Subversion ( SVN ) Add-on

I didn't have any problems with the initial checkin.

Yeah, if I had first RTFM for SVN, and used that import command I would have had no errors.

I have that exact same config after installing all the addons I listed above. It's interesting that you had to add it. Perhaps there was a revision to the SVN addon that handled this issue after you installed it? Or perhaps one of the addons I installed did that for me?

First, thanks for the add-on!

I have a slight problem with it.
When I commit, I need to enter my admin credentials instead of my regular user credentials.
Any Idea how to change that?

Sounds like you installed only the SVN plugin, and not those that allow you to use an arbitrary user.

See the last bullet point under Details in this thread.

Thanks for your answer.
I only try to access the repository via http/https. Or I assume I try that.
I use https://serveraddres/svn/repo to connect with tortoisesvn, is my assumption incorrect? Is it svn+ssh: because I use a svnclient?

No, you're correct to use http. It dosn't support https out of the box. (hacking your apache configs its possible to add https)
Have you created a repository yet? Did you install the related WebSVN addon? Can you log in using that? Note that you can browse SVN (over http) using just a web browser too. It's useful for debugging sometimes. What error does it show?

On my ReadyNAS, I edited the apache conf file to grant access to an SVN group that I created, and then added users to that svn group. After adding the group (in frontview), edit /etc/frontview/apache/addons/SUBVERSION.conf and change

# Limit write permission to list of valid users.
<LimitExcept GET PROPFIND OPTIONS REPORT>
        AuthType Basic
        AuthName "ReadyNAS SVN"
        Require valid-user
</LimitExcept>

to

# Limit write permission to list of valid users.
#<LimitExcept GET PROPFIND OPTIONS REPORT>
        AuthType Basic
        AuthName "ReadyNAS SVN"
        Require group svnusers
#</LimitExcept>

Commenting out the LimitExcept lines is what blocks anonymous users.

I am very sorry, a bad case of case sensitivity caught me... :oops:
I am able now to update via my regular login, via http as well as https (can't remember fiddling that last in though).
WebSVN is installed, next time I'll use that first to troubleshoot, thanks for the tip! It doesn't give any errors when browsing via a webbrowser to the repository.

If I understand you correctly, commenting out those LimitExcept lines will make it impossible for anonymous users to read or write?

Yes

hey, I installed your SVN addon, the php support, and the WebSVN addon.

I created a couple repositories, but I can't access them from a tortoise svn client on my PC. I can view the repositories with the WebSVN addon, but when I try to browse to them with https://nasip/svn/reponame i get a error. Also, when trying to do a checkout of the repo from a tortoise svn client, I get the error: Could not open the requested SVN filesystem.

When I SSH into the NAS, i can do local checkouts just fine using the file:/// URL. But if i try to do a checkout using the https://nasip/svn/reponame URL, I get the error: Could not open the requested SVN filesystem.

I only want to use SVN via Http/Https, please help.

You have to authenticate using a username / password as defined as a valid user on the NAS. As an alternative you'd have to edit the part of the SVN's http config where it limits access to authenticated users.

i get the error after authenticating with a valid username/pass
