Hosting multiple subdomains with a common SVNParentPath under apache
I have an apache server that has an alias of *.mydomain.com. What I want is to setup svn paths that switch to different repositories according to the subdomain. E.g. http://subdomain1.mydomain.com/svn -> /var/svn/subdomain1 http://subdomain2.mydomain.com/svn -> /var/svn/subdomain2 http://subdomain2.mydomain.com/svn -> /var/svn/subdomain3 I setup a repository that used the SVNParentPath directive, then had a bunch of mod_rewrite rules to do all the mapping. I almost got it working. It worked in a web browser and repo browser but I could not do a checkout. Any ideas for a different approach? Has anyone done this successfully? Daniel F Garcia
RE: Hosting multiple subdomains with a common SVNParentPath under apache
This is a good solution, but I have 2 additional requirements * I have >100 subdomains and I want to save time setting them up (ok, I could script this) * I need to be able to add subdomains without restarting apache The 2nd requirement is why I used the *.mydomain.com alias and used the SVNParentPath directive.

My apache server runs other things, and I'm worried I'll lose php session state in the restart. I'll test it and see what happens. Last night I had a go at modifying mod_dav_svn to do what I want, but my changes weren't working very well. Google code use a similar structure. For example the yii code is under http://yii.googlecode.com/svn. If I had to guess I'd say they are probably using a layer 4-7 switch or something. Daniel.
