I point my browser to http://hk.pimco.mobi/organic-asia/pc and it loads
fine. I ssh into the server and sudo bash. Here are the versions of
httpd.conf that are sitting in the /etc/apache2 directory:
*[root@pimco:/etc/apache2]: **Dir httpd.conf*
-rw-r--r--+ 1 root wheel 55592 Apr 23 08:25 httpd.conf
-r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 60360 Jul 21 2009 httpd.conf.default
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 55989 Jul 15 16:09 httpd.conf.subversion
[root@pimco:/etc/apache2]: mv httpd.conf httpd.conf.good
*
Here is a diff to show exaclty the changes that I have made to the
httpd.conf file to enable subversion processing:
*[root@pimco:/etc/apache2]: diff httpd.conf.good httpd.conf.subversion

[root@pimco:/etc/apache2]:
*These are the only changes I made to any apache configuration files to
enable subversion.
Here is what I did to make the 'subversion' version of httpd.conf the
active one:
*[root@pimco:/etc/apache2]: copy httpd.conf.subversion httpd.conf
[root@pimco:/etc/apache2]: apachectl restart*
*
*As of this point my browser can no longer access the web page that it
accessed at the start of this test; instead of giving me a web page it
gives me a blank page. I pointed my browser to http://hk.pimco.mobi/svn
and that also gives me just a blank page. View Page Source shows a total
blank file; not even any <http> tag. Indeed pointing the browser to
http://hk.pimco.mobi/foobar gives me the same result; not even a 404.
The last entry in /var/log/apache2/error_log reads:
*[Sun Jul 17 19:47:05 2011] [notice] caught SIGTERM, shutting down*
which comes from the "apachectl restart" command. No error log entry for
going to my web site no error log entry for going to /svn both of which
give me a blank page. Nothing in /var/log/apache2/access_log in that
time frame.
The command
* svnserve --version*
gives this reply:
* svnserve, version 1.6.5 (r38866)
compiled Oct 16 2009, 02:54:10*
The command
* svn --version*
gives this reply:
* svn, version 1.6.5 (r38866)
compiled Oct 16 2009, 02:54:10*
These are the timestamps on the mod_dav files:
*-rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 356432 Feb 11 2010 mod_dav.so
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 198160 Feb 11 2010 mod_dav_fs.so
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 429632 Oct 16 2009 mod_dav_svn.so*
I don't know how to get version numbers out of them.

SUBVERSION TAKE OVER THE ENTIRE APACHE SERVER????? Apparently so. Yet
the book makes no mention of this!
