Can not use new repository

[Nelson]

I had created three repositories and was using them happily. Now I have a need to create a new repository. So I used the http://hostip:9890/ubersvn to create a new repository. Eveything is good. When I go to the linux cammand line, I can still access my old respositories successfully. However, I always get "svn: OPTIONS of 'http://hostip:8880/reponame': 200 OK (http://hostip:8880)" error no matter what svn command I run. It behave consistently eventhough I removed and recreated the new repository. Please help.

Have you tried using ubersvnctl to restart the service? Should be able to find it in /opt/ubersvn/bin

[Nelson]

I logged in as ubersvn user; cd to /opt/ubersvn/bin and did the following:
1. ./ubersvncontrol stop ===> it stopped Tomcat
2. ./ubersvncontrol start ===> it started Tomcat

It did not make any difference. Btw, there is no ubersvnctl command.

So I tried the following:
1. ./httpdserverctl stop ===> got httpd (pid 3750?) not running message
2. ./httpdserverctl start ===> (9 Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:8880
no listening socket available, shutting down
unable to open log

3. ./svnservercontrol stop ===> got httpd (pid 3750?) not running message
4. ./svnservercontrol start ===> (9 Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:8880
no listening socket available, shutting down
unable to open log

Hope these information can shed some light about my problem. Thank you.

Is anything already listening on the port uberSVN is trying to use?

sudo netstat -an|grep 8880

[Nelson]

Hi Vince,

The return of "sudo netstat -an|grep 8880" is:
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:8880 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN

Hi,

Use the -p flag for netstat to show what process owns the socket.

Eg.

sudo netstat -anp | grep 8880

[Nelson]

Mat,

Looks like (see below) it is httpd. It is strange because when I ran "httpdserverctl stop" or "svnservercontrol stop", they both said: httpd (pid 3750?) not runniing. When I ran "httpdserverctl start" or "svnservercontrol start", they both said: (9 Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:8880
no listening socket available, shutting down
unable to open log

So it seems like you have another, non-uberSVN managed Apache running on that port. You can find out who owns that process by doing:

ps -ef | grep httpd

Mat,

This is what I got back:

It lists two httpds. Are they competing for port 3750? Is ubersvn httpd actually running? Do I have to use ubersvn httpd? If not, how do I use Oracle's apache httpd? Thank you for your help.

Nelson

[vinnyjames]

I would leave the oracle apache instance alone unless you're certain there are no important services on that computer using it. Best thing would probably be to change the uberSVN apache port.

[Nelson]

Vince,

Would you tell me how to change the uberSVN apache port? I could not locate anything close to it in conf/httpd.conf. Thank you.

Nelson

[wmellors]

Hi Nelson,

To change the uberSVN Apache port, login to uberSVN as a System Administrator (default user created during install is fine) and go to the Administration > Apache Server tab. There you can change the Apache port. I'd suggest stopping and starting the uberSVN Apache server afterwards (the icons on the top right of the page).

After doing this you should be golden.


Thanks

Wayne
