Hi,

just for my understanding: The user "id123" and password "id123" belong to a registered subversion user and/or subversion uses the same authorisation like ChiliProject?

For me it looks like a bad/missing subversion user.

ciao,

Hi,

well, I didn't create any svn user manually, I assumed/hope that this would also be handled by chiliproject? (like in the apache solution?)
(I also could not find any reference to the fact you have to create svn users manually)
that would be a maintenance pain, and make chiliproject unusable

Hi,

it seems to be possible to use the Redmine authentication for Subversion, if Subversion runs as Apache service and is explicitely configured to ask the Redmine/ChiliProject database for user and password.

For a first search I found this and the guys seemed to got it working:

Hi,

ok, I switched from thin to apache2 for application server, and now indeed I can issue svn commands from remote machines,
but ... :( when I browse to a project, and click on repository, I get

404

The entry or revision was not found in the repository.

the log tells me it is a permissions issue

[Tue Oct 11 10:46:02 2011] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] File does not exist: /var/www/sys
[Tue Oct 11 10:47:02 2011] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] File does not exist: /var/www/sys
svn: Unable to open an ra_local session to URL
svn: Unable to open repository 'file:///opt/svn/test01'
svn: Can't open file '/opt/svn/test01/format': Permission denied

[Tue Oct 11 10:48:03 2011] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] File does not exist: /var/www/sys

but, nothing changed to the permissions on the filesystem

also, the cronjob for

cat /etc/cron.d/chiliproject 
* * * * * root /usr/local/bin/ruby /opt/chiliproject/extra/svn/reposman.rb --redmine-host localhost:8888 --scm Subversion --svn-dir /opt/svn --owner www-data --url file:///opt/svn --key=6BsV5h7Klu3h46xEMSik >> /var/log/reposman.log

now suddenly gives the error (in reposman.log) below, I've a feeling all these new issues are related to the fact that now that /sys/ cannot be found

Unable to connect to http://localhost:8888/sys/: Failed with 404 Not Found

these are the config files for apache :

#/etc/apache2/conf.d$ cat svn.config 
PerlLoadModule Apache2::Redmine

    DAV svn

there is a symbolic link from /var/www/chili to /opt/chiliproject/public

so... what am I missing? (or what should I also look at to troubleshoot?

Thanks

Ok,

I was able to resolve part of the problem :
- the problem not being able to browse the repo's through the webinterface : resolved

because all pointed to an access/permissions problem, amongst the dozens of config files checked, I checked also

/etc/apache2/mods-available/passenger.conf

as Passenger is used by Apach2 for ruby

the file automatically created after the install process (I mean installing, ruby, gems, apache2, subversion, ... etc and then "gem install passenger")

looks like this:

<IfModule mod_passenger.c>
  PassengerRoot /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/passenger-3.0.9
  PassengerRuby /usr/local/bin/ruby
</IfModule>

because apache2 also uses www-data to run (and thus access files)
after setting a default passenger user, which tells the application explicitly to use www-data, it seems to work

<IfModule mod_passenger.c>
  PassengerRoot /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/passenger-3.0.9
  PassengerRuby /usr/local/bin/ruby
*  PassengerDefaultUser www-data*
</IfModule>

so, I'm left with the issue of the reposman.rb not running correctly to automatically create repo's etc...

anyone idea's?

WB

• PassengerDefaultUser www-data*

because otherwise I didn't get it working

Case closed for now :)
