Platform:

CentOS release 5.5 (Final)
SVN, version 1.4.2 (r22196)
Apache httpd.i386 2.2.3-43.el5.centos.3

I have a file called subversion.conf, /etc/httpd/conf.d/subversion.conf:

LoadModule dav_svn_module     modules/mod_dav_svn.so
LoadModule authz_svn_module   modules/mod_authz_svn.so

# Virtual path for websvn
Alias /wsvn /var/www/websvn/
<Directory /var/www/websvn>
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride All
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>

# Subversion configuration
<location /wsvn>
    DAV svn
    SVNListParentPath on
    SVNParentPath /var/www/wsvn
    AuthzSVNAccessFile /etc/svn-acl-conf
    AuthType Basic
    AuthUserFile /etc/svn-auth-conf
    Require valid-user
</Location>

In my svn-acl-conf I have the following:

[/]
joeblogs = rw

In my svn-auth-conf I have the following, and used # htpasswd -cm svn-auth-conf joeblogs:

joeblogs:$apr1$ellT3...$2spAjOJ2W1kFDieAoJJeg

In my directory /var/www/ I have have this:

4 drwxr-xr-x 4 apache apache 4096 Oct  1 20:56 wsvn

And it wsvn

4 drwxr-xr-x 7 apache apache 4096 Oct  1 20:56 APP
4 drwxr-xr-x 7 apache apache 4096 Oct  1 20:56 DEV

The problem is when I try and import a project using this:

svn import temp http://x.x.x.x/wsvn/DEV/dev-proj -m"Initial import"
svn: Server sent unexpected return value (500 Internal Server Error) in response to OPTIONS request for 'http://x.x.x.x/wsvn/DEV/dev-proj'

And when I try and browse in Firefox http://x.x.x.x/wsvn I get the following

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

However, if I comment out the following I can browse to that site without any problem, and I can see the repositories:

<location /wsvn>
#    DAV svn
#    SVNListParentPath on
#    SVNParentPath /var/www/wsvn
#    AuthzSVNAccessFile /etc/svn-acl-conf
#    AuthType Basic
#    AuthUserFile /etc/svn-auth-conf
#    Require valid-user
</Location>

How can I fix this problem?

    It is a bug in SVN. You can not access root and see the list of repositories if you have an authz file.

    It is true at least if you have SVNRoot in “/” as I have.
