WebDAV, SVN, Apache2 on OS X 10.6.2

Question

I'm trying to configure SVN server on OS X 10.6.2 via Apache2. Whenever I enable the module in Wev -> Settings -> Services then try accessing the site, it fails. So I attempted an apachectl configtest and I'm getting a crazy amount of errors:

httpd: Syntax error on line 132 of /private/etc/apache2/httpd.conf: Cannot load /usr/libexec/apache2/mod_dav_fs.so into server: dlopen(/usr/libexec/apache2/mod_dav_fs.so, 10): Symbol not found: _dav_add_response\n Referenced from: /usr/libexec/apache2/mode_dev_fs.so\n Expected in: flat namespace\n in /usr/livexec/apache2/mod_dav_fs.so

When I attempt disabling the related services and enabling then one by one (dav_fs_module, dav_module, dav_svn_module and authz_svn_mod each seems to fail.

What the heck. :-(

Thanks in advance,

Dave

Answer 1

I'm having a similar issue when trying to install Subversion 1.4.3 with Apache 2.2.15 on Solaris 10. Apache seems to work fine, but if I try to browse the Subversion directory the page is blank and there are either "bus error" or "illegal instruction" errors in error.log.

Did you enable both 'dav_svn_module' and 'dav_fs_module'? The former requires the latter and may be the cause of the error you're seeing.
