Problem using mod_dav_svn (returns 500 on non-svn requests)
Hello, After upgrading to svn 1.7, I encounter some very annoying issues. I have a web server with the following configuration: hostname/ : standard website hostname/svn: subversion repositories (using dav_svn) hostname/projects: other website. Before the update, this configuration were working fine. But after the update, anytime the server receives a POST request (whatever the path is), the dav_svn module try to handle it, and when it failed (always when the path does not start with /svn/...), it returns a 500 error (without logging anything in the error.log, which is an other issue). FWIW, the error is created and returned by the get_resource() function, in mod_dav_svn/repos.c. Is there something I can do to workaround this issue ? Thanks -- Jean-Daniel
Re: Problem using mod_dav_svn (returns 500 on non-svn requests)
I found some details about this issue. When neither SVNPath, nor SVNParentPath are defined in a vhost, or alias, the mod_dav_svn prevents processing of all POST requests. So it is no longer possible to have mod_dav_svn loaded in an apache instance used to serve other content (as modules are globals).
