I am trying to switch my web server from Windows to Linux. I am using OpenSuse and I am currently running it in a virtual machine to ensure that I can get everything working before I wipe my web server.
I have installed Subversion but when I try to run the svnserve service from inside yast it displays the following error:
/etc/init.d/svnserve start returned 1 (unspecified error) :
How can I debug this error message
Faced with that situation, I typically examine the svnserve script and run the steps manually to find out which is failing. You may find output in /var/log/deamon.log, though.
The init.d services are not very consistent in what and where they log their output.
