SVN 1.6-无效的URL

Question

Recently I uninstalled SVN 1.7 from mac osx and installed SVN 1.6.23 following the instructions on this page: How do I uninstall subversion on OS X

'svn --version' runs well and says 1.6.23 is installed.

but when I run:

svn info http://www.domainname.com/svn/path_to_folder

it gives me following error:

http://www.domainname.com/svn/path_to_folder:  (Not a valid URL)
svn: A problem occurred; see other errors for details

The command works fine on another mac which had SVN 1.6.18 preinstalled. So there is no problem with the server or the commands. Does anyone know what it could be?

Answer 1

You don't have any repository access module (RA) that can communicate with repositories using the HTTP protocol. If you only have ra_svn and ra_local you can only use svn: or file: URLs:

* ra_neon : Module for accessing a repository via WebDAV protocol using Neon.
  - handles 'http' scheme
  - handles 'https' scheme
* ra_svn : Module for accessing a repository using the svn network protocol.
  - with Cyrus SASL authentication
  - handles 'svn' scheme
* ra_local : Module for accessing a repository on local disk.
  - handles 'file' scheme
* ra_serf : Module for accessing a repository via WebDAV protocol using serf.
  - handles 'http' scheme
  - handles 'https' scheme

You've apparently compiled your own binaries. The INSTALL file mentions this:

b. Serf library 0.3.0 or newer ( http://code.google.com/p/serf/ )

serf is a library for HTTP and WebDAV which is an alternative to Neon for accessing Subversion repositories over http:// and https:// URLs. serf is designed as an asynchronous library which can take advantage of HTTP pipelining, so ra_serf may be more efficient than ra_neon and better for HTTP proxy caches. The serf library can be found at:

  http://code.google.com/p/serf/ 

In order to use ra_serf instead of ra_neon, you must install serf, and run Subversion's ./configure with the argument --with-serf. (To only use ra_serf and not ra_neon, you should also use --without-neon.) If serf is installed in a non-standard place, you should use

  --with-serf=/path/to/serf/install 

instead. If you build with both ra_neon and ra_serf, Subversion will use ra_neon by default; add "http-library = serf" to the [global] section of your ~/.subversion/servers file to use ra_serf instead.

For more information on serf and Subversion's ra_serf, see the file subversion/libsvn_ra_serf/README.
