Starting Apache as Service for Subversion on Windows 2000

This issue relates to an earlier email sent to this list a little more than a year ago which received no response
http://subversion.tigris.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=users&msgId=280124.

I have the same problem with apache 2.0.50 and subversion 1.0.6 win32 installer (svn-1.0.6-setup.exe) on Windows 2000 w/ SP4. I load the modules and set up the location as indicated via the Subversion book:

LoadModule dav_module modules/mod_dav.so
LoadModule dav_svn_module modules/mod_dav_svn.so

<Location /svn>
  DAV svn
  # any "/svn/foo" URL will map to a repository /repos/foo
  SVNParentPath /repos
</Location>

When I attempt to start apache as a service via the Apache Service Monitor I get an error. From the Event Logs I get:

The Apache service named  reported the following error:
>>> Cannot load C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/modules/mod_dav_svn.so into server: The specified module could not be found.     . 

The Apache log files give no information. 

If I start Apache from the command line by navigating to the bin directory and running Apache.exe it starts with no problems and I can view my repositories. I'm not sure if this in an Apache problem or a mod_dav_svn problem.  I searched the subversion bug list and didn't see anything about it. Any input would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Bob

Make sure any .dll files that mod_dav_svn needs are there in your modules
directory (libdb42.dll, libeay32.dll, ssleay32.dll). Of course, make sure
that the .so itself is there as well.

IIRC, This is due that Apache service can't find libraries for
mod_dav_svn. Try put your SVN's *.so modules directory to the PATH
variable.
