Subversion: Secure connection truncated

Question

I'm trying to set-up a subversion server with apache2/webdav access. I've created the repository and configure Apache according to the official book, and I can see the repository in a webbrowser.

The browser shows:

 conf/ db/ hooks/ locks/ 

Although clicking any of those links gives an empty xml document like:

<D:error> <C:error/> <m:human-readable errcode="2"> Could not open the requested SVN filesystem </m:human-readable> </D:error> 

I've never used subversion before so I assume this is correct?

Anyway, when I try to connect via a command line client, it asks for my password, I give it, then I get the (useless) error message:

 svn: OPTIONS of 'https://svn.mysite.com': Could not read status line: Secure connection truncated (https://svn.mysite.com) 

Or with SSL turned off:

 Could not read status line: connection was closed by server 

The command I'm using is:

 svn checkout https://svn.mysite.com/ svn.mysite.com 

Subversion was installed using Ubuntu's package manager. It's version 1.6.6 on Ubuntu 10.04.

My Virtualhost Cofiguration:

<VirtualHost 123.123.12.12:443> ServerAdmin [email protected] ServerName svn.mysite.com <Location /> DAV svn SVNParentPath /var/svn/repos SVNListParentPath On AuthType Basic AuthName "Subversion Repository" AuthUserFile /etc/subversion/passwd Require valid-user </Location> # Setup The SSL Certificate Paths SSLEngine On SSLCertificateFile /etc/ssl/certs/mysite.com.crt SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/ssl/private/dmysite.com.key </VirtualHost>

Got it!

In the vhost:

 SVNParentPath /var/svn/repos SVNListParentPath On 

Should be:

SVNPath /var/svn/repos 

Unless you have multiple repositories in the directory.
