How can you connect OpenGrok to a SVN repository?

Question

I was able to install and use opengrok on WinXP using this blog entry

http://theflashesofinsight.wordpress.com/2009/05/11/install-opengrok-on-windows/

I now want to index a subversion repository. I checked out a repository to the source folder and can search the files. However the links for history and annotate are not active.

I have svn installed and indexing the directory give no warnings or errors. (There was an error when I didnt have the SVN client installed)

Is there some configuration needed? I saw this link http://blogs.sun.com/trond/entry/using_subversion_with_opengrok but it did not give me any clue.

I used

java -Xmx1024m -jar opengrok.jar -W  "C:\\OpenGrok\\data\\configuration.xml" -r on -P -S -v -s "C:\\OpenGrok\\source" -d  "C:\\OpenGrok\\data"

and after it

java -Xmx1024m -jar opengrok.jar -R "C:\\OpenGrok\\data\\configuration.xml" -H

This is the resulting config:

I once had the same problem. You need to make sure svn is include the $PATH of your web server. Otherwise, the web application won't be able to call svn and History/Annotate link would be grayed out.
