mod_rewrite prevents mod_DAV_SVN access, CPanel CentOS server

I followed the tutorial on http://sven.webiny.com/subversion-on-cpanel-3-with-centos-55-and-easyapache-32/ to allow mod_dav_svn (HTTP) access to SVN Repositories on my server.

Everything works fine, But the problem is on those hosts having .htaccess mod_rewrite on their web roots (like Wordpress for example), The mod_rewrite supersedes DAV_SVN and location directive (of Apache Conf.), Which is boring and stops me from being able to make /svn location use DAV_SVN.

A target example site is abiusx.com which doesn't always work on http://abiusx.com/svn

Solution

  • Well the answer was, you can't put another handler on roots of your virtual host, unless you specify all the error handler documents:

    <IfModule dav_svn_module>
<IfModule authz_svn_module>
<VirtualHost 127.0.1.1 178.162.154.252 178.162.154.252:443>
       ServerName abiusx.com
       SSLEngine on
    SSLCertificateFile /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.crt/server.crt
    SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.key/server.key
