq 'enabled' ) {

see  /etc/e-smith/templates/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf/VirtualHosts/28SubversionContent

Why then have the option?

[stephdl]

Maybe to stop the service of the contrib....but see the description of http://wiki.contribs.org/Subversion it just offers to  use http and https with subversion.

No more.

[stephdl]

If you can add to the contribs page some usages that could be nice

Sure, but have to work everything out myself first

[beast]

Now I have updated the Wiki as good as I can but have found a small error.

In the admin page there is a link that is not valid any more - need an update!

http://subversion.tigris.org to https://subversion.apache.org/

[stephdl]

upgrade and report please

[beast]

upgrade and report please

Works fine
