Re: read-only repository view

[Eric Dalquist]

Thanks for the tip. I switched to this approach which gives us the 401 we want.

My guess is it doesn't like that you have the Require without Authentication configured. The way I usually do this is have the anonymous read / authenticated & authorized write construct (see manual), and give the HTTP host its own access file where you set * = r for [/], so authorization for write access will always fail.

R.

    We would like to have a version of our SVN repository available
    read-only over HTTP.

    I currently have it setup using:
    <Location /svn>
           DAV svn
           SVNPath /jasig/svn/jasig

    <LimitExcept GET PROPFIND OPTIONS REPORT>
               Require valid-user
    </LimitExcept>
    </Location>


    Which works but I get 500 errors instead of a 401 or 403 like I'd
    expect:

    commit -m "NOJIRA test"
    /home/edalquist/JavaClasses/workspace/PersonDirectory_trunk_RO/README.txt
       RA layer request failed
    svn: Commit failed (details follow):
    svn: Server sent unexpected return value (500 Internal Server
    Error) in response to MKACTIVITY request for
    '/svn/!svn/act/2348c9db-53b5-4d4b-852a-8cb5d0c4c071'


    Is there a better way to have a read-only view of a repository?
