    Description

      i am trying to access repository via apache and getting:
      
      "Could not open the requested SVN filesystem"
      
      i can perform file-based operations on repository as user svn without any
      problems (import/checkout/commit/update/log).
      
      repository created as user svn with:
      
      cd /www/svn/repository
      svnadmin create --fs-type fsfs test
      
      everything underneath /www/svn is owned by svn:svn
      
      apache runtime environment:
      ===========================
      THREADS_TYPE=native_threads
      LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:/usr/lib:/opt/OpenSSL/lib:/opt/apache2/lib:/usr/platform/SUNW,Ultra-4/lib:/usr/ccs/lib:/opt/Svn/lib
      
      relevant lines from httpd.conf:
      ===============================
      User svn
      Group svn
      LoadModule dav_module		modules/mod_dav.so
      LoadModule dav_svn_module	modules/mod_dav_svn.so
      <Location /repos>
      	DAV svn
      	SVNParentPath /www/svn/repository
      </Location>
      
      if i run ps -fu svn i can see the relevant apache processess running as a
      correct user
      
      
      when i try to access http://hostname/repos/test, i get the following in the
      apache error log (LogLevel debug):

      corresponding entry in the access log:

      Firefox/1.0" "-" "-"
      
      i tried using "SVNPath /www/svn/repository/test" instead of "SVNParentPath
      /www/svn/repository", the result is exactly the same when i try to access
      http://hostname/repos
      
      i also tried the following without success:
      
      find /www/svn/repository -exec chmod 777 {} \;

      Cory Omand (comand at blastwave dot org) sent me a patch that solved the problem
      for me. Below is his note:
      
      "I patched SVN 1.1.1 to remove the issues with the 'no converter found for UTF8
      -> Native' (or similar).  Basically, it's a problem with the APR conversion
      function, which is using a macro that does not appear to be expanding correctly
      on Solaris.  It's probably not the best solution, but it works for everyone that
      uses the blastwave packages -- I've attached the patch."
