Apache 2.2.0 and Subversion 1.4 (was 1.3)

I use Apache with Subversion-Integration on Windows over one year. I never had any problem if I updated one of them. But now with this updates I get the following error:

This is probably old news, but I had the same problem using Apache 2.2 and SubVersion 1.3 on Windows Server 2000.

Installed Apache 2.0, and all works.

I am also having the same problem...

I am trying to configure subversion on Apache2.2 but was getting message: "mod_dav_svn.so is garbled -perhaps this is not an Apache module DSO"

any luck on this?

Thanks,
Krishna

The mod_dav_svn.so provided with the Windows binaries works only with Apache 2.0, not 2.2

Does anybody have compiled mod_dav_svn.so to work with Apache 2.2?
Could she/he provide the binary?

I have a similar problem. I use apache2-2.0.49-27 and subversion-1.3.0-1
with suse sles9, but it doesn't works:

API module structure `dav_svn_module' in file /usr/lib/apache2/mod_dav_svn.so is garbled - perhaps this is not an Apache module DSO?

I really don't want to compile from source anything, just use rpm-s, if it is possible...

Yesterday the new Subversion 1.4 was released and also the binaries. Has anyone tried out, if it is now compatible with Apache 2.2?

I just installed the new (1.4.0) version and i get the same problem Sad

Running Apache 2.2.3, going back to Apache 2.0 as suggested....

I'm using pre-compiled binaries of both Apache and SVN. Is there a mod_dav_svn.so file that works?

Same here everybody. Have everything working under WinXP. This is not good for such a good product! Wish someone could get ahead...

1.4 works just fine with apache 2.2, as long as you're not on windows.
If you're on windows it needs a patch to APR 1.x (which is what
apache 2.2 uses) in order to fix a bug that we happen to trip up, so
you'll have to either patch your version of APR or use apache 2.0.

What does he mean by APR 1.x?

APR stands for Apache Portable Runtime, it's a set of libraries that the Apache server uses. Now AFAIK Apache 2.0 uses APR 0.9, and Apache 2.2 uses APR 1.x. The problem with that is not so much that the libraries aren't compatible Source-wise, but they are not compatible binary-wise.

On Linux that is not such a problem, because poeple usually build SVN from source, and if they have APR 1.x sources they can get Apache 2.2 compatible modules. But on Windows they provide precompiled modules, and they don't do both compiles - I guess moslty because the Windows maintainer has an Apache 2.0 build set-up and there would be to much work/bother/problems/would-need-another-machine to do them both.

And since there are precompiled binaries available for download, nobody in the user community found the time/motivation to build 2.2 binaries for everybody else, I guess.

Cheers, Mike5

Thanks Mike5 for your reply.

I have WinXP Pro, MS VS 6 and CygWin.
Apache 2.2.0.0 installed and working fine with ossl, PHP 5.1.2.2, PEAR, Python Core 2.3.5150.1012, MySQL 5.0.18 etc.

I really want this SVN issue resolved and am willing to compile what is needed. The problem, where do I begin? What is the best advice or direction to compile? Can I compile Win32 Binary with CygWin and not use CygWin as launcher?

Can I get a SVN or CVS connection to the complete sources of Apache and what is needed if it is elsewhere?

What do I have to do?

SVN for Windows is always built using MS VS 6, so I guess you don't need the VS 2005 redistributable.

Other than that, the "instructions" for building SVN are inside the source, AFAIR in the Hacking document.

Cheers, Mike5

Hi Folks, Google is your friend... I have Apache2.2 running under Win XP, and SVN 1.3... I found this page, complete with Compiled DAV files, and a Read.me file with instructions...

http://www.apachelounge.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=824

pointing to this download:

http://www.tomdonovan.net/download/mod_dav_svn-1.3.2.x-w32.zip

I performed the download, followed the instructions (ICONV_PATH1, and reboot) and Viola' !!! SVN now works with Apache 2.2... HTH.
