Ok, First make sure you can access viewvc outside of Jira. If you cannot do that, then work with the person responsible for your subversion/viewvc installation. If you can, then capture some of the urls as you click through the various tabs for changesets, diffs, etc that correspond to the items listed the Jira Subversion configuration screen. These urls becomes the model you need to use on the Jira Subversion configuration.

Get a subversion generic username/password account to be used by Jira or else use your own if you do not have one yet. This username/password all users will use, so it needs to work across all projects.

Here are my viewvc strings

View Format: http://<svnurl>:8080/viewvc/<svnroo>/${path}?pathrev=${rev}&view=markup

Changeset Format: http://<svnurl>:8080/viewvc/<svnroot>/?revision=${rev}&pathrev=${rev}&view=rev
File Added Format: http://<svnurl>:8080/viewvc/<svnroot>/${path}?pathrev=${rev}
File Modified Format: http://<svnurl>:8080/viewvc/<svnroot>/${path}?pathrev=${rev}&view=diff&r1=${rev}&r2=${rev-1}&diff_format=h
File Replaced Format: http://<svnurl>:8080/viewvc/<svnroot>/${path}/?revision=${rev}&view=markup
File Deleted Format: http://<svnurl>:8080/viewvc/<svnroot>/${path}?pathrev=${rev-1}

using your model strings above and

1) replace <svnrurl> with your url

2) replace or remove :8080 with your svn port or remove it if it is not needed.

3) replace <svnroot> with your svnroot as determined by your model urls. It is possible the <svnroot> does not exist either but highly unlikely.

4) Save your configuration changes

5) I do not remember if you need to just try an issue, logout/login again or restart Jira for your changes take affect, but you can tell by looking at the url property and seeing if the url string matches your updated string.

6) If it works great, if not then compare the new string to your models and make the necessary corrections.

In most cases, it is either your svnurl:port or svnroot that is not set correctly.

Hi Norman,

I can access viewvc outside Jira normally throught url : http://<svnurl>/viewvc

But when i tried to access the viewvc through JIra is showed the message below :

An Exception Has Occurred

The root "svn" is unknown. If you believe the value is correct, then please double-check your configuration.

HTTP Response Status

404 Not Found

My configurations in jira are these:

View Format: http://<svnurl>/viewvc${path}?root=svn&pathrev=${rev}&view=markup

Changeset Format: http://<svnurl>/viewvc?root=svn&revision=${rev}&pathrev=${rev}&view=rev
File Added Format: http://<svnurl>/viewvc/${path}?root=svn&pathrev=${rev}
File Modified Format: http://<svnurl>/viewvc/root=svn/${path}?pathrev=${rev}&view=diff&r1=${rev}&r2=${rev-1}&diff_format=h
File Replaced Format: http://<svnurl>/viewvc/root=svn/${path}/?revision=${rev}&view=markup
File Deleted Format: http://<svnurl>/viewvc/root=svn/${path}?pathrev=${rev-1}

I think that the problem is the root=svn.

Please what is neccessary put in the root?

Thanks in Advance

Please take the root parameter out and add after the viewvc string like I did in my string models to you. The root parameter does not seem to work. So if your root is svn then .../viewvc/svn/... You might find your actual root might be another level down like svn/project so ../viewvc/svn/project/?... Please note the final slash is important!

Hmm. Since the plugin has been upgraded since I needed to make this work, you might want to try a slash after viewvc with the root parameter. viewvc/&root...

If you use http access to the svn repository (not veiwvc) what is your path?

[Norman Abramovitz]

I also noticed your root parameter does not have ? in front of it on some of your model strings. The first parameter whatever it is must use a ? and the remaining parameters must use an & (html conventions) The substitution variable ${path} is not a parameter.

The GUI of the ViewVC is showed of this way:

[Norman Abramovitz]

I am not seeing any differences between these two images you uploaded. Also, my version of viewvc displays thing differently, so I am not sure what images you are refering to. This does not even look like viewvc to me. It feels more like a straight svn http call.

Can you provide some more details, so I can maybe figure out what is still broken? I am also curious if the root parameter worked for you or not.

[Norman Abramovitz]

What is one of the values for an image not showing and for one that is showing?

[fabio marcelo]

Hi Norman,

Follow below my configuration:

Changeset Format: http://svnurl/viewvc/reposname/?revision=${rev}&pathrev=${rev}&view=rev
File Added Format: http://svnurl/viewvc/reposname/${path}?pathrev=${rev}
File Modified Format: http://svnurl/viewvc/reposname/${path}?pathrev=${rev}&view=diff&r1=${rev}&r2=${rev-1}&diff_format=h
File Replaced Format: http://svnurl/viewvc/reposname/${path}/?revision=${rev}&view=markup
File Deleted Format: http://svnurl/viewvc/reposname/${path}?pathrev=${rev-1}

It worked , and the images are being shown too.

The problem images was the configuration in the viewvc.conf.

Thanks alot for your help.

BEst Regards

Which vendor are using for your subversion repository? It helps determine how Jira can access your repository such as websvn,viewvc or fisheye as examples.

Here is one answer involving websvn.

Thanks in Advance

Oh, once things are working you can add other viewvc options on the command lines to setup your defautls if you want to change the initial display behaviors. You will need to read the viewvc documentation.
