svn import PROPFIND 405 errors

Hi,

I just setup subversion 1.1.3 on our fileserver with apache 2.0.53 and BDB 
4.2.52. My first attempt to import failed. Looks like PROPFIND is not 
supported on the server. But I don't have any <Limit> or <LimitExcept> blocks 
in httpd.conf. Below is the output from my import attempt plus the output 
from a telnet session that shows what methods are supported on the server. 
What do I need to do to enable the PROPFIND method?

Thanks,
Tom

Mine was a stupid mistake.  In my httpd.conf, I had:

<Location /estsvn>

when I should have had:

<Location /svn>

because my import command was:

svn import testqadb http://172.16.32.1/svn/test

I could have changed the import command but I wanted all my svn commands 
to use 'svn' instead of 'estsvn'.

This probably doesn't help you because you probably have your Location 
in your httpd.conf setup correctly. However, in my searches on the 
internet, I have found the main causes of the PROPFIND error is due to 
a mismatch in svn command and the Location in httpd.conf or a 
permissions problem. Now I'll ask the obvious. Did you create your 
repository with svnadmin create? Is your repository read/writeable by 
apache? On my server, apache runs as nobody. If this doesn't help, post 
your svn command along with output, relevant portions of your 
httpd.conf and maybe even an 'ls -ld' of your repository directory so 
we can see what the permissions are set to.

Please post your solution just in case I run into this again.

Thanks,
Tom

Please tell me your mistake. I've got the same problem and I can't 
figure it out.

After much searching and head scratching, I found it *was* something stupid I 
was doing. My httpd.conf was not setup correctly.

Thanks,
Tom
