Re: [viewvc-users] Viewvc Permission problem

Thanks for your reply; yes I have a two location blocks,
One in “dav_svn.conf” 

<Location /svn>
DAV svn
SVNParentPath /abc/svn
 SVNListParentPath On
AuthType Basic
  AuthName "Subversion Repository"
   AuthBasicProvider ldap
  AuthzLDAPAuthoritative on
  AuthLDAPBindDN "o=bindme"
  AuthLDAPURL  ldap://x.x.x.x:389/ STARTTLS
  AuthzSVNAccessFile /etc/apache2/acl
  Require valid-user
</Location>
 
In my http.conf
ScriptAlias /viewvc "/usr/lib/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/"
Alias /docroot  “/etc/viewvc/templates/docroot”
 <Location
/viewvc> 
  SVNParentPath
/abc/svn
 SVNListParentPath On
 AuthType Basic
  AuthName "Subversion Repository"
   AuthBasicProvider ldap
  AuthzLDAPAuthoritative on
  AuthLDAPBindDN "o=bindme"
  AuthLDAPURL  ldap://x.x.x.x:389/ STARTTLS
  AuthzSVNAccessFile /etc/apache2/acl
  Require valid-user
</Location>
 
I tried disabling the DAV svn in “dav_svn.conf” as suggested
but this did not help.

All I want to do is to view the root of my repository via https://www.test.com/viewvc and https://www.test.com/svn 
It work via https://www.test.com/svn  with my authz access rules but it does
not work via https://www.test.com/viewvc
 
What am I doing rough? Please help?

Your problem is not with ViewVC, and not with the configuration of your
authz access rules.

This error message is not generated by ViewVC -- it's generated by
Subversion's mod_dav_svn.  So it appears that you've somehow configured
Apache in such a way that Subversion proper is trying to field requests for
your "https://www.test.com/viewvc" URL.  Do you have a Location block for
ViewVC in your httpd.conf?

   <Location /viewvc>
      ...
   </Location>

If so, do you have the "DAV svn" directive in that block?  If so, you need
to remove it.  ViewVC and Subversion can't share a URL address space.
