could not execute PROPPATCH on master repository

[Sakari Jokinen <sa...@gmail.com>]

I’m trying to use the apache write through proxy for the svn repository.

After svnsync init and sync I checkout the repository (via the slave)
and try to commit something (with tortoiseSVN 1.6.10) to it but get
the error message “””
Commit failed (details follow):
At least one property change failed; repository is unchanged
Error setting property ‘log’:
Could not execute PROPPATCH.
“””

Any ideas on what could cause this?

Windows server 2008 on both master and slave
I’m using https in port 4430 in both the slave and master apache.

Slave apache logs/error.log does not show anything about the attempt.
The startup generates this information:

Any help would be appreciated
