Redmine can't find subversion or git binary

Added by Tomas Åberg over 11 years ago

Hello everyone.
I've followed these guides to install redmine on my Ubuntu 12.04 server. I also want to integrate redmine with subversion, and the easiest way I think is with the redmine_scm plugin.
I've followed :

I've deployed servers with this setup before without any problems, now however if i go to Administration -> Settings -> Repositories both subversion and git are marked with an ! and says it's unable to find the binary. I think this is the problem when i try to do a commit with subversion, I get the following error:

svn: Server sent unexpected return value (500 Internal Server Error) in response to OPTIONS request for 'http://server/svn/test3'

If I go to Project -> Test 3 -> Repository i get a 404 error code.
Tailing in production.log

Processing by RepositoriesController#show as HTML
Parameters: {"id"=>"test3"}
Current user: tomas (id=1)
Error parsing svn output: undefined method `[]' for nil:NilClass
Output was:

Rendered common/error.html.erb within layouts/base (0.7ms)
Completed 404 Not Found in 226ms (Views: 66.1ms | ActiveRecord: 2.4ms)

And I guess this is the problem that redmine can't find "svn"?

I tried changing the SVN_BIN in subversion_adapter.rb to BIN_ENV = "/usr/bin/svn" but it didn't work.

I'm all out of ideas, could someone please help me? :-)

Okay, so it seems there are two problems here.
  1. redmine can't find the subversion binary
  2. Server sent unexpected return value (500 Internal Server Error) in response to OPTIONS request for 'http://10.0.0.100/svn/test3'

The 2:nd problem I'd guess is due to this problem in apache2/error.log

[Thu Mar 21 08:00:21 2013] [error] [client 10.0.6.5] AuthUserFile not specified in the configuration

This is how my sites-enabled files looks like

redmine

RailsBaseURI /redmine

svn

  1. /svn location for users
    PerlLoadModule Apache::Redmine
    <Location /svn>
    DAV svn
    SVNParentPath "/var/svn-repos"

Alright, I'm close to get it to work now.
I reverted to a old snapshot and got the plugin to work with redmine.
My problem now is that I can't commit to project.

Server sent unexpected return value (500 Internal Server Error) in response to OPTIONS request for 'http://10.0.0.100/svn/test3'

And the problem in apache2/error.log still shows:

[Thu Mar 21 08:00:21 2013] [error] [client 10.0.6.5] AuthUserFile not specified in the configuration

But as far as I know I shouldn't have to specify AuthUserFile because Redmine is used as authenticator?

Alright, got it to work now.

PerlLoadModule Apache::Redmine
<Location /svn>
DAV svn
SVNParentPath "/var/lib/svn"

AuthType Basic
AuthName "Redmine SVN"
Require valid-user

PerlAccessHandler Apache::Authn::Redmine::access_handler
PerlAuthenHandler Apache::Authn::Redmine::authen_handler
#PerlSetVar dsn DBI:mysql:database=redmine;host=localhost
#PerlSetVar db_user redmine
#PerlSetVar db_pass lolproj

RedmineDSN "DBI:mysql:database=redmine_default;host=localhost"

RedmineDbUser "redmine"
RedmineDbPass "mypass"
