POSSIBLE BUG: Could not open the requested SVN filesystem on Apache2+libapache2-svn using TortoiseSVN 1.6.10
Marc Würth - ORCA Services AG
Hi,
While setting up our new linux development server i noticed the following behaviour.
I'm not quite sure if it's even a bug but at least it's a behaviour you would not expect.
I set up this server using:
- Ubuntu 10.4
- Apache 2 Server version: Apache/2.2.14 (Ubuntu)
- libapache2-svn version: 16.6dfsg-
- subversion 16.6dfsg-
TEST 1:
- Copy existing, working repositories to the linux server
- Access them over http://devsrv1/svn/...
- WORKS
TEST 2:
- Create new repository with svnadmin create test
- Access this repo over http://devsrv1/svn/...
- WORKS
TEST 3:
- Create new folder using windows on Samba
- Create new repository using TortoiseSVN
- Access this repo over http://devsrv1/svn/...
- Error message: "Could not open the requested SVN filesystem"
What I found out so far is that the two newly created repositories (windows & linux) differ in only one file:
In the repository created by TortoiseSVN the rep-cache.db is missing.
Creation on Samba share, on Windows filesystem or Windows share has no impact.

looks like a library version mismatch between subversion on the server
and TSVN (assuming you created the repository in the same folder on
the server as the other repos)
>Creation on Samba share, on Windows filesystem or Windows share has no impact.
create then move to server?
that might be tricky because of line endings & endianness (not sure
though)

You're right on. Creating a repository this way is really not
recommended. You're supposed to create the repository on the system
where the Subversion server binaries are running. If you have to move
a repository use the dump/load cycle.
