Problem with SVN

[CoolRock]

I've just installed SVN on linux but it's not working right. Tried using it for a wordpress installation but there's an error coming out.

root@coolrock [/home/coolrock/public_html]# svn co http://svn.automattic.com/wordpress/tags/2.7
svn: Unrecognized URL scheme for 'http://svn.automattic.com/wordpress/tags/2.7'

From the faq below....
I just built the distribution binary, and when I try to check out Subversion, I get an error about an "Unrecognized URL scheme." What's up with that?

Subversion uses a plugin system to allow access to repositories. Currently there are three of these plugins: ra_local allows access to a local repository, ra_dav which allows access to a repository via WebDAV, and ra_svn allows local or remote access via the svnserve server. When you attempt to perform an operation in Subversion, the program tries to dynamically load a plugin based on the URL scheme. A `file://' URL will try to load ra_local, and an `http://' URL will try to load ra_dav.
The error you are seeing means that the dynamic linker/loader can't find the plugins to load. This normally happens when you build Subversion with shared libraries, then attempt to run it without first running 'make install'. Another possible cause is that you ran make install, but the libraries were installed in a location that the dynamic linker/loader doesn't recognize. Under Linux, you can allow the linker/loader to find the libraries by adding the library directory to /etc/ld.so.conf and running ldconfig. If you don't wish to do this, or you don't have root access, you can also specify the library directory in the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable.


So how do I know where is the correct library directory? Please assist if possible

How did you install SVN?

30 chr

[CoolRock]

wget apr-1.3.3.tar.gz
wget apr-util-1.3.4.tar.gz
wget db-4.7.25.tar.gz

tar zxvf apr-1.3.3.tar.gz
tar zxvf apr-util-1.3.4.tar.gz
tar zxvf db-4.7.25.tar.gz

did the usual..

cd <dir>
./configure -parameters-
make
make install

then...

wget subversion-1.5.4.tar.gz
tar zxvf subversion-1.5.4.tar.gz
./configure --with-apr --with-apr-utils --with-db
make
make install

this was roughly what i did.

I would suggest you install via yum since you are not familiar via souce compilation.

[CoolRock]

right... so i'll have to uninstall all those and install via yum?

Update #1

Ran all these instead...

wget http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5.2/os/x86_64/CentOS/perl-URI-1.35-3.noarch.rpm

rpm -Uvh perl-URI-1.35-3.noarch.rpm

yum install subversion

Update #2

root@coolrock [/usr/local/src]# svn help

However.....

root@coolrock [/home/coolrock/public_html]# svn co http://svn.automattic.com/wordpress/tags/2.7
svn: Unrecognized URL scheme for 'http://svn.automattic.com/wordpress/tags/2.7'

Ideas?

Nothing to do

Seems installed to me and yet.. cannot work..

[tanfwc]

then I doubt yours is not just installing now :) You need to debug.

[royong]

can you confirm that you have the relevant linker/libraries?

# ld config -v
# svn --version

seems to me that you don't have NEON and hence no http:// support.

[CoolRock]

root@coolrock [~]# ld config -v
GNU ld version 2.17.50.0.6-6.el5 20061020
ld: config: No such file: No such file or directory
root@coolrock [~]# svn --version
svn, version 1.4.2 (r22196)

Latest update: I managed to fully uninstall subversion then yum install subversion. Now wordpress svn works for me but apache couldn't load the modules in httpd.conf for the svn. So I had to comment them out. Any ideas?

Originally...
root@coolrock [/home/coolrock/public_html]# service httpd restart
Syntax error on line 35 of /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf:
Cannot load /usr/local/apache/modules/mod_dav_svn.so into server: /usr/local/apache/modules/mod_dav_svn.so: undefined symbol: dav_register_provider

After making changes in httpd.conf by commenting out the svn..

root@coolrock [~]# service httpd restart
[Thu Jan 01 13:54:23 2009] [error] VirtualHost 120.50.34.25:0 -- mixing * ports and non-* ports with a NameVirtualHost address is not supported, proceeding with undefined results

httpd works now but I'm also unsure of the above mentioned errors tho.
