Apache not logging SVN traffic

Question

We have a windows apache server which, among other things, serves the SVN repository files.

Here is the configuration part:

<IfModule dav_module> <IfModule dav_svn_module> <Location /svn> DAV svn # specify the root for repositories SVNPath D:/SVN <IfModule authz_svn_module> # our access control policy authentication file # path where policy is written for each user AuthzSVNAccessFile D:/SVN/conf/authz SVNPathAuthz short_circuit </IfModule> # LDAP authentication LDAPReferrals off AuthType Basic AuthName "Subversion Repository" AuthBasicProvider my-ldap Require valid-user </Location> CustomLog logs/svn.log "%{%F %T}t.%{usec_frac}t %{%z}t | %a | %u | %m | %{SVN-ACTION}e" env=SVN-ACTION </IfModule> Timeout 1800 </IfModule> 

The problem is, since I activated LDAP authentication and switched to HTTPS only, it seems that the logfile at "logs/svn.log" does not get any new entry; while it worked before.

Is it possible that the change of an unrelated configuration part interfered with the logging? Or did I just use a wrong CustomLog directive?

Answer 1

In the end I found out that yes, changing the configuration moving to HTTPS only had an effect on logging, even though I am not sure why.

The SSL configuration in fact defined a <VirtualHost _default_:443> block which, once removed and moved all its configuration to root level, made the SVN log work again.
