redmine tries to access subversion through proxy

Added by Lars Scheithauer about 15 years ago

hi everyone,

the repobrowser of my redmine installation is unable to access any files in the subversion repository - however, it is able to access the repository's data structure, so it's able to see the revisions and filesystem tree of the particular project.

Investigating, I believe that redmine tries to access the subversion repository (which are both on the same machine) through our universities proxy, but I am unable to find any settings of apache2 or redmine, where our proxy is defined. The following logfile shows the problem (193.197.74.46 is our projects server, 193.197.74.59 is our networks proxy):

/var/log/apache2/error.log:

Besides of changing the access from http:/// to file:/// for redmines repo browser, any idea why redmine tries to go through the proxy?

Lars

Additional information:
I've just changed the subversion repository of one project to use file:///... instead of http:///... and I get the same result: The repository is browsable, but as soon as I try to look at a file, I do get an error saying, that "this entry or revision doesn't exist in the project archive".

If I access the repository via tortoiseSVN, everything works perfectly.

Hello.
I'm not much knowledge about web server/rails application, but I recommend you to see the Web Server's error_log if you can or if you have not do yet. Since I've got the similer situation of yours past, which file:/// access is fine but http:/// access has problem to my repository, and I could find the way to solve the problem.
I suppose this is some of permission issue.

RE: redmine tries to access subversion through proxy - Added by Akiko Takano about 15 years ago

I'm very sorry, you've already checked web server's log. I misread your post...

Since the error log says "[client 193.197.74.59] client denied by server configuration" so that I think you should add "Allow from 193.197.74.59" to apache conf.
