Subversion behind nginx...

[Dave Cheney]

Hi Sonny,

Can you post more of your config, it might be possible that the server {}
block around this config is causing you to hand off to yourself, that is

server {
   listen 80;
   server_name foo;

   location {
      proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:90;
   }
}

Listen 80 will bind to all interfaces, including the localhost, so in this
config proxy_pass is handing off to itself, in an infinite loop.

Also, what are you using for you svn server, apache + mod_svn?

Cheers

Dave
