Problem with installing subversion 1.8.5 with apache 2.4.3

I am installing apache 2.4.3 and subversion 1.8.5 and I keep getting this error when starting apache:

Unknown DAV provider: svn

I researched the internet and reread the INSTALL instructions in subversion and I can’t get it to work.  

Here is my apache config:

<Location /svn>
   DAV svn <— this line causes the error
#This directive allows serving multiple repos
   SVNParentPath /var/repos
   SVNListParentPath on
 SVNAutoversioning on
   ModMimeUsePathInfo on
  SVNAllowBulkUpdates On
#Access control policy
        AuthzSVNAccessFile /etc/svn-policy
        Authtype basic
        AuthName "Subversion Repository!"
        AuthUserFile /etc/svn-auth-file
#<LimitExcept CONNECT GET PROPFIND OPTIONS REPORT>
         Require valid-user
#</LimitExcept>
SVNIndexXSLT "/svnindex.xsl"
</Location>

I have linked all of the proper mods to apache.

Any ideas?

TIA,

ZK

Thanks for the idea of checking for incompatibility.

Instead of just making that statement, I suggest you verify that you do
in fact have the correct LoadModule statements for mod_dav and
mod_dav_svn in your configuration file. Most likely, mod_dav_svn is not
being loaded.

If the configuration is indeed correct, then check your error.log; there
might be an incompatibility between mod_dav_svn.so and your HTTPd version.
