Cannot browse SVN repository - 404 error
Added by Frank Voorburg over 3 years ago
After installing Redmine inside a Debian 10 VirtualBox VM, I cannot browse SVN repositories. Instead I get a 404 page stating "The entry or revision was not found in the repository". I know, this has been asked before. Unfortunately, the usual solutions don't seem to work. Hopefully someone can assist me with this.
Here's what I'm using:
- Redmine 4.1.0
- Ruby 2.5.5
- Rails 5.2.4.1
- SVN 1.10.4
- MySQL/Apache/Passenger
Inspecting "production.log" shows me:
Started GET "/redmine/projects/my-first-project/repository" for 192.168.178.106 at 2021-05-09 12:46:19 +0200 Processing by RepositoriesController#show as HTML Parameters: {"id"=>"my-first-project"} Current user: myusername (id=5) Error parsing svn output: No close tag for /lists/list Line: 4 Position: 117 Last 80 unconsumed characters: Output was: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <lists> <list path="http://debbie.fritz.box/redmine/svn/my-first-project"> Rendering common/error.html.erb within layouts/base Rendered common/error.html.erb within layouts/base (0.4ms) Completed 404 Not Found in 72ms (Views: 8.3ms | ActiveRecord: 3.4ms)
From my own PC, I can checkout and commit to the SVN repository.
On the server, I can run the following command and it successfully outputs the entire XML:
sudo -u www-data svn list --xml 'http://debbie.fritz.box/redmine/svn/my-first-project'@HEAD --username myusername --password mypassword --non-interactive --no-auth-cache
The only thing not working is the repository browsing in Redmine itself.
While debugging and editing "redmine/lib/redmine/scm/adapters/subversion_adapters.rb" I temporarily changed:
str << " --username #{shell_quote(@login)}" unless @login.blank? str << " --password #{shell_quote(@password)}" unless @login.blank? || @password.blank?
To:
str << " --username myusername" str << " --password mypassword"
Then the repository browsing in Redmine itself does work.
It's also not related to an SSL certificate, because on the VM I don't use one. I also tested on a VPS with proper Let's Encrypt certificate and the problem is the same.
Does anyone have an idea how I can solve this issue? I'm assuming it is not a bug but an incorrect configuration or permission setting somewhere.

Got it working! In the dav_svn.conf configuration, I changed:
#read-only access <Limit GET PROPFIND OPTIONS REPORT> Require valid-user Allow from localhost # Allow from another-ip Satisfy any </Limit>
To:
#read-only access <Limit GET PROPFIND OPTIONS REPORT> Require valid-user Allow from localhost Allow from 127.0.0.1 # Allow from another-ip Satisfy any </Limit>
So I added the line Allow from 127.0.0.1
