Cannot access svn repository in correct path

Question

My repository directory is /var/www/svn and access file is /var/www/svn-auth and I create repository project1 in svn directory

My configuration

svn.mydomain.com.conf

<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1:8080> ServerName svn.mydomain.com <Location /> DAV svn SVNPath /var/www/svn/REPOSITORY_NAME AuthType Basic AuthName "Subversion repositories" AuthUserFile /var/www/svn-auth/passwd Require valid-user </Location> </VirtualHost> 

some modification httpd.conf

Listen 8080 DocumentRoot "/var/www/" <Directory "/var/www"> 

nginx svn.mydomain.com.conf

server { server_name svn.mydomain.com; location / { proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080; } } 

I can login but cannot access file It say file not found like this error_log

 [Fri Feb 01 10:06:44 2013] [error] [client 115.87.26.145] (20014)Internal error: Can't open file '/var/www/svn/REPOSITORY_NAME/format': No such file or directory [Fri Feb 01 10:06:44 2013] [error] [client 115.87.26.145] Could not fetch resource information. [500, #0] [Fri Feb 01 10:06:44 2013] [error] [client 115.87.26.145] Could not open the requested SVN filesystem [500, #2] [Fri Feb 01 10:06:44 2013] [error] [client 115.87.26.145] Could not open the requested SVN filesystem [500, #2] [Fri Feb 01 10:06:45 2013] [error] [client 115.87.26.145] File does not exist: /var/www/favicon.ico 

then I try change SVNPath /var/www/svn/REPOSITORY_NAME to SVNPath /var/www/svn and access svn.mydomain.com/project1 and error_log still show my wrong path

 [Fri Feb 01 10:23:28 2013] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] (20014)Internal error: Can't open file '/var/www/svn/format': No such file or directory [Fri Feb 01 10:23:28 2013] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] Could not fetch resource information.

the right path should be /var/www/svn/project1
not /var/www/svn/ , /var/www/svn/REPOSITORY_NAME

I try use SVNPath /var/www/svn/project1 and this work I can access project1 but if I config like this I can't access another project

Please help!!!! Thank you very much.

OK, short blamestorming for your Apache's config

Your ServerName + Location + SVNPath means now:

For URL http://svn.mydomain.com/ open repository, created at /var/www/svn/REPOSITORY_NAME

If you haven't /var/www/svn/REPOSITORY_NAME directory or repository under this path, you'll get "Can't open file"+"Could not open the requested SVN filesystem" errors

If you want to have access to more than single repository under common base-path (svn.mydomain.com/repository1, svn.mydomain.com/repository2...) and place all repos as subdirs of /var/www/svn/ you have to:

• Re-read SVN Book, Basic Apache Configuration chapter
• Replace SVNPath by SVNParentPath and fix options accordingly
• (Optional) Add SVNListParentPath on - see "Listing repositories" from "Repository browsing" section
