I am using Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS with subversion 1.8.8 and attempting to set up remote svn access via apache2 with mod_dav_svn - this is a migration to linux from a windows server running apache2.
The issue I am having is that any <location> with a space in its name will not work, the below example will work:
<Location "/svn/Test_Repository" >
DAV svn
SVNParentPath "/media/windowsshare/TortoiseSVN-Repo-Store/Test Repository"
SVNListParentPath On
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Subversion Repository"
AuthUserFile /etc/subversion/passwd
Require valid-user
SVNIndexXSLT "/repos-web/view/repos.xsl"
</Location>
However when I replace the underscore in the location with a space to make it <Location "/svn/Test Repository" > I get a 403 forbidden error with the following in the error log:
[Tue Apr 21 14:46:34.991584 2015] [dav:error] [pid 30873] [client 192.168.20.5:63935] Could not fetch resource information. [403, #0], referer: http://192.168.20.12/svn/
[Tue Apr 21 14:46:34.991597 2015] [dav:error] [pid 30873] [client 192.168.20.5:63935] The URI does not contain the name of a repository. [403, #190001], referer: http://192.168.20.12/svn/
The directory /media/windowsshare/TortoiseSVN-Repo-Store/ is mounted with www-data having both user and group ownership.
What could be causing this, and how do I go about fixing it? I have spent the best part of six hours searching and experimenting with no luck.
