Setting up a Subversion server using Apache 2

English Applications
1

I have installed openSuse 11.0 and I want to setting up a Subversion server using Apache 2. So I was following this howto:
Setting up a Subversion server using Apache2 - openSUSE
All steps work fine, but the first import fail:

ASIA:/home/adrian # svn import Temporal http://localhost/repos/Temporal -m "Initial import"
svn: Could not open the requested SVN filesystem

Note: I didn’t forget to create the project repository directory

ASIA:/home/adrian # svnadmin create /srv/svn/repos/Temporal

Also, I can’t open http://localhost/repos. I get:

<D:error>
<C:error/>
<m:human-readable errcode="2">
Could not open the requested SVN filesystem
</m:human-readable>
</D:error>

I can’t imagine what’s happen. I followed this procedure twice. In both opportunities, I got the same error.

Can somebody help me?
I’ll appreciate it.

What was your problem? I’m running Apache2 + Svn here, maybe I can help.

As you can see I can’t make the first import from the pointed out procedure:

ASIA:/home/adrian # svn import Temporal http://localhost/repos/Temporal -m "Initial import"
svn: Could not open the requested SVN filesystem

Thanks.

So how do you have Apache configured with Svn? Here, I have:
/etc/apache2/conf.d/subversion.conf which gets included in to Apache’s
configuration when the web server starts.

This file has a block defining the repository. You should have something
similar to this file there. What’s in it?

When you try this, does anything show up in your Apache access_log or
error_log files?

Thank you, David.
I just resolve my problem.
I think the ‘svn_passwdfile’ had something wrong. I created a new one, and now, subversion with apache works fine.
