How do i find out which svn config is currently used on a server?

Question

I have reciently started at a new place, currently wanting to use svn for source code. On the main server we currently have svn installed with several possible svn configs. I am wondering how to find out which svn config is the svn server is currently using? The svn version is 1.4 and it is on enteprise linux 5.

Thankyou.

Solution

I assume you're using svnserve and not access over http/apache?

For svnserve, each repository has its own conf/svnserve.conf. So if you've created a repostory with svnadmin create /var/svn/project1, then the configuration file will be in /var/svn/project1/conf/svnserve.conf.

If you then access the repository with the URL svn://host.example.com/var/svn/project1, then that config file will be used, and no other. There are no system-wide configuration files for svnserve.
