SVN 1.7 SVNParentPath broken
Mario Brandt
the alphas before. With none of it I'm able to use SVNParentPath. I'm
getting
<m:human-readable errcode="2">
Could not open the requested SVN filesystem
</m:human-readable>
the same error if that wouldn't be a repo instead of showing the list of repos.
my config
<Location "/">
DAV svn
SVNParentPath "/opt/repos"
SVNListParentPath on
SVNPathAuthz on
#SVNIndexXSLT "/svnindex.xsl"
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Subversion Repository"
AuthUserFile /opt/repos/htpasswd
Require valid-user
</Location>

This is because the repository format changed slightly between the alpha
releases and the beta2 release. You will need to re-create the
repository.
I had the exact same problem, dump and load into a new repository worked
for me.

First of all, this only applies if Mario ran 'svnadmin upgrade' using
a 1.7-dev through 1.7.0-alpha3 client.
Second of all, don't you get the error documented in
<http://subversion.apache.org/docs/release-notes/1.7#revprop-packing> in
that case?

The issues are not the repos. I can access my 1.6.17 and older repos
without any issues.
The file system layout is
/opt/repos <--- ParentPath
/opt/repos/repo1
/opt/repos/repo2
/opt/repos/repo3
/opt/repos/repoN
As it was in SVN 1.6 SVNParentPath should show a list of the repos
1,2,3 to N [1]

Nope I don't get that error. This is might related to the mod_dav_svn.
I'm not sure. But at leat I can say that over apache (I don't use
svnserve) I never had an issue with the 1.6.x repos with the
mod_dav_svn 1.7.x apache module.

That was the case for me too - I had one repository which I created with
alpha2, and load from a dump file. It worked fine with alpha3, and then
I saw the error you have with beta2. At the same time, alpha2, alpha3,
and beta2 all worked happily with my other repositories, which had been
created by svn 1.6.x. I was not using SVNParentPath with these
repositories, so can't comment on that, but definitely could not access
my alpha2 created repository from beta2 using mod_dav_svn and apache.

That's expected. Did you get the error documented at
http://subversion.apache.org/docs/release-notes/1.7#revprop-packing
or some other error?
Stefan Sperling
Mario,
Did you check what your Apache server logs say when the problem happens?
You already quoted this error: "Could not open the requested SVN filesystem".
Is there any more information in the server logs that might shed some
light on it?
Without more information I would suppose that this is a problem in
your setup until we get confirmation of this problem from someone else.
Mario Brandt
of cause you can have the error log information. But I doubt it helps more.
http://pastebin.com/N2TKddyE <--- log from the alpha
http://pastebin.com/rvsq4hDM <--- log from current beta
As I told the module tries to open the parent path as a repo which it isn't.

What happens if you switch your <Location "/"> to something like
<Location "/svn">?
Mario Brandt

that did the trick. Than it works with SVNParentPath. I wonder why it
doesn't work like before with just / in the location container. :-/

Rob van Oostrum
Probably because you have a default site at / that takes precedence
when Apache parses its config.
Mario Brandt
thanks for your help.

Different to 1.6 with 1.7 I had to set the document root the same as
SVNParentPath. Now it works again with <Location "/">

It was not that error, but some other. There was some mention of XML in
the browser window. Sorry, I can't remeber more of it than that. I put
it down to an upgrade incompatibility from alpha[2|3] to beta2,
recreated the repo, and did not see the problem again.
I can try to reproduce it using my alpha3 build if you like...
Daniel Shahaf
If you have a beta1 or beta2 build, can you try:
* Creating a repository using <=1.6.x or >=beta1
* Making sure you can access that repository
* Either: rm -rf the repository, and recreate it using 1.7.0-alpha3
or: change '4' to '5' on the first line of $REPOS_DIR/db/format
* Trying to access the repository, reporting what error you get
Thanks!

Can definitely do that, for both 1.6.17, and 1.7.0 beta2

Tried to access the repository using mod_dav_svn 1.7.0 beta2
Saw this in the browser:
This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below.
<D:error><C:error/><m:human-readable errcode="160043">
Could not open the requested SVN filesystem
</m:human-readable></D:error>
I checked the ownership of the repository files, all owned by www-data
Other repo's in the tree can be accessed normally (1.6.17 and 1.7.0 beta2)

I checked the apache logs, and found this:
[Thu Jul 28 10:48:14 2011] [error] [client 172.16.2.39] (20014)Internal error: Found format '5', only created by unreleased dev builds; see http://subversion.apache.org/docs/release-notes/1.7#revprop-packing

I think this is what you were expecting.

Yes, it is, thanks. (mod_dav_svn sometimes logs more information than
it presents to the client.)
