SVNParentPath question

Hi chaps,

Just a quick question. I have a Ubuntu based SVN box here that I've just
setup. Currently it works fine with one repository, but problems start
as soon as I go the next step and set it up for multiple repos.

Currently my repos are in /var/svnroot (/var/svnroot/1xxx
/var/svnroot/2xxx etc). If I set the SVNPath properties in the SVN
config to point to a specific repo then I can use Tortoise on my windows
box to happily do the biz without any problems. However, eventually I
want to support multiple repos. So, I change the swap the SVNPath line
for 'SVNParentPath /var/svnroot' and restart apache. 

As soon as I do that, tortoise reports the following error when trying
to check out any repos (even the one that previously worked when using
SVNPath);

'/svn/svn/!svn/vcc/default' path not found.

Any idea what I may have mis-configured to get this to happen?

Olly

(not sure if the SVNADMIN ver is the same as the subversion version, but
thats the only thing I could find relating to it).

Show us your exact configuration directives in your apache  
configuration file; maybe we'll spot the error.

Also, what version of Subversion and Apache are you using?
