Hello,
I want viewvc to be able to look at my remote SVN repos. But I can't for
the life of my get it to work. The viewvc repository listing is simply
empty.

I Have the following:

/usr/local/viewvc-1.1.24/viewvc.conf contains
svn_roots = svnrepos:
http://subversion/svn/repos3/configuration/trunk/it/rancid/ch1

I'm on CentOS Linux release 7.2.1511 (Core)

/etc/httpd/conf.d/viewvc.conf contains: (Apache is 2.4 on CentOS 7)

<ifModule alias_module>
    ScriptAlias /rancid/ "/usr/local/viewvc-1.1.24/bin/cgi/"
</IfModule>

<Directory /usr/local/viewvc-1.1.24/bin>
    Require all granted
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
    Options All
    Options +ExecCGI
    AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
</Directory>

I am navigating to:

http://myserver/rancid/viewvc.cgi

I get a ViewVC page up and can see the "svnrepos" link, but when I click on
it I get

File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/libsvn/ra.py", line 533, in svn_ra_open
    return _ra.svn_ra_open(*args)
SubversionException: 170001 - Unable to connect to a repository at URL
'http://subversion/svn/repos3/configuration/trunk/it/rancid/ch1'
170001 - OPTIONS of
'http://subversion/svn/repos3/configuration/trunk/it/rancid/ch1':
authorization failed: Could not authenticate to server: rejected Basic
challenge (http://subversion)


...but I'm sure apache can run svn commands because if I change its shell
in /etc/passwd from /sbin/nologin to /bin/bash and try some svn commands
such as svn log
http://subversion/svn/repos3/configuration/trunk/it/rancid/ch1    it works
without requiring any credentials. This is because I copied the .subversion
directory from the "rancid" user, which is authorized to my svn. I changed
ownership of the entire .subversion heirarchy to the apache user.

Is there something I missed?

Thanks.
