The configuration.yml is only read upon server startup. Did you restart the application server after changing the configuration?
The rest looks good, it should show you the ‘managed’ option in the Project settings > Repository tab.

For good measure, you can also whether the configuration is parsed correctly by running the following command

RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rails runner "puts OpenProject::Configuration['scm']['subversion']"

It should output the hash:
{"manages"=>"/home/openproject50dev/...", ...}

BTW: The repository integration guide is available here: https://github.com/opf/openproject/blob/stable/5/doc/operation_guides/manual/repository-integration.md
Please let me know which link was invalid so we can fix it, thanks!

Thank you very much for the help. I found the problem and OpenProject is now working with Subversion.

I was getting an error (“undefined method `[]’ for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError)”) with:
RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rails runner “puts OpenProject::Configuration[‘scm’][‘subversion’]”

Then I used a online YAML validator and found errors in my configuration.yml due to blank spaces.

My configuration file looks like this after correcting errors (without commented text):

rails_force_ssl: false
session_store: :cache_store
disable_password_choice: false
production:
email_delivery_method: “smtp”
smtp_address: “example.com”
smtp_port: 25
smtp_authentication: :plain
smtp_domain: ‘example.com’
smtp_user_name: ‘myaccount’
smtp_password: ‘password’
scm:
subversion:
client_command: /usr/bin/svn
manages: /home/openproject50dev/openproject/repositories/svn
rails_cache_store: :memcache

Thanks again Oliver

Yeah, YAML is a whiny child regarding whitespaces. I’ll think about if we can validate the YAML ourselves during startup without much effort.

Thanks for the follow up on the incorrect link, I’ll have that fixed.

Best,
Oliver
