First, I’m not subscribed to the list, so please CC me on replies. I’m trying to start a SVN server on Apache 2.2.26 on Mac OS X Server. I’ve compiled and installed mod_dav_svn and mod_authz_svn, and enabled auth_digest_module so I can use digest authentication. I added a user with htdigest and a repo with svnadmin, then tried to connect.
If I browse via a web browser, it authenticates and everything seems to work. But if I try to connect with a SVN client (I’ve tried several), it gives a 500 internal server error: Server sent unexpected return value (500 Internal Server Error) in response to OPTIONS request for 'https://u...@server.domain.com/svn/repo' Status : 175002 (Of course user, server.domain.com, and repo are placeholders.) The Apache logs give the following at the same time: [error] [client ::1] AuthUserFile not specified in the configuration Apache runs as _www:_www, and the directory containing the repository as well as the repos themselves are all _www:_www 755. The htdigest file is _www:_www 644. The realm for the user matches the httpd.conf AuthName. The password is correct. Both SVNParentPath and AuthUserFile are the correct paths. Here are relevant lines from httpd.conf: LoadModule auth_digest_module libexec/apache2/mod_auth_digest.so LoadModule dav_svn_module /usr/local/libexec/mod_dav_svn.so LoadModule authz_svn_module /usr/local/libexec/mod_authz_svn.so <Location /svn> DAV svn SVNParentPath /Library/Subversion/Repositories SVNListParentPath on AuthName "Subversion" AuthType Digest AuthDigestProvider file AuthUserFile /private/etc/svnauth.htdigest Require valid-user Allow from all </Location>
