RE: [viewvc-users] Configuring ViewVC in several Virtual Sites

I tried modifying the [vhosts] section for viewvc and have gotten a little
further in configuring this, now I am at least getting a repository not
found message. So, I think I am close.

If someone can take a look at how I have configured Apache and ViewVC and
let me know where I have made a mistake I would appreciate it.

In the Apache vhost config file I have:
<VirtualHost *:8010>
    ServerAdmin [email protected]
    DocumentRoot "C:\Program Files (x86)\CollabNet Subversion
Server/httpd/htdocs2"
    ServerAlias client1.tsdnet.local
    ErrorLog "logs/client1.tsdnet.local-error.log"
    CustomLog "logs/client1.tsdnet.local-access.log" common

  <Location /svn>
    DAV svn
    SVNParentPath "c:\svn_repos\client1"
    SVNListParentPath On
    Require valid-user
    AuthType SSPI
    SSPIAuth On
    SSPIAuthoritative On
    SSPIDomain tsdnet.local
    AuthName "Client1 repository"
    SSPIOfferBasic On
    AuthzSVNAccessFile "C:\Program Files (x86)\CollabNet Subversion
Server\httpd\auth\svnaccessfile.txt"
  </Location>

  <Location /viewvc>
    Require valid-user
    AuthType SSPI
    SSPIAuth On
    SSPIAuthoritative On
    SSPIDomain tsdnet.local
    #SSPIOfferBasic On
    AuthName "Client1 repository"
  </Location>
</VirtualHost> 

In the ViewVC config file I have:

[vhosts]
client1 = client1.tsdnet.local

[vhost-client1/general]
root_parents = c:\svn_repos\client1: svn

The response I receive with going to
http://client1.tsdnet.local:8010/viewvc/repo1/

An Exception Has Occurred

The root "repo1" is unknown. If you believe the value is correct, then
please double-check your configuration.

HTTP Response Status

404 Repository not found

Hey, Ron.  It's me again.  :-)  (No, I promise that I'm not hiding at every
possible Internet endpoint, waiting to ambush you.)

Over at open.collab.net, I just asked if you had given ViewVC's vhost
support a try.  Sounds like maybe you have not.

To use the ViewVC vhost support, you'll need to do a few things:

1.  Define the vhost names for each of your virtual servers:

    [vhosts]
    client1 = client1.mydomain.com
    client2 = client2.mydomain.com
    ...

    This creates the opportunity to do override ViewVC configuration values
    on a per-vhost basis.

2.  Start doing that overriding.  You do this by creating configuration
    sections named "vhost-VHOSTNAME/CONFIGSECTION".  So, for example, if you
    wanted to change the set of repositories available via each virtual
    host, you might do:

    [vhost-client1/general]
    root_parents = /path/to/Client_1 : svn

    [vhost-client2/general]
    root_parents = /path/to/Client_2 : svn

    Each of these tells ViewVC, "When serving up via vhost "client1" (for
    example), ignore the value of "root_parents" found under the [general]
    configuration section, and use the one from [vhost-client1/general]
    instead.  Any values you do not override in a per-vhost section are
    taken from the top-level configuration sections ([general], [options],
    etc.)
