[CentOS] apache2 (httpd) subversion mod_svn_dav and yum

[Ryders]

Hi,

I'm in the process of setting up a new server, obviously I don't want to do it right.. but perfectly! and... without being a complete newbie... I'm still not entirely comfortable with a few things, so pls bare with me!

One of my goals is to set up Subversion and Trac on the machine.

So I've successfully recompiled and migrated to apache 2.0.59 (thread) with mod_dav and without frontpage (I just hate fp...!)

Now, making sure my yum explude list if fine (thread) I tried

yum install subversion mod_dav_svn

and it comes out with the following;

Installing:
 mod_dav_svn             1.1.4-2.ent
 subversion              1.1.4-2.ent
Installing for dependencies:
 httpd                   2.0.52-28.ent.centos4

"httpd -v" returns "Server version: Apache/2.0.59" and so.. I obviously don't need and don't want httpd to be updated...

So I don't really understand where yum gets the version of the current httpd ... any clue?

Can anybody tell me if I did anything wrong or how could I get yum to install subversion and mod_dav_svn without worrying about httpd... which I know is correct anyway...?

Any input would be gold!

Cheers,

Seb.

OK I will try to help but I run mostly BSD and just recently added a Linux (CentOS 4.3) server to my "farm"

It thinks it needs to that version of Apache and it is seeing something else installed. Even if it is newer it sees it as wrong.

You should be able to force the install but I am not sure how to do it with yum. Do a man yum and I bet you will find it.

Hey Skippy,

Thanks for your input! I ended up running

yum clean all
yum update --ignore httpd*

which worked like a charm. However the httpd* was already in the yum exclude list so I don't quite get why it tried updating the httpd. Plus the problem really was about the version which was reported incorrectly, but I believe the yum clean all must've fix that.

Hope this helps anybody else!

Cheers mate!

Seb.

I actually tried to do a

yum install subversion mod_dav_svn

as well.

But I'm stuck with some dependency errors.

If you install subversion and subversion-devel via yum on CentOS, it will install APR and neon, which should solve your problem.

Careful though, altering APR version will require an Apache recompilation.
