Describe your issue as much as you can

I am running bitnami-redmine-6.0.1-r0-debian and want to include subversion repositories in Redmine.

• I get an error if i use the http:// version of adding a repository. From apache log:
  svn: warning: W170000: Unrecognized URL scheme for http://<servername>/svn

• I get similar error when running svn command line (on server image)
  svn: E170000: Unrecognized URL scheme for 'http://<servername>/svn/

• I can access it from browser, and from Tortoise on a separate machine.

• I can access it from svn on a remote machine.

• Using file:/// allows for correct access and display in Redmine.

• Version from svn on command line shows no support for https

The following repository access (RA) modules are available:

* ra_svn : Module for accessing a repository using the svn network protocol.
  - with Cyrus SASL authentication
  - handles 'svn' scheme
* ra_local : Module for accessing a repository on local disk.
  - handles 'file' scheme

The following authentication credential caches are available:
* GPG-Agent

I am expecting ra_serf to be included in the svn version output, handling https/http.

Thank you

Hi @zinkellye,

Thanks for using Bitnami and for reporting this issue. I have created an internal task for our engineering team to evaluate your request. I'm adding the on-hold tag to avoid the stale bot to close your ticket. We will keep you posted.

@zinkellye just a quick note to let you know we have released a new revision of our Redmine images including HTTP support for Subversion. You would need to launch a new vm and migrate your app data to get the updated Subversion binaries.

This is the svn --version output in the new images
