Re: mod_dav_svn: nested Location warning

[Chris Rodgers]

Hi Mark,

Thanks for getting back to me.

I added this to avoid a 404 error for https://myserver/repos/

The /srv/svn/html folder is completely empty.

Dear All,

I have just upgraded from Apache HTTPD 2.2 --> 2.4. My svn repository
seems to work fine over https but I get these repeated warnings:

[:warn] [pid 15721] mod_dav_svn: nested Location

'/repos/thereponame'

hinders access to '' in SVNPath Location '/repos/thereponame'

My httpd.conf file contains this:

<IfModule mod_dav_svn.c>

<IfModule mod_alias.c>
Alias /repos    /srv/svn/html

What have I done wrong?

What are you trying to achieve with your `/repos` alias?  Are you trying to 
server mulitple repos from that root but apply special handling to a specific 
path?  The location directive serves one specific repo without the need for the 
alias, I would guess you could just remove that (but I might be wrong!)
