Re: [viewvc-users] Pulling My Hair... This Should Work...

Capt., I think the source of all your trouble is that you've configured
Apache's "/viewvc" <Location> to be a Subversion location.  All that
"DAV svn" and "SVNParentPath" stuff inside your <Location /viewvc>
block?  That stuff tells Apache to route all requests to that location
to Subversion's mod_dav_svn.  That means ViewVC is never even seeing
those requests, and consequently, stuff isn't working for you.

Keep your <Location /repos> block as it is, and either drop the
<Location /viewvc> block, or at least remove the Subversion directives
that are from Subversion.  Maybe pare it back to just enough to require
that your ViewVC users authenticate.  Something like this:

    <Location /viewvc>
        # how to authenticate a user
        AuthType Basic
        AuthName "Repository Authorization Required"       
        AuthUserFile /etc/apache2/dav_svn.passwd
        Require valid-user
    </Location>

I've gotten ViewVC to work in the past, on a different machine(s), but have yet to get it to work on this one. I attempted to keep the configurations almost identical - coming from a known working viewvc server, should prove something is wrong with this current server.
