only svn checkout -> unusable URI.. & report request faild on..

Hello

i have a problem subversion.
when i do the command on a linuxconsole: svn checkout https://xxxx.de
then it comes this error:
"svn: REPORT request failed on '/var/kunden/webs/test/!svn/vcc/default'
svn: Unusable URI: it does not refer to this repository"

and in the apache error log:
[Mon Oct 10 20:11:01 2005] [error] [client xxxx] Could not parse
src-path URL.  [500, #190001]
[Mon Oct 10 20:11:01 2005] [error] [client xxxx] Unusable URI: it does
not refer to this repository  [500, #190001]

on my winxpSP2 with TortoiseSVN on "SVN update" there come the same
errors. in the apachelog too

funnily enough "commit, import, add, etc." worked!!!!
if http or https, thats the same

my versions
debian sarge, subverion  version 1.1.4 (r13838) (installed with
apt-get), Apache/2.0.54
config in httpd.conf:
<Directory /var/xxxx/svn>
 DAV svn
 SVNPath /var/xxxx/svn
 SVNAutoversioning on
 AuthType Basic
 AuthName "My Project"
 AuthUserFile /var/xxxx/passwd/svn.passwd
 Require valid-user
</Directory>

Please note that it must not be equal to where SVNPath is pointing or it 
will not work at all.

That is odd...

I'd not use <Directory> tags but instead <Location> tags.

 From your example I'm guessing this is a virtual host you're using  
only for Subversion? Then I think this is the right way:


<VirtualHost *:80>
     ServerName svn.example.com
     DocumentRoot /anywhere/that/exists
     <Location />
         DAV svn
         SVNPath /var/xxxx/svn
         SVNAutoversioning on
         AuthType Basic
         AuthName "My Project"
         AuthUserFile /var/xxxx/passwd/svn.passwd
         Require valid-user
     </Location>
</VirtualHost>


If I remember correctly, you must still have a valid DocumentRoot  
definition, but it will never be used for anything.


Please also upgrade to Subversion 1.2.3 so that you don't run into  
any known issues which have already been fixed.
