For me I disabled VAS an it worked and then I got the VAS people to make some changes and it has been working fine since then. My theory is that VAS with https was doing something screwy to the url that was passed to mod_svn, causing it to crash...

I had the same issue, although, I have several options which are different: <Location /svn/myspace> DAV svn SVNPath /myhost/svn/repositories/myspace SVNPathAuthz on AuthzSVNAccessFile //myhost/svn/repositories/myspace/conf/authz Satisfy All AuthType Basic AuthName "Myspace repository" AuthDigestDomain /svn/myspace AuthUserFile //etc/opt/CollabNet_Subversion/conf/svn_auth_file #<LimitExcept GET PROPFIND OPTIONS REPORT> Require valid-user #</LimitExcept> </Location> The main difference is that the <LimitExcept ...> clause is commented out. The users will have to authenticate for all operations. As you can see, I use basic authentication, instead of VAS, which I am not familiar with. I hope this helps, John ________________________________ From: skrishnam...@bloomberg.com [mailto:skrishnam...@bloomberg.com] Sent: Monday, January 11, 2010 12:47 PM To: 'users@subversion.apache.org' Subject: Assertion failed:svn_path_is_canonical(path, pool) with https Hi, I configured apache 2.2 with mod_svn for subversion 1.6 and it worked fine with http and it worked fine. but with https, I get the below error.
